Only a few days away.  Looks like it is still going to be wet and rainy.  Rain starting today with it getting heavier throughout the weekend.  Bring your boots,
raingear, and umbrellas......😭😭

FYI, the only rooms available in Selkirk as of yesterday the Canalta in Selkirk.

And, we are 1 week away from "Commence Fire"

Following on the heels of Rick and the Rosebud crew's successful clinics, we are going to try our hand at this.

The date is Saturday June 11, 2022.  It will be held at the Selkirk Game and Fish Range Selkirk, MB.  There will be limited space  capped at 10.  There will be no fee.

We are looking for people who are seriously interested in stepping into the Formula 1 of short range Benchrest.  See the attached poster.

Contact myself @ 1-204-570-1956 for details and registration.

When it comes to the Short range game, pretty much everyone that shoots a 6PPC in group and wants to be competitive loads at the range.  The only exception would be the 30BR.  That you could basically load develop and shoot that load pre loaded.

I have a couple Harrels throwers, and a couple digital scales.  I throw light by 1 or 2 tenths and trickle up to the weight l want.  You can use a ChargeMaster if you so desire.

Presses, Harrel or Hood or Redding or Rock Chucker.  Ideally the Harrel or Hood.  Small, light and compact.
You can use your sizer and Wilson seater with them.  You can also carry an arbor press for seating. 

When loading at the range or matches, it is keeping it as simple and compact as you can using the best equipment you can afford.  MO

Congrats to Rob Seemann on winning the 2 gun and great showing in the 3 and 4 gun.

Rick Pollock for winning the Sporter 100 and his 1st Hall of Fame point.  He also tied for 1st in the LV100 but due to count back ended in 2nd place.

Great job.

Should be able to find the other parts when you get to youtube.

I think there are non believers of cleaning that need to watch this.....

The Iosso thing is exactly what Jack and Eric say it is.  I Iosso after every agg when I shoot group with the PPC.  Score with the 30BR, I still clean but maybe after 2 or 3 targets.  You see carbon buildup in it.  Not sure how guys feel they can shoot an entire agg without.  The Iosso wipes the last bit of copper and carbon out.

Any and all of the info pertains to all levels of shooting.

After careful consideration and discussions with Grant we have decided Selkirk would not be able to host the BRSC Nationals August Long weekend.

Restrictions are loosening but not enough to be able to host a tournament.  Yes they may change in a week or 2 but the current orders announced today are in place until after August long weekend.  We are still in a state of unknowns.  As of today tournaments are NOT allowed.  It is unfortunate but it is what it is.

I will be corresponding in writing to the BRSC secretary our decision to cancel.

What is there to say?

As you may well know MB is looking like one of the last provinces to start opening up.  As of 12 AM Saturday,  outside group sizes are increasing for up to 5 people from 2 different households plus your individual household.  This is a great thing.

Grant and I have been on the fence of whether or not this will happen.  I have corresponded with a few people on this and they have asked that we hold off making a decision.  The hardest part is trying to decide how long to wait to make a decision.  We want to be fair to those that plan on traveling.

What I will say is of you have had your shot and not your second, my suggestion get the second.  If you have not heard, MB is in talks with the provinces to open up inter provincial travel with no isolation time if you have both shots.  Currently if you travel to MB you are to self isolate for 10 or 14 days.  If you have had the shots they are planning to drop that requirement.

Fingers crossed that this will pan out.
