/New this year: We have purchased some steel targets that hang from a rack and can be set up independently of range and distance. We have 4”, 6”, and 8” size targets which ring like a gong when hit.

Read MoreSome 90+ people came out for the Wintergreen Sporting Club’s 2022 annual meeting on November 4th.
Membership continues to grow. Treasurer Jerry Gress reported there were 295 paid members of the club, six months earlier the club had 238 members. There are about 590 subscribers to the club’s free-to-everyone emails. Gress has agreed to serve as treasurer for another year.
In brief,...
The archery group's lead, Mike Capps, said 2022 was their most active year ever. See his report here.
The biking group also had a very active year, with 17 rides over 26 weeks. Tim Jordan, the biking group lead, said he noted that more riders turn out when dining is part of the ride.
Water levels again kept the boating group from getting on the rivers more often than they would like, said interim lead Ron Cote. The two trips that were held in 2022 filled all of the outfitters' allowed spaces.
Fishing has four co-leads–Chris Corish, Ron Cote, Marty Echols, and Jerry Gress. The group's fly fishing classes were again a big hit this year, as were the fishing conclaves, which Chris Corish called "rolling cocktail parties." The fishing group's management of the trout pond, which includes a stocking in the spring and fall both now along with feeding the stocked fish, is going well. There were three fishing tournaments this year–spring, early summer, and a fall bass tournament.
Shooting has two sub-groups--shotgun, and rifle & pistol. Jerry Gress leads the shotgun group with weekly shoots on Fridays which has about seven men and women regulars. Anyone wanting to try it will be welcome. The rifle and pistol group lead is Jim White, shooting almost every Monday morning at Rivanna Rifle and Pistol Club.
The WSC social committee’s fall dinner at Tuckahoe Clubhouse was well received. In addition to the fall and spring dinners that this group manages, in 2022 the WSC Social Group held its first summer social on Sunday, June 26 at Tuckahoe Clubhouse.
