Selkirk in May............

(1/2) > >>

cyanchycki:
Up at the crack of dawn yesterday to make the trex to Selkirk.  Tank of fuel, cup of Tim's and on the highway.

Weather report................................ Just one way to sum it up......................... COLD...........WET...........WINDY.  In other words the SH+++
Was at the range by 10:15 with Dwayne in tow.  As we were yammering away a tall fella walks in by the name of Bob Kerr.  Great conversation to say the least.  Bob has a VERY PATIENT wife as we BS'd for about 2.5 hours and she sat in the car the whole time NOT once coming over. 

Still the same weather report.

Shortly after a few more started to pop in.  Benson, Schick, and then first timer Jamie Macleod.  More yammering and no weather change.

Things finally began to let up and around 16:00 the rain had stopped, wind died down, but still no sun.  Shortly abouts one could finally hear the crack of gunfire and the smell of gunpowder in the air.  Yee haw....................

Till tommorrow..................

John VM:
Calvin, say hi to Bob for me! Man he has a great sense of humor.

Bill Gammon:
Tell Bob HI!! If it where not for Bob ORSA would have been dead a long time ago. I have nothing but respect for that man.

cyanchycki:
John, Bill will do. 

Wish I could have more time to talk with him.  He had one mishap though...................... made the trip WITHOUT any brass.  At least he had everything else.  The guys found some brass for him and it fit.  I guess there is something if you shoot a .262 neck like so many.  He would have been SOL if I were the lone shooter as I ahve a .269.  The time we have had has been interesting.  Wish I could not let the stress of trying to shoot and run a match get to me........................... :P :P

Well the conditions were ROTTEN as can be.  Switchy, switchy, switchy.  No small aggs that is for sure.  Winds were from 10-2 and would flip at the snap of the fingers.  It must have been 30-40 kmh.

In regards to results I can say off the top of my head that the LV 100 was won by Dwayne Cyr and HV 100 by Murray Benson.  I will get the full results as soon as possible but trust me they are nothing small.   Both winning aggs were in the .3's.

Tommorrow the wind is supposed to be lighter so Maybe we will make the 200 yard matches a bit more exciting.

cyanchycki:
I will write up a full report in the next day or two.  Pretty wore out from the weekend.  I will e-mail full results to Rick to have them posted.

LV100 Dwayne Cyr of Kenora with a .3010
HV100 Murray Benson of Selkirk .3338

HV 200 Bob Kerr of Ontario .4356
LV 200 Dwayne Cyr a flat .4200

LV Grand Dwayne Cyr .3605
HV Grand Bob Kerr .4037

2 Gun Dwayne Cyr .4052

Most definately not small aggs. As the conditions presented themselves the group sizes represented the conditions.
