Club Events / Mission - November 2025 Benchrest Group Shoot
« on: November 02, 2025, 08:55:06 PM »
A bunch of last-minute cancellations left only 5 shooters to contest our November match.  Conditions started relatively calm, although they rapidly became much more active. 

Art called the match and organized the targets, along with Don, Allan and Milan.  Thanks to all who pitched in!

Don took the 100 yard portion while Allan took the 200 and the Agg.  Congrats also to Allan for his two .195 groups at 100 (the only ones to be had) and to Art for his .234 screamer at 200. 

Next match is December 7, our last match of the year. 

And the results - 100 yards:



200 yards:



...and the Agg:

12 shooters showed up to compete for our last match of the season.  The weekend weather was stormy and rainy, but at match time we shot in moderate conditions. 

Mel took Sporter (Paul was second for once) while Chris took Custom. 

In a big change from previous matches only one shooter averaged more than 2000 per target.  We need more wind to practice in!

Thanks to Paul for organizing the match, and to Shawn and Mel for scoring. 

Last match of the season, see you next year!

I was away for the match, so commentary is a little thin!

Thanks to Gord for handling the scoring, I just made it a little prettier!

Next match is September 27, hope to see a good turnout.

Club Events / Mission - October 2025 Benchrest Group & Score at 300
« on: October 06, 2025, 05:25:14 PM »
This month, we held our combined Group and Score 300 yard match.  In this format, we hang both a Group and a 200 yard Score target at 300 yards.  You have 14 minutes to complete both targets, and we repeat the process 5 times for the complete match.

Because this shoot combines Group and Score, scoring is done on the basis of points.  You get one point for every competitor you beat in each match. 

A good turnout of 9 shooters got beautiful fall weather and very mild conditions, although, as usual, conditions started to pick up as the morning went on.  We started at 8 degrees while we finished at close to 20.

Congrats to Milan who had the smallest agg in the Group competition - Good shooting in interesting conditions!

Thanks to Art who called the match, Joe who collected our money and to Pete, Bob and Art who wrangled the targets at 300 yards.  Thanks again to Art who scored the Score targets. 

Our next match is November 2nd, and we'll be back to shooting Group at 100 and 200 yards.

Here are the results:

Club Events / Mission - September 2025 Benchrest Score Shoot
« on: September 08, 2025, 12:33:12 PM »
Nine shooters gathered to shoot a Score match as we usually do in the fall.  Conditions were fairly mild under cloudy skies and haze, although there were a few wind surprises. 

Results were very close, with an interesting tie for the 200 yard agg.  Both Pete and Don shot identical scores for the three papers, so it was necessary to go to the first bullseye on the first paper where Don prevailed with a 21 while Pete scored a 20.  Either way, a fine job of shooting on both their parts. 

Thanks to Art who called the match and did the scoring and to Pete, Don and Vlad who ran the targets.  Thanks also to all the others who participated. 

Next match is October 5, where we'll shoot Group and Score at 300 yards, our own version of the Tackdriver match.

...and this month's results - 100 Yards:


200 Yards:


...and the Grand Agg:

14 shooters showed up to compete in very mild conditions on a beautiful summer day. 

We welcomed Gurnoor Chahal, shooting Sporter.   

Don took Benchrest, Derreck took Custom (in the Peters battle) and Paul took Sporter.

Once again, more than half the Benchrest shooters averaged more than 2000 per target.  Practice makes perfect! 

Thanks to Paul for organizing the match, to Shawn, Mike and Art for scoring and to Tim for organizing the scored targets.   

Next match is September 27, hope to see a good turnout!

We shot in lovely weather and relatively steady conditions. 

With a smaller then usual contingent, YoDave's army still managed to take the top spot in Benchrest, while Derreck won the battle of brothers in Custom and Paul took Sporter. 

Mike, Shawn, Derreck and Mel handled the scoring while Tim organized the targets.  Paul organized the match (including the well stocked prize table) and called the line. 

Thanks to all our sponsors:
     Hirsch Precision
     Ray Parkin
     YoDave
     Reliable Gun
     Italian Sporting Goods


...and here are the results.  Thanks for filling out the Equipment List info!

15 shooters showed up to compete in mostly calm conditions, although the second relay did have its moments. 

Paul took Sporter (as well as all 4 best targets) while Derreck took Custom, exactly matching his Benchrest score!  We also welcomed Scott, we hope he will make our monthly matches a habit.

Benchrest is becoming quite competitive, with more than half the shooters averaging more than 2000 per target.  Practice makes perfect! 

Thanks to Paul for organizing the match, and to Shawn, Mike and Mel for scoring.     

Next match is July 19, the Bob Goehring Memorial, our premier match of the year.  Hope to see a good turnout!

Take note we will be hosting the  BRSC Nationals Championships at Mission and District Rod and Gun on August 2-3.

Friday Aug. 1 is a practice day and we will be hosting the BRSC AGM at 3pm in the clubhouse.
Saturday Aug. 2nd is LV 100 in the morning and HV 100 in the afternoon.
Sunday Aug. 3rd will be HV 200 in the morning and LV 200 in the afternoon. Trophy presentation to follow the matches.

Camping for the practice day and matches is allowed, just let us know in advance if you plan to camp.  Also let us know if you need parking for a reloading trailer. 

