About
The Clarence Shooting Club, Inc. is a Western New York pistol and rifle shooting organization focused on promoting safe firearm handling, disciplined marksmanship, and competitive shooting opportunities. Incorporated in 1959, the club’s mission emphasizes improving shooting skill through organized rifle and pistol activities, teaching safe firearm care, and fostering characteristics such as good-fellowship, self-discipline, and sportsmanship among its members.
While the club itself does not own its own standalone range property, it leases range facilities from Ten X Shooting Club, Inc., giving members access to both indoor and outdoor ranges suitable for precision pistol, smallbore rifle, and long-range rifle practice.
Clarence Shooting Club is active in regional shooting competitions, including indoor and outdoor pistol leagues, and welcomes shooters of all experience levels — from novices interested in improving fundamentals to seasoned competitors seeking precision pistol challenges.

Located just outside Akron/Newstead, NY, this range supports rifle calibers that function safely within the backstop configuration and provides spacing conducive to both sight-in work and controlled target practice.
The covered firing area allows shooters to set up rests, bipods, and other stabilization gear, while the longer lanes help members refine shot placement and consistency at extended distances. Shared amenities on the outdoor range property create a welcoming environment for club gatherings and extended practice sessions. This facility is particularly valuable for members preparing for seasonal hunting or enhancing their rifle proficiency.
