Week 1
The day started off gloomy with some showers but by match time the sun was out and a cool breeze was drifting through the range - all in all, good conditions for our first smallbore silhouette shoot of the season. It was great to see so many new faces on the line, including junior shooter Mitchell C., a sure sign that silhouette shooting is alive and well in the Twin Tiers - Welcome aboard folks! The newly expanded range functioned well as we comfortably fit 16 shooters on the line and cycled through a total of 18 shooters over 2 rounds. Ed P. got on target during practice by making some adjustments to his scope with a hatchet and Charles M. broke out his vintage Anschutz that pops like a bottle of bubbly with each shot.
As for the match, everything went well and we all had a good time. In round 1, Jim C. pegged 8 piggies and Jim M. went for the wide-bodies with 9's on the pigs and rams. Ron C. proved it’s quality over quantity as the one turkey he plucked turned out to be a gold. In round 2, Jim M. went for porcine perfection with 10 pigs and Ed P. made good with his “Lizzy Borden” scope adjustments as he nailed 8 porkers. Jim F. and Bob J. both went 8-8 on chickens and pigs and Ken J. banged-up 8 rams. We wrapped things up with a raffle for a free dozen bagels from Nezuntoz Café. Jim F. picked up where he left off last season as he had the winning ticket but as a previous raffle winner he generously called for a redraw so someone else could win the prize. Another ticket was chosen and the winner was Jason F. - Enjoy, Jason!

Week 2
We had cloudy, cool, and breezy conditions with a few brief showers thrown in for good measure for our second smallbore silhouette shoot of the season. I guess one good thing about the gloomy conditions was that it kept the bugs away. In any event, we still had a good turnout with 17 shooters on the line over 2 rounds. Before the match, weighmaster Pete K. and his trusty scale helped Greg S. shave some weight from his air rifle - nothing a sawzall can't fix, Greg.
In round 1, Pete K. whacked 9 chickens with Jason F. and Rob S. close behind with 8's. The poultry parade continued as Bob J. and Erik S. celebrated a silhouette thanksgiving with 7 turkeys each. Jim F. and Neal S. both had 8 pigs and Rob S. put his offseason air rifle training to good use by pounding 10 pigs - nice shooting, Rob!
In round 2, Neal S. used his new bionic eye to get 8's on the chickens and pigs and a 7 on the rams for a second round total of 29 - nice going, Neal! Jim F. went 8-7 on the chickens and turkeys, Pete K. had 7 rams, Ron C. and Bob J. both had 7 pigs while Paul C. had 8. However, Prince of Pork Rob S. went 19/20 on the pigs overall and had rounds of 29 and 28 - good going, Rob!
We capped things off with a raffle for a gift certificate from Phil's Chicken House. Pat S. pulled the ticket from the can and the winner was...Brian S. - enjoy, Brian!

Week 3
Well we finally had good weather with sunny skies, mild temperatures, and a bit of a breeze for our third shoot of the season. Turnout was good as we cycled 18 shooters through 2 relays over 2 rounds. Wayne C., Bill T., and Mr. Chong all made their first trip out to the range this season - welcome back guys! Pete K. was having a “scratch and dent sale” on some of his used silhouettes while Greg S. was still checking the weight on his T/C air rifle.
In round 1, Bob J. whacked 7 rams, Jim F. pounded 9 pigs, and then it was crazy 8's as Pete K. and Jim C. plucked 8 chickens and Jim M. and Jim C. pegged 8 pigs. Relay 2 was a family affair as Ron and the boys took the line and Dan and Wayne showed a genetic predisposition to make identical hits on the animals.
In round 2, Jim M. and Ed P. popped 8 cluckers followed by Ron C. and Jim F. with 7's. The pigs took a real beating as Mr. Chong, Paul C., Ken J., Bob J., Jim M., and Bill T. all roasted 8 porkers. Jim M. and Bill T. also had 7's on the turkeys and Greg S. and Ken J. were solid on the rams with a 7 and 9, respectively. Nice shooting folks!
Our festivities concluded as we raffled off a dinner for two at Texas Roadhouse. Mr. Chong put his hits to good use as he won the raffle in absentia with a lot of congratulations from his “friends”!

