Chris said "I look at my time in the military as a way of helping to secure the feedom we as Sportsmen and women enjoy everyday. Bow hunting is my passion and I've been fortunate enough to hunt various big game animals outside of NY." Chris also enjoys waterfowl hunting and traveling to South Dakota, pheasant hunting. He really enjoys being able to help support the gun club, as secretary, and help to keep the club open. The members and facilities are the best.
