FIN, FEATHER & FUR CONSERVATION SOCIETY
Established in 1939

WHAT THE 3F CLUB IS ALL ABOUT

At our 374 acre complex,  in the Town of Lewiston, New York, we take pride in our organized activities, which includes: shooting sports, archery, fishing, hunting, bird watching. x-country skiing and a variety of social events. Our facility invites you to bring your entire family to enjoy a total outdoor experience.

Conservation ~ Conservation is a very important part of the Three-F Club. Some of our members study birds and waterfowl through their Spring and Fall migration. You can get an up close and personal view of some of the most interesting birds in the region. Caught in a mist net, data is taken and leg bands are installed. The birds are then released for future study. ~ By planting pine trees, wild flower and clover, we contribute to the natural habitat. In addition, ponds have been created for nesting waterfowl.

Ponds ~ There are four ponds on our property for your enjoyment. The largest is a 32-acre lake stocked with Large Mouth Bass and Pan Fish All of the ponds can he used for bird watching, duck hunting, dog training and fishing.

Pheasant Hunting [Optional Program] ~ Our Pheasant program allows members to purchase various packages of birds, which are released for hunting. The size of the package can vary depending on individual interest. As the Three-F Club is non-profit, we are able to keep the cost of these packages low for our membership. ~ The birds are released prior to the members scheduled day of hunting. Bird releases are held on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday Special packages can be arranged for other days. [see pen]

Pavilion ~ A newly constructed 40 X 1 00 foot pavilion is located adjacent to the clubhouse. It is available for large parties, wedding receptions, company picnics and other events. [pavilion]

Shotgun ~ Shotgun shooters will enjoy our 5 skeet fields and 2 trap fields.  Organized winter skeet leagues last 20 weeks, followed by an awards banquet. Our 10-week summer league varies to include skeet and trap. [skeet/trap]

Indoor Pistol Range ~ Our 50 foot range, designed for pistol and small caliber rifles, has 5 shooting stations, each with mechanical target transporters, making it unnecessary to leave the shooting line to change targets. It is well ventilated and has excellent lighting.

Outdoor Rifle & Pistol Range ~ The Club's outdoor range is located to the west of the clubhouse and allows for shooting for various distances, up to 200 yards. [picture]

  Archery ~ The outdoor course rambles through pines and hardwoods. It has 40 3-D targets and 14 excelsior bales to accommodate all types of shooting. In addition. 5 practice targets are available for general use. During the winter months we convert the pavilion to an insulated indoor shooting range. Range activities include, a 20-yard league and 3-D target shooting, with targets placed in a setting of hay bales and pine trees. Truly a unique atmosphere for the indoor shooter. Our Pro-Staff archery shooters will gladly share their expertise to help archers, young and old improve their skills

Social Activities ~ The Three-F Club has sponsored numerous activities including Christmas parties. dances, ice skating. family picnics. canoe racing, wine and cheese tasting and much more. There is truly something for everyone. [picture of social quarters]

TID-BITS YOU SHOULD KNOW ARE RIGHT HERE!

FAILURE TO ABIDE BY THE AFOREMENTIONED RULES MAYBE GROUNDS TO LOOSE YOUR CLUB MEMBERSHIP

RIFLE HUNTING: NY State Deer Hunters   in two southern tier counties will be allowed to hunt deer with rifles this fall. Members sighting-in their rifles on our outdoor range should use extreme caution to ensure all rounds impact the backstop. There have been several instances of rounds going over the backstop and striking nearby structures. Fortunately no one has been struck, injured or KILLED. The Board of Directors has cooperated with local authorities regarding these incidents.  If someone is hurt or worse, killed because of your careless shooting, you will be prosecuted, your family will loose you to a jail term and all the members may loose their Club - we don’t want to loose our facility due to the carelessness of a few members.  ONLY FIRE WELL AIMED SHOTS & BE SURE YOU'RE SHOOTING LOW INTO THE BERM!

FRIDAY NIGHT DINNERS: Stop by the Club on Friday nites and enjoy one of the best fish fries in the area. Other items are also available from Chef Joe’s full menu. Bring a guest or two and support your Club!

Shortly after the Outdoor Range was re-opened new steel plates were placed on all the target frames to identify the target with the shooting position - 1,2,3 etc.  Doug Walck spent his time, energy and money to make these markers and affix them to the target stands. Someone purposefully destroyed these plates by shooting them with what appeared to be a shotgun, and various caliber rifles. If you witness an incident, tell the person to stop it & advise a member of the Board of Directors.  It’s the actions of a few  who will end up spoiling it for the rest of us.
