Slider Competition

There are three rounds to this competition. For the slider competitions, we elect team captains each year from the attending participants. The captains keep the team together and hold practice sessions, and foster development of their team's skills for the next competition. This competition is for iron site sliders only, no wheel guns; it is between semi-auto pistols of either 9mm or 45acp. This is to reenact the US armed forces trials that chose the 9mm in 1985 (a quarter of a century ago) and dropped the 45acp. This is a team sport and the winning team will be issued tee-shirts, while supplies last. There will be three Slider Competitions this year and winners may have to give up their tee shirts to the other team if they lose the second or third competition. Shooting is done at 50 foot at a NRA B-3 target.

Spring Ladies Tea & Targets

This is a shoot for the Ladies on the first Sunday after Mothers day. The ladies can shoot the handgun of their choice or rifles in 22lr caliber. Pistol competition will be on the 50 ft range with 22lr rifle competition on the 50-yard range. For Pistols almost anything goes sliders and wheel guns any caliber below the 500S&W, scoped or iron sights. (Please let the Pistol Officer know if you plan on shooting black powder pistols). For Riles, only 22lr caliber is allowed scoped or iron sights. Less than 50 rounds of ammo should be needed. Bring your favorite shooting glasses and ear protection. Targets will be provided. After the shoot, the club guys serve English High Tea at the DAV. BRGC will also offer firearms assistance for the ladies that would like the help. If you have a gun you almost never shoot and you could use some help with it, this is the shoot for you. If you are experts and like Tea, this is the shoot for you. So ladies please come out and have some fun and be served English High Tea by your club guys after your exciting shooting match. The 2009 Tea and Targets was feature in the March 2009 edition of NRA Shooting Sports USA. The 2011 Tea and Targets event was featured on a WUSA9 newscast.
