The BSPSC will host a USPSA Level 1 Range Officer clinic on April 21 & 22, 2012 at the Deer Creek Shooting Center classroom in the clubhouse at the West end of the range.  The instructor will be Troy McManus.  If you are interested in participating, contact Paul This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  for costs and further details.  I highly recommend that everyone become a certified RO even if you never intend to work a match as a range official.  It will help you understand the rules better and give you a different perspective on the sport.  Of course we hope that you will step up and help out at the matches by running shooters and keeping score, but we also want all of our shooters to be well informed and educated about all aspects of USPSA competition.  If you come out to help set up the matches, the RO clinic will give you invaluable information about how a course of fire should be designed for safety and compliance with the rules. 

Paul and Gary have put together an article that covers the basics of getting started in practical shooting with the BSPSC.  I have put a link in the "For More Information" module in the left hand column of the website. This article will help new shooters understand what equipment is required and how to get involved with the club.  Each year we try to reach out to as many new shooters as possible, and this is another way that we can answer some of the common questions that arise.

I have posted the dates for our 2012 season on the "Match Dates" page.  It looks like we will have another busy year of events.  We hope you can all come out and join us for some of the best competitive shooting opportunities around!

The BSPSC 2011 shooting season has come to a close with the October 2nd concealed carry match.  I stopped by briefly and everyone was having a good time shooting and enjoying the fine weather.  The club will soon be planning events for the 2012 season, so submit your stage designs and keep your gear tuned up over the winter months.  I will try to keep posting info to the website to keep everyone updated on current club happenings. Thank you to everyone who helped produce this years matches, especially those diehard regulars who shoulder most of the work.  This is a small, dedicated cadre of folks who work tirelessly to make sure we have quality matches to attend and they never fail to deliver.  It is hard to properly thank these people here in a few words, so when you see one of them be sure to extend your hand, look them in the eye and say "THANK YOU!"
