It was a great time. Always a blast to shoot with the living legends of BR. I encourage anyone to go next year. You will learn more in a week than in a year of BR back home.

A cool morning at Hugh's trailer.



Lots of iron there!



Rob Seemann, hard core to end.



Rick checking our flags one last time.



Cal behind the rifle eyeballing while we set up our flags.



Go Canada Go!



She ain't much but she's mine.



Dan Opel is a little camera shy it turns out.



Me with an early start at the bench.

     I'm surprised to see people in front of the firing line with shooters at guns on the benches.

It's perfectly normal to see that during a match when a cease fire is in force. Bolts are out of the rifles during this time which is THE cardinal rule of benchrest when handling your rifle.

John the T-Shirts were a last minute thing.  Hugh, Rick, Dan Opel and myself were on the 4-man HV team.  Rick came up with the name.  I thought why not have some fun and get shirts made up.  Thanks to Big Bear Cresting in Brandon for the shirts on short order.

They were a hit with the shooters as well as the Canadian flag.  There were comments about flying the flag in a part of the US where we did not fight the Americans and beat them.  It was the best time ever.

 Calvin, it is good to see the Canadian humor is still alive and well. I'll bet you all had a blast down there.
