Well gang, a week tommorrow the lead will be flying down range at the Selkirk Wildlife Range for the 2013 SBRS Provincials.  This will be the 3rd and Final Match of the year.  I look forward to seeing everyone and maybe a few more faces???

The format is as usual, practice on Friday if needed.  I should be there bright and early. hopefully no later than 10:00.  Approx 2:45 drive for me from home.

Hope to be shooting by no later than 9AM Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday will be LV 100 in AM and HV 100 in PM
Sunday will be HV 200 in AM and LV 200 in PM

I have not made any lunch arrangements so unless I hear different it will be fend for yourself.  The coffee will be on and maybe I will be able to muster up some treats to go along with the coffee.

Saturday evening supper we will decide on the fly.

If there are any questions PM me or send an e-mail to me at cyanchyc@mymts.net.

We are less than 2 months away.  It seems like a long time but in reality it is not that far off.   I figure this is the easiest way to touch base with everyone who may be attending. 

In regards to the AGM there is not a lot going on that I have heard that needs addressing.  If you know of anything please contact me via e-mail.  My e-mail is cyanchyc@mymts.net.  In other words the AGM should be very short and just a matter of going thru the motions.

The weekend plan is as follows.

FRIDAY:  The range will be available for practice Friday.  I believe it will be shared with the public.  If I had my way it would be otherwise. 
I want to start the AGM at 17:00 and be done by 18:00.  I also plan on assigning benches Friday.  PLEASE, if you are attending the sooner you can let me know the better.  This will give us an indication if it will be 1 or 2 relays.  Benches will be assigned and those who just show up will be filled in.  This will give the 1st relay shooters an opportunity to get there equipment in place to get the ball rolling ASAP Saturday. 

SATURDAY:  Shooting will begin with LV 100 in the AM.  Lunch break.  I hope we may be able to have Pizza brought in if there is enough interest.  Otherwise lunch will be a fend for yourself.  PM will be HV 100.  There is nothing at this time formally planned for supper.  If you want we can try and get a location that can host a group or just go our seperate ways in Selkirk.  I know there will be a GAGGLE staying at the Selkirk Inn and Conference Center.  I urge you to book your rooms now if you are attending.  There is Smitty's restaurant and a lounge next door.

Sunday:  Begin shooting ASAP.  I want to do my best to get the traveller's out of town ASAP.  Not that I want you to go but I know what it is like to travel long distances.  AM will be HV 200 followed by a lunch break.  PM we wind it down with the LV 200.  Followed by the awards ceremony.

If you have any questions or suggestions contact me at the e-mail address above or many of you have my phone number so call.

There may be a few changes before the shoot but I will keep everyone up to date.

Murray was talking about maybe having a weiner roast Friday at the range.  Let me know your thoughts and we will go along with the general concensus.

Look forward to seeing everyone.

I was hoping I would be able to squeeze them on to my LV rifle but they are not going to make weight.  Guess I need one of them McMillan EDGE stocks....................

The blanks are 24" in raw length.

375.00 ea plus shipping.

Some of you are aware that recently I have been tearing appart my triggers and polishing up the internals to smooth them out and crispen there break point.

I then get asked "would you do mine?"  My answer "you can do it.  It is not that hard"  The conversation ends there.

I have decided that I am willing to polish triggers for a fee of $50.00+ return shipping to your address.  At the present this is for BR triggers only.  Turnaround time will be as a first come first serve basis.  Basically a trigger an evening. 

I can adjust as well but you may have to fine tune it to your action.  I may in the near future have some spare springs on hand in case they are in need of replacement.  Quite often you may have a trigger with a poor spring.

If you are interested, PM or e-mail to cyanchyc@mymts.net

So I have been talking with my buddy lately in regards to the possible need for a trauma kit.  I have heard of a few close calls with IPSC shooters and there pistols......  Go figure.....

There is a cost to these kits but a lot of items appear to not be required.  It would be cost effective to piece the kits together.  This is where we run into a bit of a discrepency.

