MORE ABOUT US
The Pioneers are comprised of mostly older Sportsmen of Niagara County that remain active in their sport of choice and remain as pillars of knowledge that they continue to share with others.  There is a continuing problem though, because as members get along in years and fade away there is not a big line of people waiting to fill those empty shoes. Today's Pioneers play a vital role in incorporating their wisdom gained from many years of experience and are more than willing to share their experiences with everyone. There are NO age restrictions and younger heads are more than welcome. Younger heads bring fresh ideas. Meetings are NEVER boring. 

Now days, in the growing need for more Sportsmen of getting active in preserving their sport, the Pioneers need a boost in membership. If you would like to join us, or even just if you want more information please email us and we'll get right back to you. Please state in your email headline "Pioneers" so it won't get deleted accidentally. That sometimes happens when sorting email from all the junk stuff. Email: Pioneer Sportsmen

Oh, one more thing. Every year the Pioneers send a youth to the New York DEC Conservation Camp. All fees paid by the Pioneer Club. The money is raised through fundraisers and members going in their own pockets.
