Hello All,
I have just received notice from one of our members that the factions out to close the Suffolk Trap and Skeet Range are trying one more time to close the range. The sportsmen, sportswomen and youth of that area desperately need our help. This range must stay open for their use.
I am asking everyone, no matter where you live and use a range, to fax polite letters about the importance of having a safe place to target shoot. These faxes must go out before the resolution is voted on, on August 22nd. I am including the email I received from John Cushman, which includes the fax numbers to contact. Please save your original fax and send it (or a copy) to the NYSCC office.
Thank you.
Yours in Conservation,
Harold L. Palmer

Subject: Suffolk County Legislature To Decide Range Issue
The Parks & Recreation Committee of the Suffolk County Legislature has just "DISCHARGED WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION" INTRO RES. NO 1738-2006 which would PERMENENTLY CLOSE THE SUFFOLK COUNTY TRAP & SKEET RANGE and CANCEL THE EXISTING CONTRACT WITH THE VENDOR WHO IS OPERATING THE RANGE. This bill will now go before the entire Suffolk County Legislature on Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006 at 3:30 PM at the Rose Caracappa Auditorium of the William H. Rodgers Legislative Building located at 725 Veterans Memorial Highway , Hauppauge , New York 11787 . This will most likely be our last chance to defeat this bill. Be there early and sign in to speak against this proposal. We need to make a strong showing that there are many good and lawful people who want this range to stay open.
The issues have not changed and our arguments to keep the range open and operating are just as valid now as they were when we started this debate five years ago. We are the majority and we are just as entitled to have a place for our recreational shooting as any Suffolk County resident who has a desire to engage in baseball, football, soccer, golf and /or boating. We have just as much right to have a shooting facility as do all those other ones. We must make our case that we are law abiding, tax paying citizens and this is the safest outdoor activity of all those mentioned.
Everyone should make a concerted effort to be there to speak against this proposal, but if you cannot make it to this hearing I urge you all to contact Mr. Bill Lindsay, the Presiding officer of the Suffolk County Legislature as soon as possible at; 631-854-9611 or Fax; 631-854-9687 and URGE rejection of this bill IR-1738-2006. Be polite but firm that this proposal to close the Trap & Skeet Range is NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE MAJORITY OF SUFFOLK COUNTY RESIDENTS .
