No.  Won't be going.

Short and sweet.  Congrats to all the Canadians who were present at the NBRSA Nationals and those that competed in the Worlds.

Congrats to Robert Seeman on winning the 2 gun at the Nationals and placing 2nd in the 3 & 4 Gun at the Nationals.  His points from the Nationals I believe ties him with Hugh W at 7. 

Very soon one of them will make it into the BR Hall of Fame.  I do not believe there is anyone outside of a US citizen in the BR Hall of Fame.

This is an experiment I decided to try.  Take it however you wish.
I mixed First Choice with about an inch long strip of Iosso into a small bottle with a couple small ball bearings to help mix and break down the Iosso.  The bottle is about 100ml.


This will be my new go to solvent for carbon and copper.


I looked at my barrel with the scope again today after shooting the Provincials this past weekend.  No copper or carbon at all in the grooves or on the lands.


I just ran 2 wet patches of straight Boretech or First choice to get most of the carbon out.  Wet a soft nylon brush with my solution and brushed back and forth maybe 14 to 16 times.  Let sit while I loaded with brush at the end of the muzzle.  Do about another dozen strokes after loading, 3 wet patches, dry, and oil.


The Thorro Clean and Flush works, but in the long run this is way easier on the pocket book when paying 30.00 US for a small cleaning solution kit.


Just an FYI.  I dont expect you guys to change methods but no soaking needed at all.

More results.

Once again, the usual unsteady lake winds wreaked havoc. 

And as usual Dwayne, another awesome score match until 200M.....lol

Cannot wait till the next match and to take the silhouette crown from whoever holds it...😉

A little over a week away from the first match of the year.

Friday the range is closed to the public for practice.

We will follow the usual LV/HV rotation.

Sat AM will be LV 100, PM will HV 100.  Sunday  we will rotate benches.  AM will be HV 200 and PM LV 200.  Following will be the awards ceremony.  Hope to see whoever is able to attend.

I will actually be at the range by Thursday Lunch to prepare for the weekend.

Rick, are those that were scanned by Bill Gammon?

Sad day indeed. Your mark will never be forgotten.  I still have 3 of your unchambered barrels that I hope will hum a tune to victory.....RIP Rob

Welcome to the group Trevor.  We will talk tomorrow.
