Mission StatementThe BCC is a dedicated group of individuals promoting the protection and propagation of fish and game in a safe, sportsman-like and law-abiding manner. We encourage young and old alike to get involved with shooting and outdoor sports through our many safety programs and training in the proper care and use of hunting and fishing equipment. Our hope is to maintain for the use of the community our ranges and reserves for the purpose of developing characteristics of good fellowship, self discipline and self-reliance essential to good sportsmanship, true patriotism and citizenship.
President's PointWhile the cold weather is almost gone for another year, our winter trap and archery leagues are in full swing. Each league has been increasing in numbers, hopefully a positive sign for the future.
We have a very full calendar for the 2023 season. From our youth shooting, to our summer leagues, to all our specialty shoots, it will get very busy very quickly at BCC! Once again, we will be hosting the Northeast Zone shoot the first weekend of June, any volunteers will be greatly appreciated. The last time we held this event was 2019 and we threw approximately 70000 targets in three days. The BCC annual banquet is also coming up very quickly, I would like to thank everyone on the planning committee for all the work they put in to make the banquet such a huge success! It is one of the main reasons everyone gets to enjoy the great club we have come to know! Our spring membership meeting is March 13th, along with Board of Director elections. I encourage you to take a little time to come to the meeting and learn a little of what goes on behind the scenes at the club and if interested run for a spot on the board. New visions and fresh ideas are key to keeping our club growing in the future. Looking forward to seeing everyone this season! Lets make it one of our best yet! Thanks, Don Konen President Volunteer OpportunitiesAre you looking for a way to earn a shooting card, or pheasants?

Our Mission Statement - The BCC is a dedicated group of individuals promoting the protection and propagation of fish and game in a safe, sportsman-like and law-abiding manner. We encourage young and old alike to get involved with shooting and outdoor sports through our many safety programs and training in the proper care and use of hunting and fishing equipment. Our hope is to maintain for the use of the community our ranges and reserves for the purpose of developing characteristics of good fellowship, self discipline and self-reliance essential to good sportsmanship, true patriotism and citizenship. Unfortunately, our mission statement was violated by two senseless individuals on Monday evening, July 12th. These two individuals (one is a current member and one is not) decided to shoot a yearling deer on one of our ranges as the Board of Directors held their monthly meeting a few yards away! Thankfully, because of the vigilance of some board members, and with some luck, the individuals were located later that evening by law enforcement and confessed to shooting the deer. We thank the BCC member who alerted board members of finding blood on the range, and ultimately finding the wounded deer, which had to be put down by the DNR Warden due to its injuries. As Directors and representatives of your Club, we want to make all aware that WE WILL NOT TOLERATE this behavior, or any other unsafe manners, on Club grounds! We have been made aware of other recent incidents of unsafe behavior at the ranges. This has got to stop! All rules of the Club are posted on the BCC website, and range rules are also posted at both ranges. If someone needs help reading and understanding these rules, contact a board member or don’t use our facility! These rules are put in place for a reason – to keep everyone safe! If you don’t want to follow our rules, then don’t come to our Club! This latest incident of the shooting of the deer is truly disheartening and a blatant disregard for what the BCC is all about! If you choose to ignore the rules, you WILL be referred for any charges as allowed by law! As always, if you see someone who is not following the rules, please contact a board member or get as much information as you can. Help us keep your Club a safe place to be and for all of its members to continue to enjoy for many years to come! BCC Board of Directors BCC Range Violation & Damage![]() ATTENTION RANGE USERS: Unfortunately, someone has total disregard for the BCC range rules! The use of a shooting bench to hold a beer can target is unacceptable! The rules are posted at each shooting range and nowhere in the rules does it state a person can use a shooting bench and beer can as a target! As you can see from the picture, the shooting bench has been damaged by the bullet hitting it. If this happens again, the shooting benches may be removed or further action may be taken. We urge anyone who sees someone using the range in an unsafe manner, or violating range rules, to contact a Board member. This is your Club. Please respect it, it’s property, and other members who use the ranges in a safe manner.
Range Use ReminderThe rifle/pistol ranges are closed on certain dates (part day or all day). Closures include Central WI Youth Trap League; 100 Bird Shoots; Sporting Clays; 3-D Archery Shoots; Thurs. Night Summer Trap League; Law enforcement training, etc. Please refer to the calendar on the BCC website for all closures.
