Otter Valley Rod and Gun Club

Thank you to everyone who attended our Nov 17th Sporting Clay event.

The targets were very visible with the white snowy background; and the shooting conditions were excellent with the bright warm sun and minimal breeze.

We hope to see you all back for our Boxing Day Shoot on December 26th. We will post more details about the event as the date gets closer.

There will be Trap shooting, Buddy shoots, Annie Oakley shoots, a Warm Lunch, and Sporting Clays !!!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our 2019 Club Trap Championship.

There is no better way to spend a beautiful autumn day then laughing and telling stories with friends around the trap field.

The beautiful weather and minimal wind led to some very high scores.

We want to say congratulations to all the winners.

High Overall Club Champion :  Rick Marlatt (with a very impressive 96/100)

High 16 Yard Champion : Bob Morphy

High Handicap Champion : Charlie Cadman

Thank you to all the shooters and all the volunteers for a super fun day.

Special Thanks to Bud.  He is not only a excellent Trap Shooter, but a mighty fine cook as well.

Thank you to everyone who came out for our October 6th Sporting Clay Event.

There were a few brief rain showers but that didn’t seem to stop people from coming out and enjoying the outdoors.

We wanted to say congratulations to the CWTF Sporting Clay Giveaway Winners.

We hope that everyone who came out enjoyed the course and the time spent in the outdoors with family and friends.

Our next Sporting Clay event is October 6th. We hope to see you there !

Wednesday, August 28 2019 was our final Summer Interclub.  It was hosted by the Oxford Sportsman Club.  The wind was blowing, and the targets were dancing in the wind, but that didn’t seem to bother some shooters.  Bill Chilton won high gun with a 47.

The Oxford Sportsman Club won the final shoot with a score of 236 to Otter Valley’s 229.  After the event was done we all enjoyed a wonderful BBQ and corn roast.  A big thank you to the volunteers who helped for prepare the meal.  It was delicious.

As we were enjoying the meal our team of analysis’s went to work calculating the final overall winners for the 2019 Summer Interclub Event.  The data was analyzed and then it was announced…..

Otter Valley Rod & Gun Club had won the 2019 Summer Interclub!!!

Way to go Team!!!!!!!

We want to thank both clubs and all the volunteers for hosting and running these events.

A special thank you to Bob Vanbelois for organizing the event.  Well done Bob!

With archery season just around the corner we have placed a few 3D archery targets out for members to practice with.

They are located west of the club house.  So sign in.  Then drive to the club house and park.  The targets are located to your right if you are facing the club house.  Just follow the hydro lines.

These targets are for archery equipment only.  Field / target tips only.  No broad heads.

Enjoy !!!

Thank you to everyone who came out for our August 11th Sporting Clays Event.
