BRSC - Benchrest Shooters Canada / Re: Alberta Provincials

Good day today. Notable feats: Wayne Miller turned a nice round .087", Tony Gauthier won the LV 100 and Dan Opel won the HV 100. Weather was nice in the morning, but turned cool and rainy in the afternoon. Full details and pictures to follow tomorrow's activities.

Voice over is in German but you get the drift. Indoor trap and skeet, plus rifle and pistol. Very nice!

Play the video at the link.

Mike,

Cochrane is your best bet for hotels closest to the range. There is a Sandman, Days Inn, and a Super 8 there.
You can camp at the range. No hookups at all.
I will be there Friday mid day. People who want to practice or camp should let me know so we can let them in.
Bring bug spray and sunscreen. Also bring food and drinks. No lunches provided at this match.

Adriaan, I looked at that route as well. It is the backup route if the RCMP won't let me use the roads East from HWY 41. Probably have to use the truck against the gophers, as I won't be stopping!

Lyle I have a #3 in my press. You are welcome to try it. Just drop your bushing of choice in and see if it works for you. My spare is a #2 die, but it doesn't sound like that will help.

I have an e-mail from Wayne, he thinks my detour will work.

Looks like Mother Nature is going to mess with us some more! As if squirrely winds aren't enough...

Those of us coming from Calgary need ideas for bypassing the washed out sections of the Trans Canada East of Medicine Hat. There are precious few roads to choose from, and the proposed detour is about an extra 400 - 500 kms!

You guys in Southern Sask or veterans of this trip, can I not take HWY 41 (North) just past Medicine Hat, then cut East towards Hatton, then on to HWY 21 South, and back on the Trans Canada 1 just past Maple Creek?

I am not going to make a 400-500 km detour! There must be a shorter way!

Need to know by Thursday!

BRSC - Benchrest Shooters Canada / Re: 2010 Nationals
« on: June 19, 2010, 08:29:57 PM »
My objective in participating at the Nationals would be to do my best shooting in harmony with others and see where I place. I don’t expect to win any trophies but I do want my score to count even if it is in last place. It would be unacceptable for me to use illegal equipment or to benefit from any form of charity in applying the rules even if I am not a top competitor. I want to own the result of my shooting at the Nationals although there likely won’t be much to boast about. If the term “bragging rights” applies then by all means call it that. If I win hardware I want to be able to take it home.

As far as shooting just to shoot, my home range is 40 minutes from my house and is open 7 days a week. I can shoot all I want anytime around here. After driving a few thousand kilometers, to shoot just for the sake of shooting lacks appeal even if the trip is combined with other types of activities. Your comments certainly make me feel welcome as a shooter but not as a competitor. It is irritating enough to know that some of my fellow competitors already consider my forearm adapter illegal for me to stay away. I am looking for fun and harmony not an argument.

Hopefully this answers the questions you have asked. I remain completely baffled as to how the IBS or NBRSA rules can be interpreted as outlawing any kind of attachment to the forearm. An official ruling would be more than welcome at this point and would likely benefit us all.

You have had an official ruling of sorts, relayed to you from an NBRSA Director that your mod is legal  (A much faster response than can usually be hoped for from the NBRSA. Thanks to Bill for looking into this). I fully understand brighter minds see it differently than I do. That is why I created this forum.

It sounds like you have spent a lot of time and effort contemplating the rules and then built something you are confident meets the rules. I say go for it. No one will stop you from competing with it. This is no different a process than anyone of us go through when deciding what to build next for sanctioned competition.

Who has refused you at the Nationals? National events are all comers matches. Anyone can enter. You asked for an opinion, I provided one. This is merely my interpretation of the rule book. You and others disagree, which is great, as it exposes some of the weaknesses in the way the rules are written. I am not the referee, I don't determine whose rifles are legal, I don't write the rules and I don't represent the BRSC or NBRSA etc.

Mike, I understand what you are saying here. But, I do think you would lose this argument at a sanctioned match. The rule book is quite specific about any addition to the forearm meant to provide a guiding means or improve the contact between the stock and the sandbag. Don't let this discourage you. Shoot the rifle without the addition to the forearm. I would get a hunter BR style front bag and use that. It will better conform to the round stock.

In the NBRSA it is covered under the definitions section, item 16 "Guiding Means". Unfortunately this means anything bolted to the front forearms is not legal for the LV, HV classes or Sporter class. It is OK in Unlimited. I think IBS is the same, but I don't have a current rule book to look.

It is a slippery slope isn't it?

I am not sure going to the 222 will net you a significant gain. It may only be marginally more accurate than the 223AI. If it is a live varmint rifle then I would leave it as is.

If you want to turn it into a BR rifle, and to really net a gain, consider having the boltface opened up to a PPC and go from there. Somebody more knowledgeable than me in gunsmithing should be able to confirm the viability of this on a DGA action.

I have a message from a shooter to see if I can help him find a rifle to get going in BR. 6PPC, LV configuration, with or without scope.  I know you guys have older rifles in the safe gathering dust. Trying not to blow the budget here. Let me know what you have.
