In March, we shot Group as a runup to our BRSC Registered Spring Tuneup Shoot.  We shot Score for most of the winter, and it became clear our group skills need work!

The day started at about 1 degree and dead calm for the first 4 matches.  As the sun came up, an unusual uprange wind started up and made for some interesting conditions. 

Pete organized the targets, Art took our money and did the safety briefing and Joe called the match.  Meanwhile, Brendan stoked the stove - Much appreciated!

Congrats to Pete for his win at 100, along with some very impressive groups!

Our next match is on April 2 where we'll shoot Group again as a runup to our Spring Tuneup shoot to be held on April 29 & 30.  There are still a few places available if you wish to register!

...and this month's results - 100 Yards:



200 Yards:



...and the Grand Agg:

After cancelling the December shoot due to weather conditions, 6 hardy shooters showed up to compete in wet but relatively mild conditions.  The day started dry and calm, then turned rainy as the edge of the storm that is pummeling California appeared.   

Joe called the line, Art collected our money and Pete and Vlad ran the targets.  Thanks to all who helped. 

With mild conditions, the 100 yard was particularly close, with only 4 points separating first from last place. 

Joe took the 3-way tie at 100 while Art handily won both the 200 yard and the Grand Agg - Congratulations all. 

Next match is March 5, where we'll shoot Score.  Hope to see you all there.

Last match of the season and another day of fine weather and mild conditions - A great day to be shooting!

As usual, Paul prevailed in Benchrest while Derreck took Sporter.  For some weird reason, I managed to eclipse Paul for best target not once but twice!

Thanks to Paul for organizing the match (and the year), to Mel and Derreck for their usual accurate and efficient job of scoring and to Tim for organizing the targets. 

Next year's dates should now be posted on the club web site - https://missionrodandgun.com/events/. 

...and the results:

Your humble scribe was off in Alberta at the Alberta Provincials, so Joe produced the following report:

We had 8 shooters show up for a smoky day.  Forest fires near Hope and Stave Lake created a weird atmosphere for shooting. 

Two new shooters chose this match to join the regulars. 

Congratulations to Art for his win at 100 and to Allan for winning the 200 as well as the Grand Agg.  This was Allan's first Grand Agg win - Well done!

Thanks to Pete and Vlad for running targets and to Joe for running the match, as well as all the others who helped out. 

Next month's match is scheduled for October 23 and we'll be shooting group.  Hope to see you all there. 

...and this month's results - 100 Yards:



200 Yards:


...and the Grand Agg:

Well, Yodave's army came in from the Island ready to play, taking 2 of the top 3 spots in Benchrest.  In a score tie (rare for this discipline), Mike Pollen took the overall win, edging Paul in the tie breaker.  Great shooting Mike!

Now that Ray has left the field (maybe he'll show up next year as a part of the Army!), Derrick prevailed in Sporter class.   

This is our big event for the year, and after the awards were handed out we drew for the contents of a well stocked prize table.  Mel showed very well there, taking home the Sightron scope...  I hear he's about to do a big investment in lottery tickets!

Thanks to all our sponsors:  Hirsch Precision, Italian Sporting Goods, Reliable Gun, Yodave Products and Ray Parkin.  Do your best to return the favor and support them!

Next match is August 13, hope to see you all there. 

...and here are the results, with the Equipment List in pretty good shape.  To those I've missed, email and I'll fill in the blanks!

We're back to our normal summer date after last year's COVID-imposed shift.  We'll probably shoot the 300 yard match first to allow for shot spotting in summer conditions. 

The course of fire will be 20 Score rounds at each of 100, 200 and 300 yards.  Awards to third place at each yardage and the Jim Latham Perpetual Trophy to the winner of the Grand Agg.  If you preload, you'll need about 90 rounds to allow for sighters.

Safety meeting at 8:45, Match begins at 9:00 am sharp and we should be done by 4:00 pm or so.

$30 entry fee - No lunch provided, but the clubhouse will be open if you want to purchase lunch.

Pre registration is required, so please email us if you plan to attend.

Contact me (markdumont750@gmail.com) or Joe (joemendham@hotmail.com) to register or if you have any questions.

11 shooters faced a cool spring morning with a threat of rain.  Winds were both light and variable.       

Paul returned to his usual form to take the Benchrest class, while the husband and wife team of Ken and Cynthia Lyth managed a rare tie for second.  In the interests of domestic harmony, I won't mention that Cynthia won the tie breaker by shooting the better first target!

Derrick won the Sporter class, where we also welcomed Justin as a new shooter.  We look forward to seeing him as a regular!

Paul organized the match, took our money and called the line.  Thanks also to Mel and Derrick for scoring and to Tim for organizing targets.

Next match comes quickly on June 11, hope to see you all there.

...and here are the results:

In May, we shot Group as a runup to our Spring BRSC Registered Shoot.  All we really needed was some spring weather, but instead we got one of the wettest May days on record.  As usual, conditions started quite mild but grew in intensity as the day went on. 

With Pete away, a number of people helped to organize, run and collect the targets, thanks to all.  Also thanks to Joe for calling the match and measuring the groups.

Congrats to Joe for winning the Grand Agg as well as 100 yards and to Vlad for winning at 200. 

Next month's match BRSC Registered shoot is scheduled for Sunday, June 12, and we will welcome shooters from other clubs.  This will be a Heavy Varmint shoot at 100 and 200 yards with a practice day on June 11.  You need to be a member of BRSC to participate, memberships will be available at the shoot if needed.  Please contact me (markdumont750@gmail.com) or Joe (joemendham@hotmail.com) if you wish to register or if you need further info. 

Finally, places for the BRSC Nationals held at Mission this year July 30, 31 are almost gone, but we do have one place left due to a cancellation.  Please email me or Joe if you wish to attend.

...and the Agg:

We're back for another season!  11 brave shooters faced a skiff of snow on the ground and typical spring conditions.     

Mel took the Benchrest class, while Ray took top honors in Sporter.  Ray actually edged out Mel's score, a significant accomplishment!

Paul organized the match, took our money and called the line.  Thanks to those early risers who maintained the berm, Mel, Derek and Art for scoring and to Tim for organizing targets.

Next match is April 16, hope to see you all there.
