Hello Fellow Shooters and Happy New Year!
The Boerne Field Target Club will be braving the temps and wind this month! Bundle up! But first, ALL SHOOTERS MUST COMPLETE A 2024 WAIVER PRIOR TO SHOOTING AT THE BSC! No ticket, no laundry. Forms will be available at the next match. At the end of this announcement I have included a general letter sent to the BSC’s membership but also addressed to all. It brings some very exciting announcements about airgun competitions at The Boerne Shooting Club. The Field Target match announcements for the Boerne Field Target Club will now include the overall airgun schedule for the Boerne Shooting Club, as there are numerous disciplines now offered, such as the N50 Benchrest. Be sure to check the schedule!
BOERNE FIELD TARGET CLUB JANUARY 2024
Location: 33 Shooting Club Road Boerne TX 78006
Date: Saturday, January 20th, 2024
Time: Gates open at 8:00 am
9:00 am - 48 shot* Rifle match Starts following MD meeting
12:30pm - 48 shot* Pistol Match Starts
*see notes and news
Entry Fees are $10 per shooter, per match
Snacks and water and air will be available.
New shooters and first time visitors shoot for free!
No shooting will be allowed on the 25, 50 or 100 yd range while a FT match is in
progress. Signage will be clearly posted on the sight in range.
As always, a few Club notes and news…
Jan-March will be a 48 shot match for both rifle and pistol. I will be closing 2 lanes at a time to conduct some long anticipated maintenance and new shot placements. After attempting a few times this past year, I decided to limit the next few months to 48 shots
while I moderately overhaul two lanes at a time. While the math makes that 5 months, it wont take that long, I anticipate by April at the latest all will be done. In the end the plan is to at least double our target locations, extend some lanes to 55 yds, install tree stands and have the newest wood carved lane markers and directional signs installed.
In addition, the more ‘seasoned’ targets are also slated to be repaired and/or replaced.
One match this coming spring may be using all the S&S Custom Targets from TFT, of course tuned down for AAFTA ( cuz they can do that!). Just a heads up if y’all are getting used to the yellow we are growing to love! This would be because paint stripping and prepping is easiest done in continuum, not aggregately.
Tenacious Airguns, one of our kindest sponsors, has graciously donated the famed Cricket 2 Tactical to the club for shooters to experience how an Eastern Bloc bullpup can perform in FT. I’ve been truly blessed to have been shooting with it recently and can say it will not be easy to part with even for a single shot! Anyone interested in shooting with it is welcomed to do so! The epitome of Eastern Bloc, Tenaciously tuned for FT.
Derrick, you have our deepest of gratitudes.
So as we saddle up for an exciting new year of FT in both rifle and pistol, don’t forget that airguns are alive in Texas! 2024 brings in N50 benchrest, 100yd Benchrest, more venues set up to shoot Texas Field Target and the Luftgewehr Schützenverein! Keep your eyes up and your pellets sorted!
See you on the lanes!
-Shepard Myers, Match Director