Week 4
It looked ominous with lots of clouds but the weather held and we had warm and a bit sticky conditions with a slight breeze for week 4 of the smallbore silhouette season. The good conditions helped boost turnout as we cycled 19 shooters through 2 relays over 2 rounds. Neal S. was eager to try out his second bionic eye and Greg S. was showing off a new Hawke scope with the Microsoft reticle. Dave S. was eager to take some shots with his new Savage in a thumbhole laminate stock while Pete K. was sporting some new hardware he won at a cowboy shoot in PA and raving about the "luxury accommodations" he enjoyed on the trip.
In round 1 Jim F. and Erik S. whacked 8 chickens while Jim C. popped 9 piggies and Ray H., Bob J., and Neal S. had "crazy 8's" on the other white meat. Jim F. and Neal S. bagged 7 turkeys and Ray H. experienced Deja Vu with 8 rams. In round 2, Bob J. wanted an alibi since he was shooting next to Jack E. and Dave L., also known as Abbott and Costello. As for the shooting, Jim F. and Ray H. both had a date with 8 chicks while Mitch C., Jim F., and Bob J. had 7 pigs. Neal S. went for 8 porkers and Erik S. had 9 swine. Jim F. and Bob J. slammed 7 rams and Ray H. just missed an early Thanksgiving with 9 turkeys. Ron C. is proving to be a model of consistency as he posted the same score in rounds 1 and 2 for the second week in a row.
We wrapped things up with a raffle for a gift certificate to Apple Hills. Mr. Chong was on hand to collect his prize from winning last week's raffle and he decided Apple Hills would be a good place for dessert as he went back-to-back with another raffle win this week - go buy a lottery ticket Mr. C!

Week 5
We had just about ideal conditions for week 5 of BCSA Silhouette with warm but comfortable temperatures and just a bit of a breeze to stir the air. But even the best conditions can pose some challenges as was evident when the late day sun angle was tough on the eyes. The good conditions really boosted turnout as we cycled 21 shooters through 2 relays over 2 rounds. Jim C. brought along first time shooter Tom M. and I think he's hooked - welcome aboard, Tom! Katie A. also took in a little practice to shake off some off-season rust.
In round 1 it was all about the chicken as Mr. Chong, Mitch C., Paul C., and Dave M. all whacked 7 birds while Jim F. and Bob J. bagged 8 and Neal S. brought the hammer down with a perfect 10! Pigs didn't fare much better as Jim F., Ed. P., Rob S., and Neal S. bagged 7 porkers and Bob J. slammed 9 swine. Rob S. slammed the door on 7 rams and Greg S. turned in a nice round 1 total of 19. Charles M.'s rifle got bored so it decided to fire off rounds on its own. Charles decided some discipline was necessary so he gave his rifle a time-out and sent it home.
There was a mass exodus of shooters from round 1 so we were able to consolidate to 1 relay for round 2. Pete K. got tired of shooting silhouette so he just hung around for a while and shot the breeze. Bob J. ruled the roost with 9 chickens and Mitch C. was crowned Prince of Pork with 9 pigs - nice going guys! Neal S. and Bob J. both grabbed 7 gobblers while Jim F. went 8-8 on turkeys and rams for a nice round 2 score of 30.
We wrapped things up with a bonus raffle featuring a free pound of coffee from Tom's and a custom coffee mug courtesy of Diane Lia. There were many tickets given out but Dave L. proved it only takes one to win it as he claimed the prize with his only ticket - Enjoy, Dave!

