agree 100%!!!
Ok so I wanna come out and play and have a few questions.
Is there a weight limit for rifles- I have a rem 308 done up that I think is about 12 lbs
I believe my trigger is over 1 kg but I don't have any way to check for sure. What if its too light? Can I still play it just won't be included in the scores?
I just need to join the bcra and submit the entry form to be allowed to shoot there?
I have one 5 shot mag, would another be a good idea? Or even a 10 shot?
What type of sling seems to work the best for this?
About how many rounds is everyone bringing?
Is there camping near by?
What did I miss
Thanks

Hello .284
I will answer the best I can. The Match Director may chime in to correct me.
For shooting tips and info I expect the experts who have been there to provide those answers. My expertise is limited to what I see from behind the registration desk.
Also please check out the 2013 BC Precision Rifle Championship Rules and Code of Conduct here: http://www.bcprecisionrifle.com/Home.html
1. Is there a weight limit for rifles- I have a rem 308 done up that I think is about 12 lbs.
Experts?
See 2.04 Rifle Class Definitions. I see no weight limit. There are other definitions that will determine which class you will be shooting in: Tactical Rifle Limited or Tactical Rifle Open. Some stages it may be preferable to have something lighter. Stage 3 has a standing position for 5 rounds. A heavy rifle/scope /bipod combination may adversely affect score. Weight may be an advantage from the farther distances.
I believe around 15 lbs for rifle weight is about average (Experts?).
2. I believe my trigger is over 1 kg but I don't have any way to check for sure. What if its too light?
Can I still play it just won't be included in the scores?
See 2.05 Trigger Testing. The 1kg (2.2 lb)minimum is set with safety parameters in mind and is not negotiable. There is lots of movement and awkward shooting stances. Too light of a trigger pull may result in an accidental discharges or negligent discharge.
Do you have a local gunshop or gunsmith that can test it for you? You may try doing the test procedure your self from 2.05. If you bring the appropriate tools with you there may be an opportunity to tune in the trigger by borrowing a gauge from one of the friendly shooters at the Sight In Day June 28. Any shooters bringing a trigger pull gauge??
3. I just need to join the bcra and submit the entry form to be allowed to shoot there?
That sounds about right. Also adhere to the Rules and Code of Conduct. Send in your BCRA application to the BCRA to get your membership number. Send in your registration after the Match Director gets the confirmation of the Range booking. It will be posted here. For restricted transport see BCRA site for ATT information for Military Ranges.
4. I have one 5 shot mag, would another be a good idea? Or even a 10 shot?
I have seen it done with a single shot and a good partner to help
.
I believe most prefer 10 round to reduce the number of mag changes as some stages have only 5 second between exposures
.
5. What type of sling seems to work the best for this?
Experts?
2.01 c. Slings-No limitation on type or style. Stage 16 Old School is shooting prone with no other rest other than sling.
6. About how many rounds is everyone bringing?
Experts?
207 required for the Match. On Sight in Day...depends if you are sighting in or using it as a warmup.
If you do 10 rounds from each distance on the walk backs, eg 10 rounds at 100m, 10 at 200m, ..etc that would add another 60 rounds.
As Ed said below, also add rounds in case of reshoots
BTW I believe in 2011 the winning team used factory ammo.
7. Is there camping near by?
Camping is not too far away. It is Canada Day long weekend so reservations need to be made early. I will be camping myself so I will post what is near by later this week.
8. What did I miss?
.........come to enjoy your self. If you are new then be prepared to have others give you tips, advise and all kinds of assistance. You will learn tons.
If you are an experienced shooter then this Match is designed to test the shooter, the spotter, the firearm and bullet performance.
Do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance or post here.

Paul, thanks very much. I wanted to make sure that I understood how things worked there. It would be my first time to that match or any other for that matter. I was interested last year but the dates didn't work for me, (and it looks as if it was cancelled) I'll shoot off an email to the director to find out how early the range is confirmed.
I'd be interested in what you find out about camping too. It would probably be a tent for me as I don't really want to remortgage the house to get the trailer on the ferry.
If anyone else has any input as to what type of sling works best for that stage feel free to speak up.

Hello 284,
Re weight limit - so long as the rifle is within the ""spirit of the match",I am willing to consider
It for the tactical class (caliber specific as well )however if a shooter shows up with. Purpose built single shot bench gun
I will NOT refuse them participation but will place them in open class - several real world
Sniper systems push 20 lbs and more fully kitted out - altimatly it comes down to match director discretion
Re trigger weight- 1 kg is the tactical class limit if your trigger is lighter and you are unwilling to adjust it ( can and has been done at match ) you will be placed in open class - provided trigger is safe !!! - match directors discretion ,as I ultimatly will be the person held responsible if something unsafe happens at the match
Re BCRA membership - yes buy your membership , and your entry fee and you are good to go
Re extra magazines- yes,yes,yes.... One magazine is tempting Murphy to get involved n your match !!! Spares are always a good idea Stuff happens you should be prepared to clear an issue and get back to winning the match
Re slings - personal choice , although I am a fan of mike millers tactical intervention slings ( widely used by real world teams/ operators )
Re ammunition- I would suggest you bring the required number of rounds to complete the match ! .. And additional number of rounds for zeroing ( additional 60= ten shots per range ) and few extra incase you are awarded a reshoot on a stage or target
Re camping - at this point NO Camping on range property ,( that might change I will keep everyone posted) there are campsites and motels locally
Paul... thank you for your input

Sadly it looks like once again will I have to miss this years match.............the senior guys at work get first crack at booking holidays, and it looks like I will be stuck being their vacation relief manning one of our railway bridges.......
Trying to get my fat rear end in gear and make it this year. If I can get out of a shift on July 1st that I said yes to last week, I just may be able to make all 3 days. It would be nice to re-connect with people this year.....If I can only make 2 days, its better than nothing.
