Our interclub season concluded this past Sunday . Ottervalley held second place . Our very own John Konigshofer was high overall shooter for the season , way to go John .

The awards banquet that was scheduled for April 18th has been cancelled for the time being . Hopefully we can reschedule when things have settled down but it seems the responsible thing to do at this time is cancel .

On March 1st we had our second last Southern Counties Winter Interclub held at The Crumlin Sportsman Association.

We thought the blue sky was going to come out and keep us warm, but a cold south wind picked up to make the targets dance and keep us on our toes.

Holding an event with this many shooters is no easy task but The Crumlin Trap Section did an amazing job making the event run smoothly.

It was a nail biting shoot this time; the scores were very close.  Only a 3 target spread between first and fourth place.

John Konigshofer was the high shooter for Otter Valley with a perfect 50 !!    John would not settle for chipping targets today.  Every target was centered and hit hard.  Nice shooting John !!

Below are the club scores:

Otter Valley & Glencoe tied = 224 = 4.5 points

Verscholye = 223 = 3 points

Crumlin = 222 = 2 points

St Thomas = 221 = 1 points

The High Daily shooter was Jim Wood with a 47.

Thank you to all the volunteers who made this event run smoothly.

We hope to see you Sunday, March 15th at The St. Thomas Gun Club for our final Southern Counties Winter Interclub.

Today was another Southern Counties Winter Interclub Event held at the renown St. Thomas Gun Club.  The St. Thomas Gun Club holds many large events each year so we were all excited to take our turn at these wonderfully displayed targets.

Over the course of the day we experienced cloud cover, light snow, periods of sunshine, and blistering cold wind.

We even ended the day with a shoot off.  Both John Konigshofer and Joe Soos turned in a remarkable 48.

We were all on the edge of our seats as they went toe to toe until it was finally determined that OVRG’s very own John Konigshofer was the High Daily Shooter for the event.   Congratulations John !!!

We want to wish you all a Happy New Year as we look forward to all the fun events in 2020.
