This past Sunday Otter Valley Rod & Gun Club held a Sporting Clay event and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. The blue skies, light cloud cover, and minimal wind made for perfect conditions to enjoy our ten station Sporting Clay Course.
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 !!!
