Some good news to report. We have begun the firing line expansion at Rosebud. This will take us from 14 benches to 25 benches. The expectation is to have the canopy expansion done this year, then next year pour the benches and concrete pad.

Looking good guys.
Hey Rick, (or are you Hugh-LOL) I don't see a contractors belt, so guess you are the chief cook and bottle washer--sidewalk superintendent.
See you soon
-
Which end are you adding to, from the pictures it looks like both but kind of hard to tell. A 25 bench range would be big enough to hold a large shoot! Looking good!
-
Both ends. Henry and I got the gable ends on and bolted down Monday after work. Now we will have a roof raising next saturday
-
Well here is what we accomplished yesterday.

you guys are doing an awesome job out there, the range is really improving nicely.
feel like a dick for not being able to make it out to help. paying for taking a couple saturdays to attend shoots now.
to the volunteers that have been able to make the time to help and the executive to have the fortitude to keep things moving forward, THANK YOU!!

That is impressive! Nice work guys!
-
No it is open. Won,t let volunteers on a wet roof to work.
-
Looks great Tony.Rosebud is fortunate to have good volunteers and guys like yourself to spearhead these projects.
-
Well done gang, keep it going.
-
I don't think we will have anymore problems with the wind flags being too high.
Bench14 legs are now only18 inches above grade, now we will need to raise all of the bench legs!

Looks pretty darn cool!

Great job being done on the range, well done to all involved.
Should be interesting shooting on the finished facility.
-
Dang that looks awesome!
-
Very nice! It is looking very World class.
-
2021 here we come!!
-
Wow! That is really impressive. Got to be Canada's best BR venue. Regards, Bill.

More progress to report. Cribbing is close to done. Existing benches will have extensions welded to legs as they are getting a bit short! Pour will be on Tuesday. One more work bee on Saturday to do the finishing touches to the roof and elsewhere.
Can't thank the club enough for all the support and the volunteers as well. This will be an absolutely first rate firing line.

Wow,
This is without a doubt going to be the best benchrest range in all of western Canada. Lots of hard work by all the volunteers certainly has paid off.

Cannot wait to see the place next year.
That is the way you do a range upgrade. Set minds that think alike to work and get at it.
Congrats guys and congrats to ALL of you who have donated countless hours to the project.
I just may have to see how friendly Westjet will be and fly from Brandon to Calgary to shoot........
-
We always look forward to the opportunity to give you a bad time Calvin!!!! Why not move here and add to the growing B.R. crowd?
-
Well I will put it to you this way.........
If I could find a 2 bedroom apartment in a 4 or 6 plex that is 12 years old
good neighbors
and costs 765.00 per month
and a job that pays a poor mans Manitoba wage of 70G notes a year I may consider it.
Oh and a population of approx 50,000 and no more than 2 hours from Calgary
I may.........
I am not asking for much
Oh and a pension plan, benefits, 40 hour work week, Double time for OT
I am not asking for much am I.......
Pretty sure a 50 year old telephone guy is not going to find that in AB....
LOL
-
Well we got a lot done today. Had over 20 people out for the last work bee of the year.
