I suppose this is a negative review. I am not a visitor and I have not visited the facility. I have not been afforded the opportunity.
I would welcome the opportunity to join the wait list. However I can’t.
I am a longtime Easton resident, born and raised locally, resident of Easton my whole life, aside from time in college in ROTC, and a career as an officer in the US Air Force, in which I Easton was my home of record.
My grandfather was a sheet and trap champion, who shot with the President of Remington. We still have a few trophies from this era.
I don’t know any club members. It seems to be difficult to impossible to be considered for membership without a sponsor. This is common with many clubs.
One of the penalties of being a career military officer is being stationed far from home for 20 years instead of building local friendships. One thing I noticed in the military as I traveled around, was that people love to place obstacles in the path of others. That is the case with this club and most shooting sports clubs. There is no path to membership. Instead it is purposefully made exclusive.
When I was in California, I wanted to join the St Francis Yacht Club–perhaps the most prestigious yacht club in the United States. Being in the military and newly assigned there, I did not know anyone. Fortunately, the StFYC felt some obligation for military servicemen, and had a method to join in this case. They also very nicely waived the initiation fee for me, and allowed me to join. That is the only case in which obstacles were removed from my path. I could list a many cases where I was prohibited from joining a club by virtue of the fact I did not know any members. Reaching out to such clubs is met with a vigorous shove away.
I can’t drive 2 hours to a welcoming club, nor can I afford to be away from home driving so far, as I have dogs to look after.
If anyone would consider sponsoring me, I would be grateful.

I’m fortunate enough to be a member at FCF&GPA and it’s a great club with wonderful facilities. The sporting clays courses can be on the more challenging side, but that makes it more gratifying when you really nail a station. I’ve seen the woods vary from 15 to 16 stations and I believe the course is normally 15.
Skeet and trap are my main uses for the club and the skeet fields are well maintained by the membership.
The rifle and pistol range is great and the five stand seems to be getting a lot of use by members and their guests.
The various winter leagues are always a blast too.
Everyone at the club is very friendly and if I set aside the days when I just haven’t been on my game, it’s always a great time.

I had the opportunity to visit Fairfield County Fish and Game this past weekend. The course on this particular day was 16 stations, but looks like it is typically 14 stations. Target presentations were on the difficult side, but that may be due to the group I was shooting with. HOA was 81 (not me) this particular day and I was about 8 targets under my average. Targets were varied with both long and short, fast and slow. All the standard types where there with some rabbit, quartering birds, a nice teal, and an over-abundance of chandelle (just because I hate them). Since this is a private club with a closed waiting list, public shoots seem to be the only opportunity to shoot there without being a guest. The grounds are typical Connecticut countryside and the course is fully automated. Definitey worth a second visit if I can find somebody to hook up with.
