Rifle and Pistol Ranges are open daily from 8:00 a.m. until dusk. You must be a member to use ranges. Ranges are closed on special occasions. The City of Berlin compost pit will be closed on all sporting clays events, Shoot'n for a Reason, and the Ironman. Please check the BCC calendar for these dates.
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 PointHello Strangers,
It feels like eons since we all last got together. If you haven’t heard the board received a face lift with the addition of Bart Schepp , Jeff Tischaefer and Liza Fritz. While we welcome back Amy Thoma and Don Metzger, we say a fond farwell and a huge thank you to the following board members which had served the board so well. Members Steve Klika, Kevin Rosenau and Ken Basel you will all be missed as you have dedicated your time to making this a great club for all to enjoy. While I am sure you all are as tired of being cooped up as I, directors of the club have been singularly taking time to keep some of the maintenance options still going at the club and pheasant farm. If you have not heard Mark Trampf our caretaker of the pheasant farm and his family have purchased their own home and have resigned from the pheasant farming business. Thanks, Mark, for the last 3 years. Dave Polzin and Bob Pribnow are now in the task of finding a replacement soon to get ready for the upcoming season and arrival of pheasants. A huge Thank You to the membership for the hardships we have endured during this last month. One could just feel sorry for ourselves and pass blame, or we can take this time to reflect and come out with a new rejuvenated effort to take time to enjoy what the club has to offer. I for one look for that to be the case as I feel we will come back better than ever. However, with this new found attitude will be the need for involvement of the members to help out as we will be busy! Take time after we get back in the swing of things to help out at the club as there will be plenty of opportunities. While there is not much to report the board and myself want to wish that you all remain safe and look forward to when we can come together again to enjoy the club we all cherish. See you on the line, Gary Witzke- President gwitzke@outlook.com 920-204-1329 Volunteer OpportunitiesWe have listed, with explanations, many of our activities in which you may volunteer. If all +1,600 members pitch in and volunteer to help with just one thing that is listed, the board members could spend less time themselves making your club successful. Of course, volunteer hours count toward pheasants or shooting cards ... not to mention the feeling of satisfaction for a job well done! Click HERE for more information (last two pages of document).

The job vacancy for the pheasant farm has been filled. Thank you to all those that applied.
We will post something in the near future introducing you to the new caretaker. Hunter's Education Update
I have been informed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources that due to the coronavirus pandemic, all Hunter's Ed classes are being cancelled until further notice. This includes our upcoming class at the Berlin Conservation Club that you all have signed up for.
We usually run two classes annually. We hope we'll be able to hold our next class, in August 2020, but that depends on what happens with this pandemic. It's currently impossible to predict if we will be able to or not. With turkey season coming up, I'd like to remind you that you can still hunt with the state's mentored hunting program as long as you have an eligible adult to act as your mentor. Mike Thorson If you have questions, please contact Mike Thorson by email at whollymoses04@gmail.com, or Shelly Clark by calling 920-361-1505. Berlin Conservation Club Merchandise
