Excuse the 13 year delay but I just bought a Shadetree rest top and wish I had read your topic before. After reception, I installed it on my Sinclair base 3/4" shaft) which, I was told byShadetree would fit and it did. On,y problem; the top of the top wobbles and when trying to move the joystick up or down, the sides didn't move together, one side moved faster than the other.
 I contacted the company and the told me to screw off the tension screws, remove the top and reinstall it on its Shadetree restop base. I did, nothing changed. I decided to screw the tension screws evenly till I felt about the same resistance and it worked BUT joystick was stiffer to move.
 I have never bought something that didn't work and that the company tells you to disassemble part of it and reassemble it to make it work. On top of it, joystick is right under the rifle forend and parallel to it ! I am considering bending it so my left hand doesn't have to be right under the forend.
 With the exchange and shipping it came up to over $600 CAD. Not impressed.

An even dozen shooters showed up to compete in the last match of the season.  Conditions were very mild, although the temperature was on the minus side! 

We welcomed Dave back after a long absence, and he turned a credible performance despite the layoff!

Ken prevailed in Benchrest, followed closely by Mel, Cynthia and Paul.  Tim took Sporter and also got all 4 Best Targets in that division. 

Thanks to Paul for organizing the match.  Thanks also to Derreck, Shawn and Mel who did the scoring and to Tim who organized the targets.

Hope to see you all again next year! 

...and the results:

All, The World Rimfire Championships will be held in Valencia, Spain from Sept 8 to Sept 14th 2024.

I encourage all interested parties who would like to attend and represent Canada, to get in touch with me.

We are looking for competitors and a delegate to help organize the Canadian entry.

Thanks,

Rick - rickpollock@shaw.ca
