Starting to lose track of the years, but I think the Forum is 15 years old now. Ever since CGN told me start my own forum! So here we are!

Please see attached 2024 BRSC Record book as of the end of 2024. Only one record updated this year. I think the era of the record book being "soft" is long since over!

Great news Kelly! The BR interest continues to grow, and your group is one of the reasons it is growing. Kudos to your team! I encourage everyone to get behind this project, it will be great for BR shooters in Western Canada and gives us another venue to shoot at. Let me know if you need any assistance from BRSC.

We are pretty much finished the qualifying season, and I have attached the point standings post NBRSA Nationals in Phoenix. Unless there is a mistake or an omission then this is the final qualifying order for the 2025 World Benchrest Championships in St. Louis. The top 12 have until January 31, 2025 to confirm their desire to attend, and we will finialize the team after January 31st.
Thanks to everyone for putting in the effort to make the team. It is a huge commitment in terms of time, cost, travel and I applaud all our shooters for taking on this task. Well done to all.
Not too late to start thinking about Finland in 2027, where it is rumoured WBC 18 will be held.

I wanted to take a moment and thank Doug Wright of March Scopes Canada for his generous support of Benchrest Shooting in Canada https://marchscopes.ca/
Doug donated a $1000 March Scope Gift Certificate which was won by Kelly Norgard. In addition each competitor received a $500 Gift Certificate towards a March scope purchase.
This level of support is appreciated by the Club and the BRSC, and I know the competitors appreciate it as well.
That is Kelly in the attached photo receiving his Certificate.

The 2024 Alberta Provincials are complete. It was a great weekend with 23 shooters in attendance. Shooters from MB and BC joined us for the last shoot of the season at Rosebud. Provincial Champion is Hugh Williamson! Thanks to everyone who made this happen; the Rosebud Club, the target crew, the scorer, and all the behind the scenes people needed to make the shoot possible.
Hugh Williamson had a possible BRSC record with a .159" in LV 200 yards, now in the hands of the scoring committee.
Details posted below. I will add pictures a bit later as well as an equipment list.
