You guys really don't skimp on the powder huh? lol Like the guy on BR central that just got his shipment of 96lbs of 8208 in....Are there not storage restrictions for that much powder?

I'm still getting started with a lot of things but I have a small assortment of powder on the way. I thought I was going a little crazy when I split an 8lb bottle of Varget with my brother lol. I also have some Re15, N550, N140 on the way and might try some Re17 if I can find some.

There is a 22PPC BR rifle on the Equipment Exchange on the GunNutz forum for $850. It is a 1-14 twist, looks to shoot pretty well.

Hmm, the only range we have over 100 yards is the DND range, so tables would have to be brought on site if we wanted to do 100 and 200 yard. Is there a rulebook anywhere that I can download and look at? For the first couple outings, it would be pretty informal, but it would be nice to have a baseline to go by. Also, what is a good source for targets? What is the standard firing sequence, 2 sighters 10 for score? Is there downloadable/printable ones?

 There is a pretty good chance of going to Ontario in the summer, so if any in Ontario wants to be the "pusher man" I'd love to come out and see what it's all about :)

Currently I only do F-class in PEI, but in the quest for the most accuracy out of myself and my equipment, why not hang out around the guys that shoot the smallest groups around? Some say their rifle is accurate "enough" for f-class, I personally can't stand that frame of mind, if your going to compete in something, don't you want to try and be the best?

One day I would love to try true BR shooting, but currently the budget is on the low side for another build. There also isn't anywhere in the maritimes that I know of that does BR matches. I could be wrong?

I'm my opinion as a new, green shooter, the idea of a clinic would be great. The best thing about that, is that it would cover all competitive rifle shooting, no matter the discipline. Everyone needs to learn how to read conditions/flags, or some of the intricacies of loading match ammo, different styles of equipment etc.. It is kind of intimidating to see the "regulars" equipment on the line when you bring your close to factory rifle out and shoot. What there should be is a newbie class, for people who are just starting with 0-1 year experience. It would take some of the stress out of trying to compete with a full on build and let some people get hooked on the idea of getting the most out of what you have without spending a whole bunch of money, which is hard to come by these days for some. Anyway, that's just my small view on the subject.

Once you get out there and there is even just one guy that takes the extra time to help the new guy out, makes a BIG difference, sometimes it takes some extra patience lol, but it will definitely be worth your time if you are looking at keeping/getting new people into the sport.
