2013 Selkirk Bench Rest Shooters Provincials Aug. 17-18, 2013
« on: August 09, 2013, 09:22:41 AM »
Well gang, a week tommorrow the lead will be flying down range at the Selkirk Wildlife Range for the 2013 SBRS Provincials.  This will be the 3rd and Final Match of the year.  I look forward to seeing everyone and maybe a few more faces????????????

The format is as usual, practice on Friday if needed.  I should be there bright and early. hopefully no later than 10:00.  Approx 2:45 drive for me from home.

Hope to be shooting by no later than 9AM Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday will be LV 100 in AM and HV 100 in PM
Sunday will be HV 200 in AM and LV 200 in PM

I have not made any lunch arrangements so unless I hear different it will be fend for yourself.  The coffee will be on and maybe I will be able to muster up some treats to go along with the coffee.

Saturday evening supper we will decide on the fly.

If there are any questions PM me or send an e-mail to me at cyanchyc@mymts.net.

The wind was yesterday, and today (Sunday) we had everything else. The day started out overcast and light winds, then came the rain and a small amount of hail. Lots of thunder and lighting in our vicinity and we shot targets when we could. Finally it started to clear around noon, now we had to deal with mirage and light winds that held for most of the day. It was to say the least, an interesting week-end. I am sure you will hear more on the shoot in the next couple of days.

The conditions did not seem to bother Cal.

I just like to think I was LUCKY.  I do not know why it took me so long to figure things out with my Mr. Smiley Face......

Right now I just wish that were a new barrel.  It appears to be able to shoot and shoot through some condition.  I also have not shot loads as hot as I have the last 2 matches.  Does that have something to do with it?????  Who knows but that rifle treated me well at the Nationals, Rosebud at 200 as that was the only yardage I shot it, and this past weekend at the Provincials.  I have never shot so well at 200 yards. 

For some reason I STRUGGLE at 100 but at 200 things work.

I had groups that let me down but I did learn what NOT to do on one target.

It was tough slugging Saturday and the video does not do the actual conditions justice.  Sunday with the rain delay, guys the rain delay at Rosebud was NOTHING compared to Selkirk.  I have not seen it pour like this ever at a match.  Even the wind Saturday was the worst I have ever experienced next to Regina.  The difference with Regina it can be constant.  Here it flip flopped like your wind shield wipers.

There are people though who have really helped in things working out this past year.  My bullet supplier, keep it up buddy, and remember who is winning with your bullets.................LOL.......  Also my buddies from Calgary who share a lot of information across the phone, texts, and e-mail.  I take it all to heart and try to put it into practice.  I really believe if it were not for the information we have shared I would have been doing so well.

I love this game even though I may GRIPE about it at times.   Running matches, loading, cleaning, cooking, scoring, etc etc.......  In reality though I feel a bit of BR burnout happening and cannot wait for a bit of a break after next weekend.  The sad part is winter will be fast upon us and then I will wish I had a match.

Maybe I will find that Sugar Mama?????  Here is to hoping................... LOL
