What's Happening @ Your Club?

Open Pistol Shooting

Tuesday nights; doors open @ 7pm. Members’ range fee is $4 and nonmembers’ fee is $8 per night. All are welcome but we encourage frequent non-members to become members and support the club. Please be aware that non-members must fill out a one-time waiver. Forms are on hand at the range.

Trap

At this date, the BVCS Fall Trap League is in it's 4th week. We have 4 teams with 35 shooters signed up. For a change, weather has not been a factor on our shooting days. 6 weeks to go - maybe I should not have mentioned the good weather. Could curse us!!! Competition has been good. Some experienced shooters have only missed a few targets for all they have shot so far & the newer shooters are gaining in experience, confidence & target busting capabilities.

We always hope to see more activity with our trap endeavors since I & the more than capable volunteers our club has are here to service those that choose to shoot at BVCS.

Instruction & advice is available to anyone that wants to ask for it. There is still time to become involved in our league or just to come out & practice your sharpshooting abilities.

I would like to thank the volunteers that make up the trap program & the Club in general for the support I get with the trap program. Without these people, BVCS would not have the limited success that we enjoy. Thank you ALL!!!

Trap Person; Ernie

Fall Pistol League

Dear Pistol Shooters,

I am planning on starting the fall league on September 27th 2018 with the first relay beginning at 6pm, a second starting at 7pm and a third relay starting at 8pm.

Tuesday will be open shooting only with Thursday reserved for league shooting.

Each week two national matches per relay will be shot for score at the 25 yard line. You can shoot one gun (22 CAL.) or two guns (22 CAL. and C.F.) for a score each week.

Come out, have fun and shoot the league. It will be great to see you again.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 337-3555 or e-mail cwfjr45[at]gmail[dot]com.

What's Happening @ Your Club?

2019 BVCS Dinner

The club voted to have our annual Dinner & Chinese Auction in the future moved to the 1st Saturday in April (unless a future Easter conflict). The weather has been an issue for cleaning one night & committing to a caterer etc.

The plan for 2019 is: Swearing in of officers will be at the January 2019 meeting and our club Dinner & Chinese Auction will be April 6, 2019.

Open Pistol Shooting

Trap

As this is written, the Spring League is in the middle of the 5th week. Mother Nature has NOT been very kind to us for the early parts of our league. We've had days with no shooters & days with 3 or 4 brave souls coming out to brave the cold, snow & rains. Sunday, April 23rd was our 1st banner day, not only with shooters, but with bright blue skies & little wind. A great relief! Many came out for the 1st time this season to enter & participate in our league, along with more of the faithful shooters. As of now there are 34 paid up contestants, & with better weather ahead hopefully more to come. The trap committee is giving dispensation to those not having shot the required number of scores due to the inclement weather. So, with 5 weeks remaining, come on out & get your guns dusted off & have yourself some fun.

Shooting hours remain: Sunday; 9:00 am - 12:00 noon & Thur.; 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Thanks; Trap Person; Ernie

Trap

Since the Fall League Trap party, there has been no trap presence at our club. The next shooting to take place at BVCS will be the WNY Winter League March 4th & 11th. In the past, the Young Guns have provided, most efficiently, epicurean delights for the shooters passing through for these 2 days. Not having spoken to Young Gun supervision yet, I hope this will continue for this year also. As in the past, the trap committee will pick up the cost of all food expenses so the Young Guns make a worthy profit.

Following the WNY League, the next Sunday, March 18th, our Spring League will commence. Standard sign up times are; Sundays, 9:00am - 12:00 noon & Thursday, 6:00pm - 8:00pm. Hope to see many shooters for the 10 week league.

Boston Valley will be represented at the Evans R & G Club Winter Trap League with 10 shooters from our club starting Jan. 6th.

During late Nov., Hamburg R & G Club contacted me asking if BVCS could lend or sell cases of White Flyer targets as the Lowrey Targets they had were not working in their trap machines. 2 Hamburg members & I loaded 53 cases & noted in our points book this transaction. It has not been determined whether payment or replacement will take place.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas & will have a SAFE, PROSPEROUS & HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!

Thanks; trap person, Ernie
