We sleep safe in our beds because rough men
stand ready in the night
to visit violence on those who would do us
harm.

It's Tommy this, and Tommy that,
and 'chuck 'im out, the brute!'
But it's 'Savior of his Country,'
When the guns begin to shoot.

enough to bring in his equipment to dig the

→ Next Meeting: December 14,
2008
→ Highlights from the monthly
meeting:
→ We are sending a get well card
to our friend Rocky.
→ There will be a work party for
some general maintenance Sunday,
November 16, 10am.
→ The Christmas party will be
held at our Club House on Sunday,
December 14, 2pm.
→ The Taconic Valley Rod and Gun
Club was incorporated in 1927!
It was in existence for many years before
that though. In fact Teddy Roosevelt was a
regular competitor on our grounds when he
was New York City Police Commissioner from
1895 to 1897. In short this makes our club
some where around 111 years old! Quite an
accomplishment and something we as members
should all take pride in and celebrate.

Originally incorporated in 1927,
the Taconic Valley Rod and Gun Club is
located off Dater Hill Road in the hamlet
of Eagle Mills, Town of Brunswick,
Rensselaer County New York. The club
property boasts rifle ranges of 50, 100
and 200 yards with covered firing line,
50 foot pistol range with covered firing
line, informal trap and archery ranges,
and Clubhouse and picnic area. Small by
comparison to many other fish and game
clubs, this allows for a more close knit
group able to respond to the needs of our
membership and facilities.Few
organized shoots are scheduled by the
Club. Rather, groups of members will meet
for various activities on the Club
grounds centered on the shooting sports.
Shooting the bull in the Clubhouse is
popular on Sunday afternoons!
Meetings are held the second Sunday of
each month at 2:00 pm in the Tom Parker
Memorial Clubhouse. Work parties are held
occasionally, usually announced at the
meetings, in the quarterly newsletter, or
on this website. A cookout is held on the
club grounds during August, and a holiday
party is held.
Total membership ranges between 70 and
100 members. In order to join,
prospective members should complete a
membership application and submit with
$10 application fee during a regular club
meeting, or on any Sunday afternoon when
at least 4 Board members are present.
Annual dues are required.
Club dues have remained low for several
years now, due in large part to the
efforts of your officers and board
members who never spend a dollar if we
don't have to. Please pay your dues
promptly.
