Otter Valley Rod and Gun Club

Today, Dec 15th, was the third Southern Counties Winter Interclub at Otter Valley Rod and Gun Club.   We had home field advantage today and that seemed to work to our benefit despite the weather conditions.  We started out the day with heavy snow fall and windy conditions.  Eventually the weather cleared and we were all very happy to see the sun shine and blue sky.

A big congratulations to John Konishofer and Ken Allan who were high gun for Otter Valley.  Both shooters shoot a 46 in almost white out conditions.  We were all amazed to watch these shooters make graceful moves on targets in such fierce weather conditions.

Below are today’s club scores:

Otter Valley = 226 = 5 points = Currently 2nd place overall

Glencoe = 224 = 4 points = Currently 1st place overall

Verscholye = 222 = 3 points = Currently 5th place overall

Crumlin = 221 = 2 points = Currently 4th place overall

St Thomas = 220 = 1 points = Currently 3rd place overall

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

Today, Dec 1st, was the second Southern Counties Winter Interclub at the Glencoe Sportsman Club.  We woke up to wet, cold, and windy weather conditions but that didn’t stop these trap shooters.  Trap shooters are known to be fearless and resilient….

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!!!!!!!
