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.

President's Point

While it seems to have been forever since my last correspondence, I sincerely hope this finds you all in good health and safe. It has been great to see most of you again as BCC arises back out of the dark days. While by no means are, we out of the woods so to speak, however, the gathering of good friends and associates are good for the well-being.
This has been a troubling year with so many cancellations of activities around the club, and while we have lost some events this year we can only hope with your help that we will arise stronger and better
in the future.
Well enough of the oh hum, so you ask what has been going on at the club. I am glad you asked as we are open once again on Tuesday nights for open shooting. The hours are from 5-8:30pm. Gary JD Ross has once again taken the reins on the challenging 5 stand events which still continue to grow in participation. Registered ATA targets are
back for the next 4 weeks with the 28th of June being a Marathon event. If that’s still not enough to satisfy your shooting we are open on Sundays from 9-Noon. Thursday night league under the new leadership of Liza Fritz is underway and while a bit different this year the teams are coming back. With all of this though I asked the members to please be
considerate of your fellow members as we go through these times. While everybody has been enjoying the weather lately keep in mind that the
keyword to keeping you all safe is social distancing. While you may or may not agree we all have people away from the club grounds that we associate with and we do not want to inadvertently pass on anything to them. So please respect your fellow members. For those of you that want to sharpen up your archery skills Rick Reyes along with Don
Metzger has brought back with a dedicated group 3D archery. Please watch the website and calendar for more events. Lastly probably our biggest growing event Sporting Clays is back with Joe Gozinski sitting awake all hours of the night trying to stump the participants. With the help of Jerry Reetz, Gary Ross and others this is an event you
don’t want to miss!
On a more somber note the 26th Annual Ironman event has been cancelled it was with heavy heart that this decision was made. Steve Beres has put his heart and soul in this event since taking it over from Jim Chops Gurkowski. While this event is a large fund raiser for the club the safety of all its participants and volunteers was of a higher concern. This is not to say the event is dead it will be back better than ever! Another event which was to have been taken place was the Shooting for a Reason which under the guiding of Shelly Clark and company made the painful decision to cancel for basically the same reasons as mention prior. This event also will I am sure come back bigger next year!
For those of you that come to shoot on Tuesdays you may notice more young shooters stepping up to the line, as these individuals start to hone their skill for the upcoming Target Terminator season! The Terminators will start shooting with the Beaver Dam SE Zone shoot this Father’s Day weekend. After which they will be back at BCC on the 28th of June for the 16 yrd singles AIM on line zone shoot. Then in a couple weeks following head to the WTA homegrounds and the AIM state shoot. For those not informed as of yet the AIM Nationals is in Linn Creek Missouri this year as Sparta Ill. Was shutdown for C-19 concerns, Terminators
will shoot Aug 2-4 starting the 5th the Grand American Event takes place.
As you can see the club is heating up for the summer months so stop out and enjoy. In closing I want to thank all that have supported and aided in the opening of the club once again. Remember this is your club and the only way we survive is with your help. Look forward to many more happy days ahead.  Until then stay safe and enjoy your club! 

See you on the line,
Gary Witzke- President

Governor's Order Regarding Face Coverings

The BCC will be following the Governor's order which requires individuals age five and older to wear a face covering indoors or in an enclosed space. We respectfully ask that this be followed while you enter the Club or sign up building. We ask that you wear a face covering while outside if social distancing cannot be maintained. Most importantly, we ask that you be respectful of others and refrain from passing judgment or making comments to those who will or will not wear a face covering. Whatever your beliefs are, we are all one club & one community and we should keep the health and safety of everyone in our best interests. Together, we will get through this minor inconvenience. Thank you.
