John was a founding member of our club and passed the traditions of traditional muzzleloading to his grandchildren. Some of us will remember the days when John would spend hours over the campfire cooking traditional meals for the camp.
He has had a big impact on the club and will be greatly missed.

John A. Boyer, 97, formerly of Columbia, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Friday, May 2, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was the husband of the late Arlene M. Boyer, who passed away in September of 2011. He was born in Quentin, son of the late Clayton P. and Frede

On Wednesday, December 14, the Gunsmith Shop at Old Bedford Village was broken into. Sadly, all 6 of our original Bedford County Longrifles were taken from the building. Several members of our staff are willing to contribute to a reward for information leading to an arrest. If you or anyone you know has information that could help locate these suspects, please contact the PA State Police in Bedford at (814) 623-6133. Please share this post to get the word out to as many people as we can!

If you would like to contribute to the reward fund, please e-mail us at [email protected] or call us at 814-623-1156.

It is our sincere hope that these wonderful antiques and pieces of our Bedford County heritage will once again be in our possession.

And if this information happens to find the person who committed this act, we implore you to do the right thing. Please either contact us to return the rifles or the state police to turn yourself in.
