Previously known as the Deer Shoot, this is an annual event that dates back to the very early years of DBCL’s existence.  The public is invited to either have one of our Rifleman sight-in their firearms, or to use the range themselves with the assistance our members.

For decades, as another deer season approached, hunters have made their way to the Daniel Boone Conservation League to prepare their firearms, sharpen their shooting skills, and gather with fellow sportsmen and women. What began many years ago as a practical service to hunters has grown into a treasured tradition that continues to welcome both the public and members.

Today, visitors can bring their firearms to the range and either have one of our experienced Riflemen sight them in or use the range themselves with assistance from our knowledgeable members. Our Running Deer and Stationary Targets also provide hunters with an opportunity to practice and improve their shooting skills before heading into the field.

But the Deer Shoot has always been about more than preparing a firearm. It represents the values that have helped define the Daniel Boone Conservation League throughout its history - responsible sportsmanship, safe participation in the shooting sports, conservation, fellowship, and service to the community.

The clubhouse is an important part of the tradition as well. Throughout the weekend, visitors can enjoy lunch, snacks, warm beverages, and desserts while spending time with members and fellow hunters. Raffle prizes add to the excitement and help make the Deer Shoot a memorable part of the season for everyone who attends.

The event also plays an important role in supporting the Club. Proceeds from the Deer Shoot help the Daniel Boone Conservation League maintain and improve its property and facilities while continuing its longstanding commitment to conservation and outdoor recreation.

Perhaps most importantly, the Deer Shoot provides an opportunity for DBCL members to give back to the community. Helping hunters properly prepare their firearms and develop their shooting skills promotes safe and responsible hunting and contributes to a more ethical hunt.

From one generation to the next, the Deer Shoot has remained a familiar sign that Wisconsin's deer season is just around the corner. It is a tradition built on preparation, camaraderie, and a shared respect for the outdoors - a tradition that reflects the history and values of the Daniel Boone Conservation League and one we are proud to continue for generations to come.
