Suffolk County Trap & Skeet Range Reopens in New York!

On July 15, after more than five years of hearings, debates and studies, the Suffolk County Trap & Skeet Range has finally reopened. 

Please show your support by visiting the range located at 165 Gerard Road in Yaphank, N.Y., 11980, (631) 924-5600.  The hours of operation are 9 A.M. to 5 P.M., Wednesday through Sunday. 

Legislator Kate Browning is not giving up her fight on her resolution to close down the Suffolk County Trap & Skeet range permanently, and only large numbers of people can and will influence the members of this committee, of which Browning is a member. We can, and we must, persuade the committee and/or the County legislature to do the right thing and keep the Suffolk County Trap & Skeet Range open. 

At the last Parks & Recreation Committee meeting held on June 21, the committee decided to table IR-1738-2006 and bring it back up for discussion at the next Parks & Recreation Committee meeting.  The next meeting is scheduled for August 2, at 11:00 a.m., at the Suffolk County Legislative Building, Veterans Memorial Highway, Hauppauge, NY 11788, (631) 853-4000. 

Please call your Legislator and plan to attend this meeting and urge the Committee members to oppose IR-1738-2006.  The Suffolk County Legislature can be reached at (631) 853-4074 or at the following link http://www.co.suffolk.ny.us/legis/.
