Club Events / Rob Seemann at IBS Nationals
« on: July 10, 2026, 03:22:32 PM »
All,
I am pleased to annouce that our good friend and mentor to many BR shooters here in Canada has earned two USA Benchrest Hall of Fame points today at the IBS National Championships in Holton, Michigan by winning the LV Grand Aggregate. This gives Rob a total of 11 points as of today and gets him over the threshold of 10 points required to enter the Benchrest Hall of Fame.
No Canadian has ever done this, and nobody outside of the USA has achieved this. Rob has been working like mad to get to this point with a couple of near misses on points in the last few years, but he has stuck with it and has achieved the result he has worked so hard for.
Congratulations to Rob!

The Stampede Shootout is in the bag. Great turnout and many thanks to our out of town competitors. Great to see everyone once again. Special note to Stan W who flew in from Toronto to shoot with us! That is commitment!
The BR201 School was a big hit this year, I think we had 22 attendees, and thanks to Rob S and Hugh W for presenting on the many topics such as bench setup, flag setup, target management/strategy among many others. We are lucky to have such knowledgable presenters willing to share their knowledge.
So many people to thank including Wally P who came and scored and the target crew, Tyler E who looked after the backers, and power for the event, and the many other volunteers, and of course thanks to Rosebud Club for the use of the venue.
We ran a cash option this uear and it was well received by all accounts. Thanks to Doug T for organizing it.
Dean Weger is the big winner and beat up on the rest of the field by taking all the individual aggs and of course the 4 gun. He could not be stopped, and we all tried!

Great day today at the Open House. Close to 50 attendees and 12 helpers. Seems like a few folks have found their way to the slippery slope of BR. Thanks to the Club for the venue and to all the helpers in the clubhouse and the firing line along with Gary and his crew who hosted the BBQ. Next up is our first shoot of the season June 13/14, which is the 4 Gun at 100 yds event. Reminder we will have the BR201 school on the Thursday, then ask Hugh and Rob a question Friday.