Week 6
The weather was gloomy throughout the day but the clouds broke up a bit and we had ideal conditions for our shoot. The great conditions helped boots attendance as we cycled 23 shooters through 2 relays over 2 rounds. Pete K. let Fran M. borrow a rifle so he could have a taste of what silhouette is all about. Dave C. dusted off his blue beauty to join us and Paul D. made a cameo appearance.
In round 1 Rob S. completed another leg of his Grand Slam by nailing 10 chickens - nice shooting, Rob! Paul D., Jim F., Pete K., and Brian S. all popped 8 piggies but Neal S. was all over the bacon with 9. Paul D. bagged 7 turkeys and Paul C. whacked 8 rams for a nice round 1 score of 28 - way to go guys!
In round 2 Jim F. took 10 divine swine while Mr. Chong and Rob S. popped 8 heavenly hens and Rob added another 7 turkeys for good measure. We wrapped things up with a raffle for a gift certificate to Outback Steakhouse. Paul C. parlayed his strong round 1 into an arm's length of tickets and he won the prize - Enjoy, Paul!

Week 7
We were lucky again as the showers stayed away but we still had to contend with warm and humid conditions with an abundant supply of gnats. Turnout was on the light side with 16 shooters but this kept it to one relay for both rounds so things moved right along. Apparently the humid conditions made the paint on the animals quite tacky as they stuck very well to their stands. In round 1 Jocko L. nailed 9 chickens, Bob J. whacked 8 pigs, and Erik S. slammed 8 rams. In round 2 Mr. Chong, Jim F., and Erik S. all had 8 chickens while Brian S. went for 8 pigs and Jim F. popped 9 piggies. Neal S. found his groove with 8 rams and handyman Greg S. was ready to trade in his silhouette gun for a screw gun. We wrapped things up with a raffle for one dozen bagels from Nezuntoz Cafe. Ed P. made his gold animals pay off as he found himself in possession of the winning ticket - Enjoy, Ed!

Smallbore Cowboy
Saturday: April 19 May 17 June 21 July 19 August 16 September 20
Our sponsor of the week: Michelangelo’s Ristorante!
The BCSA got the 2008 smallbore cowboy silhouette season underway under nearly ideal conditions - mostly sunny and summerlike warmth. I say nearly ideal because a gusty breeze kicked up during the shoot to make things a bit interesting. We have 2 full sets of animals this year so we can go with 8 per relay to help things move along. The range layout functioned well but the rotation is a bit like “musical chairs” since some firing positions are scattered to match the target spacing. Turnout was good with 15 on the line for round 1, and we welcomed 2 new shooters as Jacob S. and Corinne D. decided to try their hand at the cowboy game - welcome aboard!
Chicken and the “other white meat” were on the menu in round 1 as Dale B. and Ray H. both clocked 10 cluckers and Dale B. and Joe C. pegged 10 piggies. Ray H., Pete K., and Dave S. had 9 swine each, Josh L. had 8 turkeys, and Joe C. had 8 rams. In round 2, Dale B. continued to pound the pork with another 10 and Jim M. came oh-so-close to completing his grand slam with a run of 9 on the rams. By the end of the match many folks were looking for a “silhouette shuttle” when it came time to reset the animals.
We wrapped things up with a raffle for a free pizza from Michelangelo’s Ristorante. Tickets were awarded based on a combined 2 round total score from the chickens. Ray H. parlayed his good day on the chickens into a free pizza as he had the winning ticket - Enjoy, Ray!

Our sponsor of the week: Little Venice!
We got things started with some sunshine but the clouds rolled in and we finished with a few sprinkles and a cool breeze. Attendance was light with 11 shooters on the line so things moved along right quick. In round 1 Ray H. and Jim M. whacked 10 pigs while Jim F. and Dave S. has 9 swine apiece. Ray H. went on to add 9 rams to his total for good measure. In round 2 Jim M. continued to pound the pork with another 10 followed by Paul C. and Ray H. with 9's while Bill C. had a nice run of 8. And Jim M. was forced to keep a cork in the champagne as he came up just 1 shy of perfection on the rams, so his quest for 10 to complete his Grand Slam will continue. Sounds like an Indiana Jones movie - Jim M. and the quest for the 10th ram.
We wrapped things up with a raffle for a gift certificate from Little Venice. Gold animals made their first appearance on the cowboy range and the gold total was used to determine how many tickets were awarded to shooters. Many tickets went out but in the end it was David S. who had the winning numbers - Enjoy Dave!

