Buckhorn Birthday Bash 2/23/2020

What a beautiful day for shooting! We had the Birthday Bash at Buckhorn today and we're all very certain that Morris Carroll sent us this day of sunshine and blue skies (Feb 23 is Morris' birthday). Also, James and I each turned a year older (I believe I'm carrying it a little better than he is :lol...

Buckhorn 1/26/2020

Nice day for shooting. Blue skies, tolerable temps and a healthy breeze that kept everyone on their toes in all events. We had a larger crowd than expected with 26 for singles, 23 for caps and 14 cranked it up for the doubles. We again delayed the start to clear the shadows off of field one, only ma...

Buckhorn Jan 1, 2020

What better way can there be to start a new year than by shooting. In our case, registered targets at Buckhorn Gun Club in Mebane, NC. Too bad the 60* weather didn't stick around for one more day, what we did have was tolerable. The day started out with frost on the windshield at home, but was upper...

Buckhorn 12/8/2019

Brrrrrrrrrr dammit! 27* this morning as we pulled into the parking lot around 8:30ish. A larger than anticipated crowd showed up. Among the last to arrive was the Boone contingent. They were led in the door by Randy Jones wearing his legs outside of his pants...........yes he had shorts on...... As ...

Buckhorn Toys for Tots 11/10/2019

What a great day for doing anything outside, especially shooting related. After the frost burned off the temps went from just right to perfect! A good crowd overflowed the parking lot today at BGC as we put another Toys-for-Tots in the books. There was a couch and a half of shiny new gizmos and dood...

BGC 10/20/2019

Windy, chilly, drizzly. That's what we got to play in today. We had 12 shooters for singles, 14 for handicap and 7 of us had at the twins. The prevailing wind was in from behind us for the most part, flattening out the targets then there were those that for no apparent reason tried to climb over the...

BGC Labor Day Weekend Shoot - Day3

We wrapped up the beginning of the new target year today in nearly perfect conditions. It got a little toasty out there and the humidity seemed "elevated". I wasn't able to get to the club in time for the singles due to a prior commitment. Got things taken care of and loaded Ms. Mary and a...

BGC Labor Day Weekend Shoot Day 2

That was a lot of targets. 13,800 count for today! This old fat boy skipped the singles to be able to take a whack at all 500 doubles. There were several that did shoot all 600 today, bless their pea pickin' little hearts......! Today was well attended with 26 shooting the singles, 29 for the 1st 10...

BGC Labor Day Weekend Shoot - Day 1

Saturday August 31. Near perfect conditions for shooting today. Clear blue skies with ample sunshine that really lit up the white flyers. That's one excuse down. Temperatures started off in the upper 60s when shooting began. That's two excuses gone. Targets were set as good as they always are at Buc...

Buckhorn 8/4/2019

Hot, humid and nasty. Those were the conditions for shooters at BCG today. Dunno what the actual high was temp wise but the humidity was thick, real thick. Good crowd of shooters showed up. There were a couple of brand new Jrs shooting their very first registered targets. It's always a great thing w...

Buckhorn June 23, 2019

Rare June day in NC for sure, a high of 79, minimal breeze and light overcast. The humidity did kick in mid afternoon but it was tolerable. Decent crowd showed, many I'm sure getting some fine tuning (or major overhaul) in preparation for the Southern Zone coming up about a month from now. We had 22...

Buckhorn May 11 and 12 2019

BGC hosted two days of shooting over Mother's Day weekend. Pretty good crowd on Saturday and a few hardy souls on Sunday. The weatherman didn't cooperate much with damp, humid conditions both days. The only thing that kept it bearable was that the temps didn't get past the upper 70s. Target visibili...

Buckhorn April 14, 2019

Whew! Got that one in right under the wire! The weather man got one right for a change - forecast cloudy with the rain to start 3:00ish Sunday afternoon. The last pair of doubles was broken at 2:10 and the rain was washing the pollen off the vehicles in the parking lot at 2:30......... Karole got he...
