What a great turnout for the Provincials at Rosebud! We had 17 shooters attend, including Frank O who joined us all the way from the Yukon. It should also be noted Frank had a number of cans of whoop ass in his luggage, which he opened up while he was here! In the 2-Gun it was Hugh W, then Frank O,  then Rob S. Great time had by all and we look forward to seeing everyone again in 2024. Details attached.

Some photos from today's activities:

Reminder to everyone our last BRSC sanctioned shoot at Rosebud in 2023 will be the Alberta Provincials on Sept 9-10. We will shoot LV 100 Saturday morning and HV 100 Saturday afternoon. We will rotate benches Saturday at the end of the day, then shoot HV 200 Sunday morning and LV 200 Sunday afternoon.

Those planning to camp at the range, or those needing access on the Friday practice day need to contact me to make arrangements.

If you haven't already spoken to me, please let me know if you are planning to come so we can be sure to have the correct amount of helpers.

See you there.