We would also like a head count so we can get things set up.  I'm assuming we will need 2 relays, so let us know about any flag sharing / bench buddy requirements. 

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

14 shooters showed up to compete in typical spring conditions with variable winds, gusty at times.  It's Cottonwood season, and the fluff sometimes passed for wind indicators. 

Paul took Benchrest and Sporter while Derreck took Custom with the best overall score of the day.  We also welcomed Clem, we hope he will make our monthly matches a habit!

Thanks to Paul for organizing the match, and to Shawn and Mike for scoring.     

Next match is June 28, hope to see a good turnout!

The course of fire will be 20 Score rounds at each of 100, 200 and 300 yards.  Bring 80 rounds or so if you preload.  Awards to third place at each yardage and the Jim Latham Perpetual Trophy to the winner of the Grand Agg.  Your chance for fame and glory!  We will shoot the 300 yard match first to allow for shot spotting in summer conditions,

This match has very few equipment rules - No muzzle brakes and no rail guns.  F-Open rifles are more than welcome!  Jim was always a fan of cross pollination in the shooting sports...

Safety meeting at 8:45, Match begins at 9:00 am sharp and we should be done by 4:00 pm or so.

$40 entry fee - Clubhouse cafeteria is open for lunch!

Pre registration is required, so please email me (markdumont750@gmail.com) or Joe (joemendham@telus.net) if you plan to attend and with any questions.

Club Events / Mission - May 2025 Benchrest Score Shoot
« on: May 04, 2025, 04:05:20 PM »
With a bunch of absences our May match attracted 6 shooters - Thanks to all who participated. 

Weather was challenging from the beginning, with shifting winds and changing temperatures. 

Art organized and ran the targets with help from Don.  Art also did the scoring while Joe called the line.  Thanks to all who pitched in.   

Next match is our annual Jim Latham Memorial Match Sunday, June 1 where we will shoot Score at 100, 200 and 300 yards.  This match has a long tradition and we hope to see a good turnout!

...and this month's results - 100 Yards:

...and the Agg:

13 shooters showed up to compete in typical spring conditions with variable winds, gusty at times. 

Mark took Benchrest, Derreck took Custom and some guy named Paul took Sporter.  Notably, Derreck's Custom score would have scored him a second place finish in the open Benchrest class!   

Thanks to Paul for organizing the match.  Scoring was a group affair, with Shawn, Mike, Derreck and Mel all pitching in.   

Next match is May 24, hope to see a good turnout!

We held this year's shoot in the usual changeable weather conditions, although this spring has been much colder than last year!  A few last minute cancellations left us with a thin field of only 12 shooters, and we shot 2 relays on a single backer frame.  As usual, practice and the 2 match days all provided very different conditions. 

As usual, the scoring and target crews provided prompt and accurate service!

Thanks to all who participated, particularly our visitors from Vancouver Island, who made the ferry journey.

And finally, thanks to all the shooters who pitched in to help.  It was always easy to fine someone to lend a hand!

13 shooters showed up to compete at our first match of the season.  Conditions were somewhat variable on an early spring day.     

Paul took Benchrest and Sporter while Tim took Custom.  We also welcomed Don to our matches.  He recently came over from the Dark Side on Vancouver Island, and finished 3rd in the Benchrest class.  Art also shot with us after a long absence.  All this should make Benchrest more competitive!

Thanks to Paul for organizing the match.  Scoring was a group affair, with Shawn, Mike, Mel and Derrick all pitching in.   

Next match is April 26, hope to see a good turnout!

As usual, this will be a "standard" 2-gun group shoot format, LV/HV at 100 and 200 yards.  We'll also have some benches reserved for practice on Friday, April 11. 

You must be a BRSC member to participate, and guns must follow the BRSC/NBRSA rules for Light and Heavy Varmint.

We're trying to get a participants list together so we can arrange things - Please contact Mark DuMont (markdumont750@gmail.com) or Joe Mendham (joemendham@telus.net) to reserve your space or with any questions.

Hope to see you there!

11 shooters showed up to compete during a gap between fall storms.  Despite unsettled skies, conditions were quite mild.   

Paul took Sporter with the best agg of the day while Derreck took Custom with the second best agg of the day.  Benchrest class shooters need to pull up their socks!

Thanks to Paul for organizing the match.  Scoring was a group affair, with Shawn, Mike, Mel and Susan all pitching in.   Tim organized the scored targets. 

This was our last match of the year, see you again next March!

Club Events / Mission - October 2024 Benchrest Group & Score at 300

With Pete away, Art handled the targets, Allan took our money and Joe called the match.  Thanks to all who pitched in! 

Our next match is November 3rd, and we'll be back to shooting Group at 100 and 200 yards. 

Because it is hard to compare Group and Score results, we adopt a scoring system where a shooter gets 1 point for each person with a lower score / group size in a particular match.  These scores are tallied and the one with the most points wins. 

Here are the results:

12 shooters showed up to compete on a beautiful early fall morning.  Conditions were very benign.   

Paul took Benchrest and Sporter while Mel took Custom.  The scores in Sporter have been steadily improving, and the top two scores in Sporter would have secured second place in the Benchrest class!

Thanks to Paul for organizing the match.  Scoring was a group affair, with Shawn, Mike, Mel and Derrick all pitching in.   

Next match is October 26, our last match of the season.
