21st Annual Vet Shoot Call for Volunteers (25 Sep 2026)

21st Annual Vet Shoot

September 25th, 2026

This year we'll celebrate our 21st year welcoming America's veterans from the Brockton VA Medical Center to Bass River Rod & Gun Club for a day of rifle and shotgun shooting, a fabulous barbecue, and boundless gratitude for sacrifices made.

Each year the club turns out as many as 50 volunteers to help with the Vets, many of whom are from the Spinal Cord Injury Unit. The Vets benefit tremendously from a day with our members as they experience one of the few times they are outside hospital grounds.

You do not need skills to volunteer for general help, but both the rifle and shotgun range do need skilled shooters (RSO’s, RO’s, SO’s) who know their way around a firing line and firearms setup from a benched and standing shooting position.

We already have some donated ammunition in-house and ready to go, but we need more - and firearms still need to be loaned for the day –

Rifles - AR’s in 5.56 - .223 - .22LR
Shotguns -12 GA. Semi-Auto.
Ammo - .22LR and .223

We've provided an incredible barbecue over the years - so expect the same terrific spread in 2026.

Volunteers who like to sit, eat and chat with Vets during lunch are highly prized by the VA staff because they know these encounters with the Vets are priceless.
