The Bighamton Rifle Club sustained major damage during the flooding that accrued in June of 2006. Approximately 8ft of water was present on the main floor causing a total loss of the interior of the building. Due to the hard work of the membership the club has been restored and is being used for the 2006-2007 season. There is plenty of improvements to still be made but a majority agree that it is fully functional and better then ever. Keep in mind while viewing the pictures that the club is still under construction and will be constantly improved as time progresses. I think you will agree that a huge amount of work has been completed since June.

Pictured to the left is the facility as the water was receding, the high water mark is indicated with the red line.
Looking down range you can see the tracts for the motorized automatic target retrieval system as well as the back plates.
Each shooting station has a bench for resting equipment while in the standing position. These swing out of the way for knelling or prone shooting. Also featured is excellent lighting and partitions between stations.
This is the ready room or large meeting room looking toward the kitchen. The stats room is through the door on the right and the rest rooms are through the more distant door.
Again the ready room or large meeting room looking toward the shooting line. Access to the shooting stations is through the double doors. The shooting stations can be seen through the observation window.
This is a view of the scoring table in the stats room from the door that leads to the ready room.
