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 PointGreetings all, well an election is done and a new chapter starts in our
country. Obviously, the pandemic / flu is still around and making noise. Apparently, it has escalated from Charmin to Shot shells as supplies have dried up. Our provider for ammunition is already 13 semi loads behind. As a precaution to have shells on the shelves for our shooters the board decided to allow only box purchases to be made for shooting at the club. This was not an easy decision and hope is that this will end by midsummer. Let’s get into some positive news, starting with the Winter Trap and Archery Leagues. As most of you know our Archery indoor league is off and running with 10 teams this year. Thanks to all that are taking time to help make this program flourish! The Winter trap team has still fell victim of the Covid 19 issue. It is good to see some back at it on the trap line here too thanks to the group that runs this program every Thursday. On a somber note, Covid 19 not only short changed the club of many events it also saw a well-known board member resign. Mark Belau handed his resignation after 8 plus years on the board, signaling covid 19 as a contributing factor. Mark was concerned for his family and career. We would like to Thank Mark for his dedication to the club for the past years and hope to see him back with us participating at the club soon. Gene Thom has graciously accepted to finish out Marks term which comes due in 2022. Gene has been a staple on the board for many years and we welcome him and his knowledge back on. What’s on deck at BCC you may ask? Well first of all our banquet is around the corner March 13 at the Oshkosh Convention Center. Banquet tickets are available as this year due to covid the committee has put in many stop gaps to assure everyone’s safety. After the banquet on March 17th stop down to the club for our first St. Pats 50 bird shoot. Corned Beef and Cabbage will be on the menu for those who would like to keep the holiday spirit. Hamburgers will also be available furnished by the Target Terminators. Calling all Youth shooter whether experienced or not the CWYTL is looking for you, sign up and info will be available on March 6 starting at 8am. Also, the Target Terminators will have their sign up on March 6th as well. Parents and youth are asked to attend on March 6th at 12 pm. Lastly, the second Monday in March will be the Membership meeting. I would like to see some additional participation as we have elections to address. Please be a part of your club. We also are always looking for help around the grounds as well as the pheasant farm. Please donate some time to keep this club going in the right direction, and remember this Is Your Club!!

Shell ShortageAs most are aware, there is currently a shortage of shells and reloading supplies. The BCC shell order has not yet been filled and we are unsure when we will receive our order. Due to this, the BCC will only be selling shells by the box, and not by the case. We ask for your cooperation during this time and ask that you only purchase what you need. Thank you for your understanding.
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.
