Team Canada Sponsors for WBC in France in 2023

[rpollock]

Team Canada has garnered a number of Sponsorships to assist with the costs of attending this event, for that I expressly want to thank the following entities:

Alberta Provincial Rifle Association https://www.albertarifle.com/
Rosebud Silhouette & Benchrest Club https://rosebudsilhouetteandbenchrestclub.wildapricot.org/
Bench Rest Shooters Canada https://benchrestforum.ca/index.php?board=2.0
Plenty O Patches https://www.plentyopatches.com/
Hugh Williamson Precision https://www.hwprecision.ca/
Nomad Aviation https://www.nomad-aviation.com/
Pollock Aviation  https://pollockaviation.com/
Stinger Ballistics https://stingerballistics.com/
Jiffy Lube https://www.jiffylube.ca/
Kenora - Lake of the Woods Gun Club https://lwgc.ca/
Selkirk Game & Fish https://www.selkirkgameandfish.ca/

All in, the cost for Team Canada to attend this event is in the neighbourhood of $70,000.  Once we factor in flights, hotels, entry fees, bus transportation, etc for 12 shooters, it adds up very quickly.

If any company or individual has an interest in helping out financially, the team members would really appreciate it! Interested parties should contact me at rickpollock@shaw.ca

Team Canada is pleased to announce two additional sponsors of the Team Canada effort to reach the podium in France:

Mission & District Rod & Gun Club https://missionrodandgun.com/
March Scopes Canada - The Canadian Distributor for March Scopes https://marchscopes.ca/

This means a lot to the team and we are grateful for all the support we have received.

The World Benchrest Team wishes to recognize the generous support offered by The Mission & District Rod & Gun Club through a cash donation to help offset the costs of attending this event in France in late September of this year. To send 12 shooters and all their gear to Europe is no small undertaking and without the support of sponsors it would be questionable if we could send even a team. The attached picture is of the 6 shooters on the World  Team who attended this most recent shoot in Mission along with MDRGC President -Tex.

L-R Allan Mantler (MDRGC member), Mark Dumont (MDRGC Member and match winner), Tyler Edmunds, Tex, Doug Thompson, Vic Edmunds, Rick Pollock. We couldn't be prouder of these guys!

The World Benchrest Team wishes to recognize the Selkirk Game & Fish www.selkirkgameandfish.ca for their generous contribution in support of the Team. The support of the various clubs and organizations has been very helpful in making this trip a reality.

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.
