Pistol Team/Indoor Range - June

Pistol Team Report June 2023

When shooting please stand close enough to put your shots on the target. Do NOT, however, stand closer than the seven-yard line. If you fire a string of shots and find no holes in the target, then nobody (including YOU) has any idea where those shots impacted. Keeping your shots inside the trap is your responsibility..

Please: Only shoot paper targets.

Approved calibers posted on the range.

Place finger on the trigger ONLY when ready to fire.-SAFETY FIRST.

Unsafe practices damaging BVFG range or property may cost your membership.

Please take out the trash when the containers are full.

Clean up all your brass.

Archery Committee - Archery

Details: Written by Joseph Bosch; Published: May 24 2023

Archery Club

The Archery club gets together Monday night indoors from 7 till 9 to shoot a round of 3D targets.

The indoor range has a green arrow curtain that can be pulled in front of the pistol backstop. The curtain is rated for a 50lb bow using blunt bullet tip points. We have target bails and foam blocks to be placed between the targets and the curtain. This is to prevent damage to the curtain and to your arrows in the unlikely chance you miss.

On the outdoor archery range target houses have been placed at 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards. CrossBow speed bags are installed on all of the target houses. Please put the crossbow speed bags back on top of the foam blocks to keep them out of the weather when you are finished.

Good News! Broadheads can be shot at the Styrofoam blocks in the target houses. Just be careful when removing the broad heads and pulling out large chunks of the foam.

PLEASE DO NOT SHOOT BROADHEADS AT THE “CROSSBOW SPEED BAGS” OR ANY OTHER TARGET ON THE CLUB GROUNDS.
