Rod and gun club in Bath, New York, incorporated in October 1939; club records also point to a first president, Z.L. Parker, dating back to 1885. In June 1940 the club opened a clubhouse alongside a purpose-built skeet and trap layout — a control station, high house, and low house arranged around eight concrete shooting positions in a semi-circle — credited to Fred Thomas of the Winchester Arms Company working with club member Everette Buckley. That skeet and trap layout remains in use by members today.
Beyond skeet and trap, the club maintains a rifle range and an indoor rifle range on-site, and a sporting clays course a short distance down the road draws shooters from outside the area in summer. The club has also added an archery area, including an alligator-shaped target. At one point the club described a rifle and pistol range being developed across the road from the clubhouse.
