BRSC - Benchrest Shooters Canada / Re: 2026 BRSC Nationals
« on: July 20, 2026, 10:13:50 PM »
Just a heads up and I know things can change before the match.  Life can toss curves at us.

Presently I have 22 shooters who have said they will attend.  We are capping it at 2 full relays which is 28.  If you have not mentioned you are coming, message me at 1-204-570-1956.

I will be sending out an inquiry about mid to 3rd week in August re bench sharing.  Also with me being 3 hours away it is hard to plan a barbecue.  I am wondering thoughts on say making a reservation  at a venue if enough interest.  Please let me know your thoughts.  I was going to maybe check Larters Golf Course if they are free that weekend for a Saturday.  If not, not a big deal.  We will be in touch soon.

Talking with Grant he said how nice it would have been to have more pictures of the people who used to shoot in Selkirk.  Well in my time I have taken a few but decided to take a few more to add some new faces and some old ones as well.  Enjoy.

The match is one for the record books.  This year due to the upcoming BRSC Nationals in Selkirk and a busy August, it was decided to hold the Provincials in July.  One could not have asked for a better weekend.  Temps in the morning were about 22 deg right up to touching 30 deg in the early afternoon.  Humidity, well that stayed in the low to mid 70% range all weekend.  Surprisingly, with the humidity and the torrential downpour late Thursday night the mirage did not appear.  Wind, well that had its moments.  Saturday for 100 yards was pretty dang nice.  Sunday, not so nice.  It was not the gale force wind that we had in May but it was it's usual Selkirk windshield wiper effect winds.  The flags would not settle down for one moment.  If you thought you would get that nice green or orange down the entire length out to 200, wishful thinking.
When the smoke cleared after both days we had a few small groups and a few oopsies.
The smallest of the groups were 3 screamer groups shot this weekend.
Dwayne Cyr  HV 100  .082
Grant Schick   HV 200  .189
Rod Jack  HV 200  .193
The largest of the groups was an unfortunate oops and ended up with a 4" penalty.  Tough day when one forgets to go back up to the record from the sighter.  Sorry Tory.
The story of the weekend as you will see below was the HV 100 clinic put on by Dwayne Cyr.  He was steady in LV 100 but turned it up a notch in the HV.  He shot an impressive .1652 HV agg.  This agg will be submitted to the records committee for verification of a potential new BRSC HV 100 record which I believe currently stands at a .1728. 
Dwayne's .1652 is also the new Selkirk range record which was currently held by Tyler Edmunds of AB .1678
To end this long winded report, see the final attached results.

You can always change the headers on Bughole to your range and region.


Yah, I have just not taken the time to set Chelsea's pc up for that.

BRSC - Benchrest Shooters Canada / Selkirk May 9/10, 2026 Results
« on: May 11, 2026, 08:13:50 AM »
Well folks.  What a hum dinger of a weekend it was at the Selkirk Wildlife Range.  If you were not there you missed out on some great conditions (insert sarcasm).  The warmest of the weekend was Friday with a high of 14 and the usual winds out the North.  Those north winds brought the cold air with them into Saturday and Sunday.   Saturday morning started out with temps about 5 deg and got to about 9 deg before it began to drop back down before we were done shooting for the day.  Sunday started out about the same but was cooler throughout the day.  Needless to say there were torque, gloves coming out and hoods pulled over ones head.  The winds were just like your windshield wipers put on high.  They almost never settled down to give you a chance to have a condition.  If it did, which was maybe for a group or 2 some lucked out.  Grant Schick took advantage of that and shot a screamer in HV 100 with an .096.  Trying to figure if one was in tune or not, well who would have known.

All in all, the small group that we are, we had many laughs along the way played to the tune of "Bang Your Head".

Thanks to Chelsea and Simaran (sp?) for scoring and running targets and to those who helped to set up and tear down the frames.

Next match is in July and look forward to warmer temps (hopefully).  Enjoy the results from the fun filled windy cold weekend.

Centerfire Discussions / My First NBRSA Nationals
« on: April 24, 2026, 12:15:31 PM »
Thought I would share.  This was my first ever NBRSA Nationals held at MillCreek Range in Kansas.  A time I will never forget along with the look from Tony when he and Faye were in the golf cart.  Rick P introduced us to Tony.  I had my rifle over my shoulder, Tony proceeded to tap the butt end of my stock.  The look I will never forget from Tony.  I will never forget it.

Anyhow I had this shirt signed by the greatest male and female shooters in SR Benchrest.  The targets were not great but I had to save them for myself and to look back when I struggle.

I still have that rifle and I believe every but one 2 gun i have won was with that rifle which I still have.

BRSC - Benchrest Shooters Canada / Re: Founding member of BRSC passes
« on: April 22, 2026, 07:33:50 AM »
I was fortunate enough to get a couple disc's from Bill Gammon before he passed away.  On those disc's are the BRSC printings that he had scanned that he had at the time.  I sure hope someone in Ontario ended up with some of this history from the family.  He was searching for more copies that he did not have.  I am sure that is someplace here on the site the copies he was searching.  Regardless, what a time it was for BR in Canada in those years.

I was informed that prior to 911 it was not uncommon to see 20+ shooters at Selkirk.  Many Americans came from ND and Minnesota to shoot.  911 halted that.  But looking at BR in those states it is pretty quiet today.  Minnetonka numbers have dwindled.  The youngsters are feeling the pinch or just more interested in the action shooting sports.

BRSC - Benchrest Shooters Canada / 2026 BRSC Nationals
« on: January 09, 2026, 08:36:55 AM »
I have had a few inquiries re the date.  The planning stages are for Sept 5 & 6, 2026.  That is Labor day long weekend.
 Ideally we would have liked August long weekend but it is not in the cards.  Weather in Manitoba is still good in September.  I am aware that it sort of conflicts with the end of the NBRSA Nationals ending the weekend before for those who plan on attending it.  This makes the BRSC Nationals a true ending to the season.  More updates to follow.  Cal

Centerfire Discussions / Congrats to canadians at NBRSA Nats & Worlds
« on: September 29, 2025, 01:21:12 PM »
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.

Something else I should mention, the inaugural Walter Mychalchuk LV Grand Aggregate.

Many may have never met Walter or shot against him.  In my mind he was the life of the shoot.  He no longer shoots as he is at the ripe ole age of 92.  His eyesight is not the best.  His son Larry has carried on the tradition.  Walter loved the sport and said he wished he had started when he was a lot younger.  This award will be handed out every Provincials.

Enjoy the picture of Match Director Grant Schick, Larry Mychalchuk, and inaugural winner Tory Phinn.

Also here is a picture of Walter from years gone by winning the 2 gun.  Smile Walter.....

Centerfire Discussions / Cleaning solution, my experiment
« on: August 18, 2025, 09:16:16 AM »
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.
