ORSA - Ontario Rifle Shooters Association / ORSA'S Fall Final
« Last post by JDoucette on October 17, 2023, 05:17:27 AM »
Elmira Rod & Gun Club hosted ORSA'S "Fall Final" shoot this past weekend.
12 brave souls showed up to battle the unpredictable winds that show up in the fall at Elmira, and we weren't disappointed.  George and Vera Carter weren't seemed to be bothered by the wind, they just stuffed in more powder and took the early lead on Saturday morning. Stan "the man" hanging around!
Mark Robson put together the heavy gear, and took honors with a nice .2346 agg in the afternoon HV. Stan again hanging around!
Sunday came and all  H*LL broke loose. Flag tails standing straight up, switching with every blow, cold and damp. It was frustrating, but that is Benchrest !!!!
Stan Walter took the morning matches with a impressive .2667 agg. In any condition, that is great shooting.
Robbie MacLennan got some lunch into him, and threw down a .2853 agg to take top honors in the 200yd LV
When the rain stopped, and the trophies handed out, Stan Walter was again on top with the 2-gun. His second 2 gun in the last two shoots. Congratulations Stan on a great year of shooting!!!!

Thank you to Elmira Rod & Gun, and it's membership for hosting ORSA's shoots for this past season. WE hope we can continue on next year, shooting at this great facility
Thank you to the volunteers.
Target Crew- Peter Pomerleau, Mathew Leclair,  and Adel Hijazi,

Club Events / Mission - October 2023 Benchrest Group & Score at 300
« Last post by mdumont on October 08, 2023, 09:07:14 PM »
For a change of pace, we decided to shoot our combined Group and Score 300 yard match.  In this format, we hang both a Group and a 200 yard Score target at 300 yards.  You have 14 minutes to complete both targets, and we repeat the process 5 times for the complete match. 

A thin turnout of 5 shooters got beautiful fall weather and very mild conditions. 

With Pete away, Art handled the targets while Joe took our money and called the match. 

Our next match is November 5th, and we'll be back to shooting Score at 100 and 200 yards. 

Because it is hard to compare Group and Score results, we adopt a scoring system where a shooter gets 1 point for each person with a lower score / group size in a particular match.  These scores are tallied and the one with the most points wins. 

Here are the results:

Team Canada used First Choice Bore Solvent from Plenty O Patches, as did Team USA throughout the tournament. A great solvent made right here in Canada. Now that the Americans are using it, I expect Dean will be ramping up production!

We also used HWP barrels, another great made in Canada product.

March Scopes Canada is a terrific supporter of Team Canada and we are pleased to use their March 48X High Master on our rifles.
