I am pleased to report Canada Team 1 was 5th in the 2-Gun team Championship, and Canada Team 3 was 9th and Canada Team 2 was 10th. This was after shooting the NBRSA Nationals the week before. This was a challenge for our shooters and they still managed to get it done after about 16 days of shooting in total. Thanks to everyone for the support of the team and now looking forward to Volmerange in France in 2027!

Cal,
Hugh and Rob are tied at 9 Hall of Fame points each. Only a matter of time until one of them is the first Canadian in the Hall of Fame.

I am very pleased to announce Rob Seemann has won the Alberta Provincials in 2025. Rob was simply phenomenal in the wind, and it was quite windy in the afternoon each day. You had to be on your toes!
Additional notable performances by Hugh Williamson, Mark Dumont, SteveHorsley, and Allan Mantler. Results are posted below.
It was great to see so many out of towners on the last long weekend of the summer!
The end of the BR season at Rosebud has arrived. We look forward to seeing everyone again in 2026! Stay tuned as I hope to have the 20026 schedule posted around year end.

Rosebud Silhouette & Benchrest Club will be hosting the Alberta Provincials August 30-31st.
Last match of the year at Rosebud, don't miss it!
This will be a traditional 2-gun event with:
LV 100 yards Saturday Morning
HV 100 yards Saturday Afternoon
HV 200 yards Sunday Morning
LV 200 yards Sunday Afternoon
All matches are 5 shot groups.
There is no BBQ planned, you are on your own for food this weekend.
A reminder to let everyone know you DO NOT need the K Country Park Pass to shoot at Rosebud.
Camping is available, contact me for details.
I would also ask that you contact me to let me know you are coming, that helps plan for helpers and relays if I know how many are attending.
Thanks,
Rick
