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.
Membership Meeting February 24th at 7 PM

Bethlehem Rod and Gun Pheasant Hunting 2024
SO we have leased the —- Farm again this year. We will continue to stock pheasants on weekends in Oct and have one weekend in November and January. The club stocks both pheasant and chukars. Since we are a lease and not a preserve, we must adhere to NYS Hunting Rules. There is a 2 pheasant per day limit. There is also a 2 chukar per day limit. Stocking is done on the scheduled days at 7am. Helpers are always needed. It is a great way to learn the property, get in some work hours and of course be there at 9am to start hunting. Last year we had a great turn out and we need to sign in and out and list the birds, taken so I can report to the board the usage and success rates. It is important to report so we can justify the budget.
The stocking schedule and lease rules are below

Bethlehem Rod and Gun Club is looking for a Few Good Members
Members needed to step up and assist with leading club events. There are plenty of workers willing to step in and help work the events but need a leader to Chair the event. The Club has many members who have helped out and will gladly back you up and assist with the work and create a great event. Events such as the Family Day, Pig Roast and events you can think up are waiting for a Chair to lead the event. We and many members are ready to join and work the event. We need to get work hours and will help you out. So please step up and contact Tony Sorrentino (the President) and volunteer your efforts. Do your part to help make this Club a better place and have fun.
To all Members,
