Our May match brought mild conditions and some fancy scores. 

Thanks to Bob and Dave for running the relays, to Bob, Mel and Art for scoring and to Gord P for sorting and tracking the targets. 

The Equipment List section of the score sheet is looking a lot better - Thanks to all for taking the time to fill out the forms!

Congrats to Bob for the win in the Benchrest class.  And in the sporter class, Tim Peters managed to defeat Ray!  We need Nev back to swell the ranks of Sporter and to give tim and Ray some competition!

Here are the results...

I managed to miss the April match, but here are the results transcribed from the scoring sheets. 

Good to see that the spreadsheet agrees with the manual results, and that it is still possible to do them by hand!

Thanks to all who participated - Some drove a fair distance!

Too many people involved in organizing and running things to thank individually, but a great job done by all. 

Conditions started quite calm, but typical spring weather was running by the time we got to 200 yards - The 200 yard scores reflect that. 

We were missing our ace photographer Paul, so this is a pretty plain post!  Feel free to add anything you may have on your phones!

The 100 Yard Agg:


The 200 Yard Agg:  (I see I had mistakenly set this up as Light Varmint - It was, of course, Heavy Varmint!)


The Combined Agg:


...and the Equipment List:

We shot Group at our regular monthly match.  After a cold (well, for us) and wet winter were treated to a glorious morning, complete with a few inches of melting snow on the ground. 

The match turned into an epic struggle between Art Harder and Denis Lapierre - Denis owned 100, while Art owned 200.  In the end, Denis took the Agg by .0051.  Congratulations!

We welcomed two new shooters, Mike Daurie and Paul Higgins - We hope they become regulars. 

Thanks to Art for running the match as well as preparing the targets and backers and to Sonya and Allan for running the targets. 

We shoot group again next month on April 8 as a runup to our annual BRSC sanctioned Group Shoot on May 6 - Hope to see you all there for both events. 

And the results...  100 yards:

We shot Group at our regular monthly match.  9 hardy souls braved the winter weather to be greeted with relatively mild conditions, although those last few points did prove elusive!  We even had a couple of ties to break.

Thanks to Joe for running the match, to Art for preparing the targets and backers, to the target runners (I was loading and missed all the names, although I think I saw a newbie or 2 pitching in!) and to Sonya for both scoring and data entry.

We're back again on Sunday, December 3 - Hope to see you there. 

And the results... 

We shot Group at our regular monthly match.  After a week of smoke, conditions started calm, but developed some of the usual Mission summer mountainside challenges as the day progressed. 

Thanks to Joe for running the match, to Art for preparing the targets and backers, to Frank and Sonya for running the targets, to Sonya for data entry and to Sue for scoring.

We take a break for Public Sight In days in September, but we're back for the next monthly match on Sunday, October 15 - Hope to see you there.  We're also running our "Try Benchrest" event at the next match - Bring a friend!

And the results...  100 yards:


200 yards:


...and the agg...

The Mission range provided its usual challenging summer conditions for our fifth annual VFS shoot.  We started at 300 yards before the mirage got bad enough to hide all bullet holes later in the day, followed by 100 and 200 yardages.

It was a hard fought battle, but Joe prevailed to win the Grand Agg with a sizzling shoot at the final yardage. 

Thanks to all our shooters for participating and keeping the schedule tight. 

It was definitely a group effort - Joe ran the match, Art prepped the targets and Art and Sue did the scoring.  Target running was definitely a group effort, with Sue, Sam, Art and Denis helping out (and I'm sure I've missed somebody.)  Finally, thanks to Dan Zaccanti who couldn't make the match but still went out of his way to be sure we had 300 yard targets to shoot!

Thanks to our sponsors - Richard Nicol and HW Precision.

Grand Agg:  1st Joe Mendham, 2nd Denis Lapierre, 3rd Sam Parotta
100 yard Agg:  1st Sam Parotta, 2nd Joe Mendham, 3rd Dave Holbrook
200 yard Agg:  1st Joe Mendham, 2nd Denis Lapierre, 3rd Art Harder
300 yard Agg:  1st Art Harder, 2nd Wally McDonald, 3rd Dave Holbrook

Congratulations to Frank on the win!

Thanks to all who participated, to Art for prepping the targets, to Joe for running the match, to Frank and Sonya for target setup and to Sue for scoring. 



Hope to see you all for the Jim Latham Memorial on July 9.  If you haven't let us know yet, please email myself (mdumont@uniserve.com) or Joe (joemendham@hotmail.com) with your intentions - Spots are filling up fast.

After two cancellations, eight hardy souls braved the slush for the first actual match of the season. 

Conditions were benign to begin, but picked up as the day wore on and we moved to 200 yards. 

Congratulations to Frank on the win!

Thanks to all who participated, to Art for prepping the targets and running the match, to Frank and Sonya for target setup, to Sue for scoring and to Sonya for data entry (while Mark was playing with his handloading toys.) 



Hope to see you all for the next match on March 19 - We plan to shoot Score again.