Our sponsor of the week: Number 5/Lampey's!
We got underway with mild and sunny conditions for our cowboy silhouette shoot. First time silhouette shooter Dan B. joined returning veterans Butch R. and Jake S. on the line along with marathon man Dave L. who was shooting his 5th and 6th match of the day! Dale B. was pressed for time so he shot back-to-back and Paul C. was having so much fun we went back-to-back, too. The steel critters proved to be rather elusive as there were many 8's and 9's but 10's were hard to come by. In round 1 Dale B. popped 10 chickens and 10 pigs while Paul C. collected 10 pigs, his first 10 in silhouette ever - way to go, Paul! In round 2 the pigs took it on the chin as Paul C. and Jim M. nailed all 10 and "happy guy" Ray H. and Bob J. wiped out all 20 pigs in their relay! We wrapped things up with a raffle for a gift certificate to Number 5/Lampey's. And the winning ticket belonged to...Dave S. - Enjoy, Dave!

Air Rifle
Saturday: April 19 May 17 June 21 July 19 August 16 September 20
Our sponsor of the week: Tom’s Coffee, Cards, & Gifts!
The BCSA kicked off the 2008 air rifle silhouette season with ideal weather conditions - mostly sunny and mild with just a bit of a breeze. After many foul weather shoots in 2007, hopefully the excellent conditions will be an indicator of things to come! Attendance was good with 6 shooters on the line for round 1. There was a good amount of rust to shake off from the long offseason and turkeys and rams were behaving more like skunks. Pat S. and Dave L. both took different routes to a score of 15 and Greg S. took the road less traveled to a 12. Greg S. shifted gears in round 2 with a 7 on the pigs and a total of 19, but Dave L. was also right there with his own score of 19. We wrapped things up with a raffle for a free pound of coffee from Tom’s Coffee, Cards, & Gifts. With tickets awarded based on a 2 round total from the pigs, Bill C. made his hits count as he was in possession of the winning ticket - Way to go, Bill!

Our sponsor of the week: Michelangelo's Ristorante!
The timing of our early morning shoot was perfect as we enjoyed sunshine and great conditions for air rifle silhouette. We had our first outdoor shoot so folks could get an outdoor classification for our upcoming championship match in August. We still had shelter though as pop-up tent canopies were used for cover and our new convertible benches were used to provide makeshift shooting stations.
Pat S. whacked 7 pigs in round 1 while Bill C. proved to be the model of consistency as he posted identical scores in rounds 1 and 2. Greg S. "found a groove" for round 2 and posted a solid score of 21. We concluded our festivities with a raffle for a free pizza from Michelangelo's Ristorante. The 2 round total score on rams was used to distribute tickets and Pat S. made her hits count as she had the winning ticket - Enjoy, Pat!

Our sponsor of the week: Sharkey's!
It was a cool and foggy start but conditions rapidly improved and we had great weather for our morning air rifle silhouette shoot. Dave L. was shooting 2 classes so he had a long day ahead of him. Greg S. was trying to verify the settings on his Microsoft reticle and Dana B. was contemplating the dieseling of his HW - was that bio-diesel, Dana?
In round 1, the turkeys had the last laugh as they proved to be quite tough and Dave L. was starting to rethink his strategy. Things improved a bit for round 2 but all in all it was just "one of those days". We wrapped things up with a raffle for a gift certificate from Sharkey's. Tickets were distributed based on the 2 round total of chickens and Dave L. made his target rifle pay off as he parlayed his 11 chickens into a raffle win - Enjoy, Dave!
