BCSA (Binghamton, NY) - June 14th, 2025 Match Report
Broome County Sportsmens Association (BCSA) Field Target Match Report
2025 continues to impress with every single weekend this year having some kind of precipitation! The long range forecast for match day was showing….what else….RAIN! A few days before the match the forecast changed and it looked slightly better plus Brian VanLiew said it wasn’t gonna rain so it was match on! Well….match day arrived and the weather on the drive to the range looked like we’d be a bit wet!! Luckily, we only had a slight light drizzle through sight-in and not much else. Thanks to Brian and Mother Nature!
Despite the less than pleasant forecast, we had 15 people on hand for this match. The days itinerary was a 60 shot rifle match followed by a 44 shot High Power field target match. Chuck Senkus was able to attend this months match and brought along some Tastycake cupcakes and sweet tea!!! It was a nice little sugar break in between the matches! Thanks, Chuck! Nathan and Glenn Thomas were also both able to make it and spend the day with us. Welcome back all!
The course of fire for the rifle match was 10 lanes with 3 targets per lane. 2 shots per target with the shooting order being left, middle, right. There was also the usual 1 standing lane and 1 kneeling lane. The stats for the 60 shot course are as follows:
We had one unruly target, another Stoutenberg dove fails to fall with clean hits. That will be put out to pasture with the other for a bit while a remedy can be determined!
Brian Van Liew rockin a new to him Steyr LG110 was high score for the day with a 55 in Open PCP! Next highest score was a 49 which was achieved by 3 individuals, Rick Vaeth in Open PCP, Doug Rogers and Paul Manktelow in Hunter PCP. Karen Reis and myself both had 48’s in Hunter PCP. The rest of the pack followed behind and all the scores can be seen below. Oh...and Nathan Thomas opted to use his Crosman 1720T pistol to shoot Hunter PCP with and ended up with a 35 in the process,
After the conclusion of the rifle match, while the scores were tallied, everyone jumped in and helped pick up and pack away the rifle targets and pull the strings for the High Power targets. As always, Thank You All, all the help is greatly appreciated!
High Power Field Target Time!
The course of fire was 6 lanes. 5 lanes with 4 targets per lane an a standing lane with 2 targets. The course stats were as follows.
6 people participated this time around with their Big rifles.
Unfortunately there was one quick cold line. One of the strings got stuck in a branch above the target. A quick walk out and all was well.
After the match was completed, everyone jumped in and we made quick work packing away all the targets! As always, all the help is GREATLY GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you all that braved the grave forecast and came out for the day! We greatly appreciate you taking the time to spend the day with us at BCSA!
