NewThe club house, with a vote at the annual meeting, is now smoke free.
NewWednesday Nights in November and December will include a light fare for dinners along with shooting. Dinners will vary from week to week but will include some of the following: Hearty soups, chili, hotdogs, burgers, spaghetti etc. So if you are rushing around trying to get dinner and time to shoot, you can accomplish both by just heading out to the club. Hope to see you there! You know our kitchen motto "If you can't shoot good, you can at least eat good!
New Saginaw vs. Bay County Winter League will be starting up in 2010. This is the second year for this event, which was very popular last year. Shooting is done at each club. Wednesdays, one week is at Bay County, with Thursday of the next week at Saginaw. Shirts and a steak dinner were included in last years event. It is open to all ages and abilities. Not every week has to be shot. Last year's event was based on a point system for who was shooting each night. The club with the most points get the trophy which stays at the winning club for the year. This years event may include points for trap, skeet and sporting clays, thus opening it up to more shooters. Last year was based on just skeet. A kick off/registration day for each club will be held in early December. Call or watch for more details on time and dates.
New Wednesday Night Steak & Break nights will start up in early January. These nights are very popular! You get a great, freshly grilled steak along with all the side dishes, dessert Plus 2 rounds of skeet, trap or 5 stand for a really great price. What better way to enjoy the shooting sports in the middle of winter, mid week??!! Start up date will posted at the club and on the web site.
New This winter, we will start using only the Sporting clays course to the south of the club, starting by the high tower. It will be closer to get to, easier to maintain and still be automated. The other course, the one to the east of the skeet field, will be closed till early spring when the weather warms up a bit.
New Club jackets: A few people are interested in getting a jacket with the club logo on it. An order will be placed shortly. Please contact Sue at mizblu3@tds.net or leave your information with Doug, the club manager, and we will add it to the order.
NewSome tentative events to unfold in Winter of 2010:
* CCW and HUNTER SAFETY COURSE: date are being set up for the 2010 year. Contact Six Shooters web site or Mike Shafer at MLShafer@Prodigy.net.
* Winter specials on 5 Stand shooting
* Sporting Clays Fun Shoots - One Sunday a month, perhaps starting in January. We had these last year and they were based on lewis class scoring, so every one had a chance at placing and possibly getting a shirt or a round certificate. Come join the fun!!
New The Club has purchased two golf carts for use on our sporting clays course. They are available for members and guests at a rental price of $10.00 per cart. If you have a group going out to shoot, split the cost and make your round more enjoyable by hauling your guns and ammo with ease and allowing for a faster return to the club to talk about all those shots you crushed... or should have.
New Please take note for a few fee price changes. Member sporting clays now $12.00, Guest sporting clays now $15.00. Juniors stay the same.
New Trap field update. We have not forgotten about our two trap fields. One field now boosts a new voice activated release system. You no longer need a whole squad of shooters or a puller. You simply sign up and go on out! When you call for your targets, your birds are thrown... it is that easy! If you love the game and hated to wait on others, now is the time to come on back and give it a try! We've received lots of good compliments from those who have shot it.
New2009/2010 Dues are payable any time now. Members should have received the paper work in the mail. Please make payment payable to Bay County Conservation and Gun Club. Payment can be made in person at the club or via the envelope enclosed with the dues notice.
What is Traveling Skeet?? We now have a page dedicated to this new event. Please click HERE for all the details!
As of November 1st - 5 Stand is up and running. Within the next week or two, each shooting stations will have a roof and side protection or restrictions in place. This will make for safer and drier shooting in all types of situations or conditions.
