    Another New Old Guy

    Just came back and wanted to say hello. Glad to see so many people still around. Has been a few years since I have shot. Previous interests were smallbore and fullbore silhouette, cast boolit shooting, hunting with rifle and shotgun. I even made a brief foray into 300 meter F class and smallbore handgun target shooting. Like many of you I have lived with firearms of one kind or another all my life. Began duck hunting with dad and had my first shotgun at 9 years old, though I was carrying his ducks a few years before that. Stopped most shooting because of a big reno on our farmhouse as well as a shoulder injury and problems with my hands. Coming back because of talking to Jerry mostly. I have a 6BR barrel that I would like to set up for 300 meter F Class and I still toddle (totter?) out to get some meat once in awhile, though I must admit I'm not all that enthusiastic about killing things anymore. Still want to do some work with cast boolits too and think I might join the association to punch some paper. Looking forward to catching up with some of the changes that have happened over the last 5 or 6 years. Fred

    We live about 15 km from Chase along the Chase Falkland Road tootall. The main interest here is trap shooting and 1000 meter F Class and/or bench. There is also a 100 meter rifle range and a 20 meter handgun range, both outdoor. One thing that has kind of held me up on the cast boolit interest is the lack of a 200 meter range. Apparently CBA matches are shot at both 100 and 200 meters. There are ranges within 50 km at both Heffley and Kamloops that go out 500 meters, but I found that I didn't often get in to use them after I moved out here. I'm not aware of cast bullet benchrest matches being held at either one. Too bad you are far away Ben. Maybe you should move out here. As you can see there is alot of potential real estate to set up a CBA Benchrest match. I suspect if you tried guys would come out of the woodwork. I know I would. Fred
