In 1941 the Club started in the basement of the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church on Rt 94 heading into Washingtonville NY as a 22 league; hence the name.
Our first deed in Plattekill (for 86 acres) was 1984; with our current club house built in 1985.
We currently own 7 parcels of land totaling 186 acres.
Members enjoy; hunting, fishing, trap, pistol & rifle range, archery, and boating.

Bethlehem Rod and Gun Club is a member of Tri-County Archers Association. The archery committee is co-chaired by Edward Malle and Bob Hillerio. As a reminder, every person using the facility, must sign in. Members are responsible for the actions of their guests
Archery is believed to the first step in the shooting sports. Well before pellet, BB and paintball, this is where youth are first exposed to how much fun and challenging the shooting sports can be.
The Bethlehem Rod and Gun Club hosts four 3D archery shoots each year and is looking to expand its program. The Archery Committee is supported by the club and club event fees. We do not to charge kids under 12 at our events and members participate at discounted fees.
Archery Committee
I am proud to say the Bethlehem Rod and Gun Club has a very active archery committee. The goal of the Archery committee is to expose youth to the outdoors and to encourage others to enjoy the sport of archery through education and instruction in a safe environment. Each 3D event is supported by volunteers and instructors who are dedicated to the advancement of archery as a means to build confidence in young children and individuals who are new to archery.
The work of the Archery Committee includes the design and construction of the course, trail clearing, marking the course, maintaining the targets, conducting the 3D shoots and breaking down the course. There are ample opportunities to complete the mandatory work requirement within the archery program.

Pheasant Season
Pheasant 2021-2022
We have secured the lease of the Hoekstra Farm again this year. We will be holding several additional hunts and will hold a youth hunt. Hunting is from 9a till dark. Remember to keep dogs under control (leashed) until you begin hunting and after you have finished in order to not disturb the farm animal or other hunters. There are cows, calves and ducks, guinea hens, and turkeys raised by the farmer. Any farm animal killed will have to be reimbursed- please don’t let this happen. We are also only allowed to hunt pheasant and chukka so no shooting ducks, turkey, rabbits etc. Don’t ask the farmer about hunting other species- he has been asked and offered but we can’t afford to pay. He does allow several persons to deer hunt. No we cannot. Enough said. We have expanded hunting to the entire week after stocking (we used to be limited to four days). Also please don’t shoot near the cows or across the property borders. Please remember to sign in and sign out- it is really important to provide usage reports. Please come out and help stocking!! Good Hunting. Below is a map of property, directions and stocking dates.
If you have any questions, ask the Chairperson-Bob Bready 845-883-5935