We are trying to decide which powder to include in the kit for the possiblility of sealing a sucking chest wound or any major gunshot wound.  We know 133 is fast and clean burning, less chance of infection.  But would it be effective in sealing the wound of a larger man/wound or would it be to fast?

The latest lot of XBR 8208 is pretty dirty burning, more chance of infection.  or would we better off with different burn rates depending on the size of the man/wound? 

I figured one of those palm sized butane torches with a butte knife would cauterize the wound.....

Your input would be appreciated.

 

We are 2 weeks tommorrow from the second and final match for this year.

No changes to the format.

Sat Aug. 18
LV 100 AM
HV 100 PM

Sun Aug. 19
HV 200 AM
LV 200 PM

Cost is 60.00 for the weekend plus a BRSC membership if you do not have one.

Practice day Friday if you so desire.  I will be there early Friday AM.  If you are attending I would really like to know in advance.  E-mail me at cyanchyc@mymts.net.

I have done up a letter so you do not get the gears about practicing at the range.  I will take the heat from everyone who does not like it.  If you would like a copy just e-mail me and I will get it to you.

Word is there are a few Alberta Gunners making the trip.

I will contact Lyle and see if he is around for the shoot to set up pizza or something.  If not I will get it lined up.  How about supper Sat evening?  Any suggestions??  Larters?  Beer cart?  ;_P

See you there.

I figured I should share this with everyone.

Are you in need of a set of GREAT compact windflags? 

If you drive a Ford Ranger like I do space is at a premium.  If you are my buddy Jeffy, you drive a 1 Ton Ford diesel...................  How embarrasing for me............  Space is not an issue.

Robin driving a 1 ton 4x4 Ford pickup.................  Yum Yum...................  I'm bad...............

Anyways, Rick Graham has just the product for you.

His Tool Box Flags.  I bought this set when down in Billings.  The set came with the 8 Flat Top Flags with the large veins, High Vis Vinyl with arrows and the 8 balls.  Rick will also make any adapter that you require for your stands.  I am sure when you order a set a set of adapters comes with the flags.  I am sure Rick will chime in.

Rick informs me that he also makes a Daisy version Tool Box Flag as well.  For details and pricing you can contact Rick.

Not that I needed another set of flags but I could NOT pass up the compactness when I saw them.









 

Just a reminder that 2 weeks from tommorrow is the Nationals at Rosebud Silhouette and Benchrest Club.  

Friday will be the AGM Meeting hopefully starting at 5PM.  I want to keep it short and sweet.  The agenda has been e-mailed out to almost all paid up BRSC members.  If you have not recieved it and you are interested please e-mail your request before Tuesday.  After that day I will not be available as I will be leaving for Montana on my way to Calgary for the Nationals.

I need to go as light as possible so I will not have my PC or printed copies for everyone.  If you can and you are attending print a copy off for yourself to bring along.  The key things I want to get hashed out and finalized for a general membership vote is the Rules document and the records procedure.  I will also be looking for a volunter along with our secretary to go over the converted BRSC Bylaws.  I converted them to word and it is just to proof read the document to make sure nothing was missed.

Any questions get in touch with me ASAP.

BRSC Feared Leader.......

Well today started out early with the wind most definately stronger than it was yesterday.  I was in the shower by 5:45 AM and at the range by 6:45 and began to think to myself that today is going to be mighty interesting.  It was to a point but even though it was blowing good the conditions were readable and repeatable.  This afternoon there were a few times when it got a bit squirly where it gave some 180 degree reversals.  I think I found a new respect for my wind probe in the wind.  I listened to what it told me.  I do have faith in what it says.

Anyhow to the results.

I hope to have some pictures up in the next little bit.

This is it until the Provincials in August where I hope to see a few more shooters come out and brave the winds of the Prairies.  Gord Wald informed us that if he has his way he will not see us in August.  Gord has been waiting a LONG TIME for total knee replacement and hopes to have it taken care of shortly.  Oh and as a side note he is willing to lend his rifle out to anyone who would like to shoot it at the Nationals..........  Yah right.

Until next time.

As Chris Ross would say "SEE YAH".
