ORSA - Ontario Rifle Shooters Association / Hoarst Brotherston Memorial Shoot

« Last post by JDoucette on September 15, 2025, 03:00:52 AM »

Elmira Rod & Gun Club hosted the Hoarst Brotherston Memorial shoot this past weekend. Though we were few in numbers, we were many with laughs.
It was a beautiful fall weekend in Elmira with the leaves starting to change color, and the wildlife getting busy for what is to come!
Being short on helpers, and shooters, we ran with one relay, with lots of time in between matches for reloading and visiting.
I have to send out a big thank you to the three helpers we had this weekend.
Our match director Paul Connor who did it all, with registration, scoring, target crew, and shuttle service.
Also Steve Hornsby our chief cook and bottle wash doing what Steve does best, and Cole Timbers with clean up.

Somehow I seem to have forgotten to thank Stewart Forrest. Stewart comes out on the Fridays before the shoots and helps with setup and lawn and tree maintenance. He has been helping for a lot of years and I apologize for not mentioning him along with the other helpers.

Thank You Stewart!!!!

Our last shoot is scheduled for Oct-4-5. Contact Brian for registration.
See You all in October.

I believe they go for about $2000, used in good condition. This is comparable to what they sell for in the US as well, when factoring in the exchange rate.

Club Events / Mission - September 2025 Benchrest Score Shoot

« Last post by mdumont on September 08, 2025, 12:33:12 PM »

Nine shooters gathered to shoot a Score match as we usually do in the fall. Conditions were fairly mild under cloudy skies and haze, although there were a few wind surprises.

Results were very close, with an interesting tie for the 200 yard agg. Both Pete and Don shot identical scores for the three papers, so it was necessary to go to the first bullseye on the first paper where Don prevailed with a 21 while Pete scored a 20. Either way, a fine job of shooting on both their parts.

Thanks to Art who called the match and did the scoring and to Pete, Don and Vlad who ran the targets. Thanks also to all the others who participated.

Next match is October 5, where we'll shoot Group and Score at 300 yards, our own version of the Tackdriver match.

...and this month's results - 100 Yards:
