Rosebud Silhouette & Benchrest Club will be hosting the Alberta Provincials August 30-31st.

Last match of the year at Rosebud, don't miss it!

This will be a traditional 2-gun event with:
LV 100 yards Saturday Morning
HV 100 yards Saturday Afternoon
HV 200 yards Sunday Morning
LV 200 yards Sunday Afternoon

All matches are 5 shot groups.

There is no BBQ planned, you are on your own for food this weekend.

A reminder to let everyone know you DO NOT need the K Country Park Pass to shoot at Rosebud.

Camping is available, contact me for details.

I would also ask that you contact me to let me know you are coming, that helps plan for helpers and relays if I know how many are attending.

Thanks,

Rick

Another Eric video with Jack Neary. Good talk about getting new shooters in to the sport and mentoring them.

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.

More results.

Once again, the usual unsteady lake winds wreaked havoc.
