i am pleased to share these photos of our ongoing range expansion. We will be expanding the firing line from 14 benches to 20 benches. In addition we are running power to the clubhouse, firing lines and 100/200 yd berms.

The expansion will see a substantial amount of trees and earth removed on the left side of the range.

Not only that we are filling in the death valley behind the 100 yd berm, where good bullets formerly went to die.

Thanks to the Rosebud Club for making this expansion possible and of course the volunteers who give their time to improve everyone's range experience.

200 Meter Score Match
August 25th 2013,
In spite of the 33 degree weather, our match was attended by 13 shooters including Calvin who made the 4 ½ hour journey from Brandon to try his skill at score shooting. Calvin’s presence added a whole new dynamic to our match. The final results looked strange. Phil in third place? That can’t be right. In the end one of the home boys put a stop Cal’s winning streak and got some pay back for spanking the Kenora boys at the last 2 events in Selkirk.

BR 101 Invitation

Following on the heels of the wildly successful BR101 Clinic in 2011 and 2012, The Rosebud Silhouette & Benchrest Club is pleased to announce it will hold a Benchrest 101 Clinic on May 11, 2013 at the club. This clinic provides an introduction to competitive Benchrest shooting. The focus will be on short range (100-200 yd) group shooting using center fire BR rifles.

This clinic will appeal to the accuracy enthusiast who is serious about entering the world of competitive BR shooting. The Clinic will provide the first step of many steps in learning to shoot groups at a national and international level. The clinic is available to shooters who have not taken the clinic in previous years. You do not have to be a Rosebud member to attend.

If you are the type of shooter who takes great pains in loading your ammo, measuring your groups, recording and analyzing load data, and strives to find the next improvement in grouping capability we want you! If going to the next level means competition, then we want you!  If you have heard about BR but didn’t know how to get involved, then we want you!

The Clinic takes the better part of a full day, so you will need to plan accordingly. We will start at around 8:00 AM with the morning taken up in the clubhouse discussing the basics of Benchrest shooting, such as suitable cartridges, rifles, reloading, the match format, among many other topics.

There will be a 30 minute lunch break and then in the afternoon there will be an informal group shoot competition where the students will compete using actual BR rifles and rests, wind flags, and all other associated equipment. Each student will shoot 3 targets, and they will be scored, with aggregates given, just like a regular match.

For the informal group shoot the rifles will be provided, along with all the other equipment necessary to shoot a match. A coach will be assigned to each student. There is no need to bring a rifle or sand bags etc.

All you need to do is bring your hearing protection, eye protection, lunch and refreshments. We expect to be done at about 4:00 PM.

Depending on availability of spare rifles, coaches etc we will likely limit this to about 10 shooters. I would recommend people sign up early.

To register please contact me at the phone number or e-mail below. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
