Our annual BR50 Championship has been renamed in honor of the late Bob Goehring who was the driving force behind Rimfire Benchrest in the Lower Mainland.  We miss him greatly. 

Ray returned to his position as money taker and match runner.  Ray also did a stellar job of filling the prize table for this event!  Also thanks to Mel, Derreck and Man Kay for scoring.

And thanks to our sponsors!

We welcomed Dave, Mike and Tammy from Vancouver Island - Thanks for taking the ferry ride to participate!

Conditions were quite mild and the scores reflected that. 

Next match is August 24 - Hope to see you all there.   

Here are the results, sorted by class and rank.  Additions and changes to the Equipment List are appreciated. 


...and here are the ongoing numbers for the year-end title.  Once again, you have to shoot all matches to get a reasonable average until more than 5 matches have passed.  How time flies, only 3 more matches this year!

Once again Mission Rod and Gun will be hosting the BRSC Group Nationals on August 3 & 4. 

Light Varmint / Heavy Varmint, 100 & 200 yards, for a total of 20 5 shot groups. 

Practice day on Friday, August 2. 

If you are planning to attend, please email me (mdumont@uniserve.com) or Joe Mendham (joemendham@hotmail.com) to let us know.

We'd also be happy to answer any questions.

With Ray away, Paul stood in as money taker and match runner.  Also thanks to Mel, Derek and Man Kay for scoring.

We welcomed Dave, Mike and Tammy from Vancouver Island, and they proceeded to show us how it is done.  We need to keep telling ourselves that competition improves the breed.  Seriously, we do hope they return soon. 

Conditions were tricky, with shifty spring breezes. 

Next match is July 27, the Provincial Championships - Hope to see you all there.   

Here are the results, sorted by class and rank.  Additions and changes to the Equipment List are appreciated.

Now I have to get myself some more wind flags...

We shot Group at our regular monthly match.  A full turnout of 12 shooters were treated to a lovely day, with calm conditions to start but getting increasingly tricky as things warmed up. 

We actually had to turn away a shooter, and plan to go to multiple relays at a single distance if the popularity of the event continues to increase.  I'll remind everyone it's important to let us  know you are coming, and to also let us know if your plans change. 

Thanks to Joe for preparing the targets and backers and calling the match, to Art for organizing the finances and to Paul who showed up to measure all 120 targets.  Also thanks to those who ran and stripped the targets. 

Congrats to Joe for his sizzling .085 target at 100 yards, easily best group of the day!

Next month we host our yearly BRSC Registered Group Shoot on May 26 - Heavy Varmint, 5x5 shot groups at each of 100 and 200 yards.  If you haven't told us you are coming, please get in touch.  Hope to see you there.

And the results...  100 yards:


200 yards:


...and the Grand Agg:

Match will be held Sunday, May 26 at Mission Rod and Gun starting at 9am.  Setup begins at 8.

Heavy Varmint, 5 x 5 shot groups at each of 100 and 200 yards. 

Practice day is Saturday, May 25 starting at 9am.  The club cafeteria is open both days.

This is a BRSC registered shoot, so you must be a member of Benchrest Shooters Canada to participate.  (If this is your first BRSC registered shoot, this requirement is waived.  BRSC also recognizes NBRSA members.) 

Please get back to me (mdumont@uniserve.com) or Joe (joemendham@hotmail.com) if you plan to attend, or with any questions, comments or concerns. 

Thanks to you all for your support, and hope to see you May 26th.

Mark and Joe

We shot Group at our regular monthly match.  A full turnout of 12 shooters got what should be the last sub-zero match of the spring.  Conditions started quite mild, but as usual picked up for the 200 yard distance. 

We'd like to welcome 4 new shooters - Jim, Tony, Chad and Matt - Hope they had fun and that we'll see them again. 

The old guard stood down to give everyone else a chance to play.  If the turnout continues to grow, we may have to shoot relays and only a single distance per match - Other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks to Joe for preparing the targets and backers and calling the match, to Art for organizing the finances and to Paul who showed up to measure all 120 targets.  Also thanks to those who ran and stripped the targets. 

Congrats to Pete on winning the Grand Agg and 200 yard match and to Mike for his 100 yard win and best group of the day. 

Next month our regular shoot is on April 28, where we will shoot Group as a runup to the BRSC Group Shoot on May 26.  Hope to see you all at both events.   

And the results...  100 yards:


200 yards:


...and the Grand Agg:

We shot Group at our first match of the year.  We also shot 5 groups at both 100 and 200 yards (rather than our usual 4), as per benchrest convention. 

The storm that passed through Saturday night on its way to wreak havoc on the Coquihalla had largely dissipated by Sunday morning, and conditions were much better than forecast.   

Nine hearty souls showed up to compete.   
 
Thanks to Joe for preparing the targets and backers, running the match and measuring the targets.  Thanks also to those who helped set up and retrieve the targets. 

Next month our regular shoot is on February 10, and we'll be shooting Score.  Hope to see you all there.  If you plan to come, please email me (mdumont@uniserve.com) or Joe (joemendham@hotmail.com) to reserve your spot. 

Now that we shoot 5 groups at each range, the Bughole program happily provides us with better reports.  Congrats to Allan and Art for small groups at 100 and 200 yards respectively. 

And the results... 
100 yards:


200 yards:


...and the agg:

We shot Score at our regular monthly match.   

We were treated to a lovely late fall day, with conditions only rising a little for the 200 yard targets, certainly enough to blow you out of the 10 ring (ask me how I know!) 

10 of our regulars showed up to participate. 

Joe prepped the targets, Art & Joe ran the match, and Art scored.  Running and stripping the targets was very much a group effort!

Congrats to Ken on his win and great shooting at 100 yards.

Next match is Sunday, January 6 2019 and we'll shoot Group.  The 2019 schedule is complete and is posted on the club website.   

And the results... 

We shot Group at our regular monthly match.  A full turnout of 12 shooters got spectacular weather, with beautiful sunshine and calm conditions, although some small switches caught me at 200.
 
Mark shot the rail - Probably should have removed the results, but thought you might find it interesting.  With more conditions, the playing field gets a lot more level!   

Thanks to Joe for preparing the targets and backers, running the match and measuring the targets. 

Next month our regular shoot is on November 11, less than the usual month away.  Hope to see you all there.  If you plan to come, please email me (mdumont@uniserve.com) or Joe (joemendham@hotmail.com) to reserve your spot. 

And the results...  100 yards:


200 yards:


...and the Agg:

Our July match is our yearly Tournament, with prizes galore.  Bob proclaimed this year "the year of the hat". 

The weather was warm, and the conditions quite mild.  Bob trounced the field, winning the match as well as every target.  He also shot a nearly perfect 2450 on his first target, but there are still more worlds to conquer.  Ray prevailed in Sporter. 

Good to see Nev out again, along with new shooters Jay (a Junior) and Leo. 

Thanks to Bob and Paul for running the relays, to Bob for doing all the scoring and to Ken and Werner for doing the arithmetic.   

I was a little slow with the Equipment List forms, please let me know if there are any serious lies or omissions that need correction. 

Here are the results...
