Way to go Ted.
All you have to do next year is shoot a record on HV 200 and set the agg record.
We will be watching.

Calvin,
Keep us up to date on the boob bag. I am having a tough time with the leather ear idea, but it used to be the normal. I did start with one, changed to cordura and liked it better.

Bill,
Making through the winter should not be a challenge for you, as you have made it thought plenty already, hell dirt is younger then you. LOL

Rob,
Not sure of what others may be using as an isolation material, but I have often thought about electrical shrink wrap (heat on style) as it comes with an adhesive built in. This would eliminate the possibility of movement from barrel to sleeve. Still the question is, will it be firm and thick enough to absorb vibrations.

For myself I have no planned projects, although I would very much like to test the tuner waters.
I will be ordering some carbide bushings for the .220 Beggs.
I still have a gain twist barrel that I would like to test.

I am very impressed with the results that the Canadians were able to achieve this year.
In the short time that I have followed or attended the Nationals, this is the best overall
placement for Canada that I can recall.
Thanks again for the updates throughout the week, many of us truly appreciate the effort.
Hope everyone had an uneventful trip home, and am looking forward to talking with you about
the event.
Once again well done all.
DanO

Way to go Rob.
Rick were you playing with the Walldog?
Thanks for the info, please keep it coming.

To those competitors that are shooting in Sept. I wish you all good luck in your endeavors.
For those that are going to the NBRSA Nationals, shoot well and have fun, keep us posted as
to events and daily results for the Canadian shooters. Hopefully some folks will be competing in
the Unlimited matches also.

Travel safely,
DanO

Mike,

I do not have enough knowledge to determine the best backer style, but one positive you have is the power source of 120 volt. That gives you many options as to the motor drive equipment, think back up motor that is easily changed out due to a failure.
With the abundance of 120 V motors and gearing available you will need to decide on what backer you desire.
If you go with a single direction system like Calgary, you need to gear it to be able to run for 10 minutes which requires a slow moving backer, but fast enough to pick up shoots fired a couple of seconds apart.
The other option here is to have reversing limits at both stop points to reverse the backer travell.
The risk is the delay in reversing causing a potential overlap of bullet holes on the backer paper.

The other system, as Bill and other have shown, is a faster moving backer that is in a continues motion due to the drive motor not having to stop and change direction. There is delay in this system at each end of the stroke as the drive cable goes from pulling to pushing. This delay is very minor, and seems to be favoured by some of the bigger ranges in the US.
I would think that the boys going to Kanas will be able to get good idea of there system and help you decide which method to use.
Just some thoughts on the systems I have seen.

DanO

Calvin, thanks for the updates.
It is good to see a turn out like that, especially considering the weather.
Congratulations to all the shooters.
DanO

Mike,

That would be good thing, time will tell if the shooter out there are interested in BRSC.
I would encourage anyone interested in getting on board, to place their name into the hat
for one of the two open positions.

DanO

Mike,

It appears that the BRSC will be buying several of these unit in the near future, you may want to tag on to that order to stay consistant with the device that will be used.
I am not sure who was in charge of getting them ordered, but the Friday night meeting minutes may have that detail.
Check with Lyle Turton as he has the note.

DanO

Rick,

If that is the venue it will make flag reading interesting, one will surely want a gun able to shoot into one hole.
Definately upscale to most venue we get to use.
