AVENAL GUN CLUB
BPCRS Match Results
March 14, 2009

 

The March BPCR Silhouette match hosted 23 shooters. A great time was had by all as usual. It just doesn’t get any better than springtime in Avenal. Actually, it doesn’t get any better than BPCR Silhouette in Avenal anytime.

 

Congratulations to Jeanette Rogers for being Match Winner. She turned in a great score of 27 including 10 turkeys. Very nice shooting Jeanette! You’ve come a long way in a very short time.

 

AAA irons was a close one with only 1 target separating Bob Goodner, Chris Rogers, and Jim Lindsey. AA and A irons were also hotly contested with the winner not being decided until the last shot was taken in each class.

 

We only had four scope shooters this month. Steve Stewart and Rich Davis battled it out for Scope Match winner with Steve taking it with a 26 and Rich right behind him with a 25. (Ask Rich about his perfect score of 250 at the Schuetzen Match!)

 

Range Work Day:  Friday April, 10th before our monthly Saturday match we plan to have a work day at the range. No major projects are planned (except for me on the backhoe in back of the chicken firing line). We do need to clean up the berms (bring a rake), repair some sighters (can you weld or use a torch?), and attend to a few other details. We are planning another work day for Friday May 8th, again the day before our monthly Saturday match. This will be our last chance to get things in order for the State Championship BPCR Silhouette Match.

 

If you can join us Friday night before the match make sure and try our indoor 22 gallery shoots. They’re more fun than should be allowed by law. Any 22 rim-fire rifle and any sights are acceptable. Come and see what it’s all about.

 

Don’t forget to send in your pre-registration forms and fees for the California State BPCR Silhouette Championship Match to be held at Avenal. We have room for a maximum of 60 shooters and are already receiving a lot of entries.

 

The Almond Tree RV Park is nearby and offers a discount to anyone who mentions the “Gun Club”. Some of our regular shooters stay there and say it’s very nice and quite affordable. The RV park can be reached by calling

 (559) 935-0711.

 

Our next match will be April 11th. Drive out to Avenal for an enjoyable experience that goes beyond the shooting. Hope to see you there!
