How We Started
1946 heralded the beginning of the Koppel - Big Beaver Sportsmen’s Association.  Without any property, a group of twenty men who believed in sportsmanship joined forces and held their first meeting at the Koppel Borough Building.  In 1951 Koppel- Big Beaver Sportsmen’s Association purchased 60 acres and decided that the first project of the club would be to build a corncrib to hold the PA Game Commission grown corn.  The corn was intended for the feeding of wild game.  Shortly after, the Association built a range and clubhouse.   Currently, the Association owns 312 acres, featuring the original clubhouse with a newly remodeled kitchen, picnic shelter and garage.  The “old corn crib” is still on the property.


Enjoy The Ranges
The Koppel Big-Beaver Sportsmen’s Association boasts four ranges.  The main range located outdoors is two hundred fifty yards with a thirty-five foot back stop.  One additional specialty ranges allow our members to participate in turkey shoot competitions and Ladies Practical Shooting Practice .  The indoor range located in our fully air conditioned clubhouse, is fifty foot and allows members and guests to enjoy target shooting (Indoor range, 9mm maximum, no jackets, no magnums).  Currently under construction is a new trap range; we invite new members to come try their hand at “trap shooting

Febuary Update

 Good Morning everyone!  As most of you know last week was the monthly meeting however we did not have a regular membership meeting. The officers got together and conducted the meeting due to COVID. Here is what has been going on at the club. KBBSA bought 41 acres. The cemetery was given to KBBSA by the Orthodox Diocese. A plot plan was sent to us.  KBBSA are on the list to have a contractor build our building for our range filters.  KBBSA joined the PFSC KBBSA will not be having spring turkey shoots and hopes that we will be having them in he fall.  There was a change in directors due to a passing.   Even though our website and Facebook has been quite please make sure to check those along with your email for any updates on meetings.  I have been flooded with new membership emails, with in those emails I am almost 100% certain I have missed a non new member email. I am asking everyone to please be patient while I sort threw all of these emails...
