Forum boss , regarding deleted post

It was not a real estate sale . My uncle has passed away and he lived and run the hunt camp ( family hunt camp ) now I’m the oldest and live in Florida . I’m considering moving to NY ( where the 420+ acres are ) and want to get feed back from members . Nothing being sold , traded or profit being made . I want to get an idea of how many near the area in NY need a long range and if others know of other ranges in the area . Life changes are not easy and since this forum is the only active forum I’m on , I thought they could shed some light on the shooting needs in that area .
Sorry If I broke any rules . Generally I only post answers raised by other members . This is the way the search function shows to contact you . Please delete if not appropriate.
PS . I can see in retrospect your thoughts on the post . I listed the the homes as possible sleeping areas for week long events . Similar to Bob Harts / Dr Lou Palmassinos range in Walwapen Pa .

Advice needed . Please help me understand the laws , other ranges near Elmira NY and if you think a 600 to 1000 yd range is needed ?
I currently find myself as the oldest member of our family and as such it is my opinion that counts ( sort of , long story ) . This has been in the family over 100 yrs , first as a working farm then a hunt camp . Expanding throughout the years .
I really need advice on current conditions in the Elmira area specifically the Lowman area . Thanks to all .
Please advise Forum Boss or delete if I offended and rules .

The closest 1000 yard range is in Ridgeway Pa.
I agree check with NYSRP association
 
I live 20 minutes south of Buffalo and shoot Ridgway once a month. There's a 750yard range in Batavia but never been there. More ranges the better IMO.

My local club is hoping to stretch to 550-600.....maybe. Can't speak to what may / may not be down that way.

Couple years ago we had a guy about 30 minutes south of Buffalo propose a 1K range. Residents shot it down in a heartbeat.

Do you know how much land he owned ?
Our farm has a couple of good things going for it . First is its layout and borders state land , second is the small valley and hill , third is the fact my uncle loved big tractors and equipment. We have a D-8 JD , a large excavator , a couple backhoes .
All I can do is try , hopefully before I decide to move to lovely NY .
 
alot of NY is shotgun only.
and hideous handgun laws even for LE.
I just found out that property owners cant even have a pistol on their property, unless you are a ny resident and have paperwork.
Dang , even some ammo seems banned . I gues Ill be leaving fifty or more banned semi auto rifles down here in Florida. IF I MOVE .

Well I'm sorry to hear that. I moved from a spot that I thought I'd never leave before due to unforseen changes in a family situation myself. Hopefully it works out well for you.
