Coxsackie Sportsmen's Club

Coxsackie Sportsmen's Club has been operating in Greene County since the late 1920s, cementing itself as a backbone of the region's shooting sports community. The club will celebrate its centennial in 2027.

Monday nights at 5 PM. Indoor range runs October through spring. Outdoor shooting takes over spring through October. Indoor is limited to rimfire and straight-walled centerfire handguns up to .44 Remington Magnum jacketed. Outdoor range is unlimited (no bottlenecked cartridges on metal targets).

Both ranges operate as cold ranges—all firearms stay unloaded except on the firing line under direct supervision of a Range Safety Officer.

Trap is open Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9 AM. No membership required. Any shotgun works. The club launches 5-inch round clay targets from an electric launcher at 60-70 MPH from 16 yards behind the trap house—simulating game bird flushes and providing excellent small game season prep.

Novices see noticeable improvement quickly. There's a nominal fee covering target costs.

5 Stand runs during warmer months on Fridays starting at 4 PM. Closed during winter. Check back in spring for updated details.

The club hosts black powder shoots with chili on scheduled dates (January 18, February 15, and March 22 in 2026). Registration runs 9-10 AM with shooting starting around 10 AM, typically wrapping by 2 PM.
