As usual the plans are to hold a short AGM meeting on Friday after practice.

Currently there is not a lot to discuss.  The main thing will be to go over Financials, some World's discussion and what ever else gets submitted to Vicky.

If anyone has anything they want clarified or discussed Please forward it on to Vicky.

A very small organization does not take a lot to run.  I will have more time the end of June when I hookup with Dave and Vicky in St. Louis at the East/West.

I am sure Rick will have the match info up shortly for the BRSC Nationals at Rosebud the July 1st Long Weekend.

See you soon.

Did not have an extra scope so I pulled my VX 3 8.5-25 off of my Rem 700 .223 and put it on my customized CZ 452.  Went to the farm and sighted it in.  Decided to give it a run on a score target at 50 yards today.  This is the first and only target I shot with this particular brand of ammo.  Winds were manageable from about 1-2:30.  

Figure I will take this and 2 more and I will be very happy.  Think I need to order more ammo......

Not bad for a CZ with a few modifications....

As in the photo.  Filled.  Hardly used. Bunny ears with hard Leather bottom.

Protektor Website price is 44.00US.  Asking 45.00 Cdn + shipping.

On behalf of the Selkirk Benchrest Shooters I want to thank those who made the trex to MB to compete in the 2015 Nationals.  

When I say Nationals many around the world will say what?  only 17 shooters..... well we are a VAST country just like many BR countries.  We are a small group but love the game.

To those that came I hope we did our best to run a good match.  In time I am sure it will even get better.  

For now I just have a picture of the winners and know Rick will post the results as soon as he can after I send him the PDF files.  I can say that practice day on Friday the winds were sleeping.  Come Saturday, the Selkirk wind Gods were upon us.  Regardless Rick Pollock had a rifle that was working or maybe he had lucked out and found the honey hole........  Regardless, he was able to figure things out quite well at 100.  Saturday evening about 1.5 hours after we were done shooting saw a torrential downpour.  Thankfully most of us were inside enjoying a beverage or 2 or dinner.

Sunday came the return of the calmer winds.  I know a lot of us were hoping for more but it would not happen.  Lack of wind and a lot of funny things happening on the targets left many of us scratching our heads.  

Anyway, I can type more and more but I am not a secretary.  I am a service tech......



Back L to R:  Dan Opel, Dan Henderson, Dwayne Cyr, Murray Benson
Front L to R:  Rick Pollock, Hugh Williamson, Phil Nick

What I can say is that Hugh Williamson is the defending BRSC Nationals Champion and defended it in great fashion winning the 2015 Nationals.  Rick Pollock finished 2nd, Dan Henderson, Phil Nick and Dan Opel round off the top 5.  Hugh takes home the Charlie Womack Memorial Trophy (middle)

The PPC Cup (aka Prairie Provincial Cup) was taken by team Alberta which consisted of a stacked team of the top 3 shooters this weekend in Hugh, Rick and Dan H.  The PPC Cup is the trophy on the right side which was started and donated by the Regina Benchrest Club which unfortunately no longer is with us......  Second was team Ontario with Phil, Dwayne and Gord.  Third was Manitoba with Grant, Larry (new 1st time shooter), myself.

Hello all.  I just want to remind everyone that July 4-5 will be the BRSC Nationals in Selkirk, Manitoba.

Friday will be practice day.  If you plan on coming sooner please let me know and I will draft up a letter for you.

Friday evening will be the AGM.  I know we ALL hate the AGM but I PROMISE to keep it as short as possible.  There is some growth in BRSC so there is more information to share about our growth than actual business.  This is all in part to the tireless work of Joe Mendham and Jim Latham in BC who held there first ever Registered 1 day HV BR Group shoot earlier this month.  I beleive we gained 9 new members from this shoot.  The Rosebud gang is also working tirelessly at there BR 101 School.  They also may have some other news to share at the AGM.  Finally to Dave Holmes and Vicky in Ontario who are working in the East to bring BRSC back.  So things are definately looking up.

Saturday will be the usual course of fire.

Sat AM:  LV 100
Sat PM:  HV 100

Sun AM:  HV 200
Sun PM:  LV 200

The awards ceremony to follow after completion.   I am hoping to get this concluded as quickly as possible so as to let our travelers begin there journey home as this is not a long weekend. 

If you want to camp, you are more than welcome.  There are outdoor toilets but I am sure I can make arrangements for you to use the running water facilities in the club house.

In closing, if you are paid up member of BRSC and have any questions or suggestions for the upcoming AGM or shoot, please feel free to call/text me at 1-204-570-1956 or e-mail at cyanchyc@live.ca.

I will be getting out an AGM Agenda in the next week or so to those who I have e-mails for. 

Thanks for your time.

Jo-Brook imported 25,000 Column bullets.  I believe there is 14,000 left.  I guarantee you this is the BEST price in Canada. 

You want some.  You want them ALL.  The Banks have LOTS of money you can borrow. 

Call and talk to Travis at 204-727-3552.

This lot of bullets weighs in at a WHOPPING 64.25 grains.

Not sure if you guys seen on Benchrest Central but he pased away May 2.

It would be nice if someone has a picture or 2 of Chris when he won the BRSC Nationals that we could share.  If someone has one and can e-mail it to be I would put it up on BR Central.

Will miss spending time with him at the range.

RIP Chris

Good evening everyone.  As you know 2013 has come and gone along with a lot of paid up memberships.  I ask that you please do your best to renew before your first upcoming match.  I know first hand that there is nothing worse than trying to run a match, load, shoot, put out fires, and collect memberships all the while trying to have a good shoot yourself.  This is one less thing that we have to worry about come match day which  makes it easier for you and those trying to collect.  In other words, MYSELF. 

Some of you may not be current active members of BRSC, but I am hopeful that you will continue to show your support in some manner.  The support that I am looking for is that past members continue to show there support of the BRSC by purchasing an annual membership.  As you are all well aware, the only monies collected to run BRSC are the membership fees, match fees, and the occasional measuring challenge.  It is a small price to help keep the BRSC going and growing.  Our yearly expenses are about the same as what we collect.  This is my appeal to you.  I know it is a lot to ask for when one may not be competing but I am hopeful that maybe one day we will see you again at the firing line.  We are never to old to play the game.  Walt Berger is a prime example.  He continues to show people how to shoot.
 
If you know of anyone that may not see this please forward this on to them.  It would be nice to see the membership grow.  If you are unsure if you are current or not just give Paul Ross a call or me a PM.  I believe there is only 11 members who are current for 2014/2015.
 
Finally, I think we should all thank Rick Pollock for his unselfish time in creating a Forum for the voice of Benchrest in Canada.  Rick took it upon himself to create the forum and the BRSC webpage.  Thanks Rick for being a HUGE part of the sport and taking time to promote Bench Rest in Canada.
 
See you at the firing line soon.
