It’s military surplus ammo that should go bang every time you squeeze the trigger. As for accuracy....I suspect you’ll get what you pay for.

I’ve seen a few guns shoot that stuff around 2 moa at 100m. If you have a decent rifle it would be worth it to get some more accurate ammo.
Thank you!

Truck is packed, Impact books are loaded up, just gotta gas up on the highway. I’m looking at the forecast for the weekend in Garrison Petawawa and it looks like a warm weekend and sunny for the most part. GTA is forecasting showers and a chance of a TShower for S Ontario. Who knows eh? Be ready for anything.
I do know TheDuck always keeps a set of snowshoes handy in his Dodge Caravan unit!!
Quesada Burrito at 1900 hours for those in the immediate area. Sometimes a crew of you shooters get together at the local Kelsey’s here in Petawawa!
Now for the shopping types, google search Full Spectrum Gear on Victoria Street, and also, Millbrook Tactical (they close at 5 PM )
See you folks on the weekend!
Cheers, Barney

last clinic I tried some to see how it compared to the IVI and Dominion 7.62 NATO I had used in the past. It was better, but every 4 or 5 rounds would be a flyer, and the groups were not that great compared to the Federal Match I've been using the last few matches.
it will be fine if you are just starting PR, but you will eventually want to get something better as you improve.
What rifle do you have? Do you know the rifling twist rate?

The results are up in post number two of this thread!!
I hope everyone got home okay without any grief on the roads but we all know that the GTA area shooters have to deal with all the returning cottage traffic! Hope all is well.
I’ve shamelessly stolen these words and the credit belongs to others and not me, I’m not THAT smart...
“If you want to be GREAT, be Grateful!!” Truer words could not have been said...
* I’m grateful to Garrison Petawawa Gun Club President ChalkRiver2, we do great work together, yes we are regimental brothers, our best days are NOT behind us because we still have much work to do
* I’m grateful to our sentry Heather since she fulfills a crucial role, many of you don’t know this but her alternate role is to maintain comms with Range Control...that frees me up to ,do what I do best, and that’s to tell stale jokes on the firing line!
* I’m grateful for the dudes at Range Control because they ensure a very smooth process for obtaining our vehicle passes and facilitate a fast march off
* I’m super grateful for my butts officers for organizing you target pullers, these extra duties they perform are crucial to my matches. In the ORA I was a dedicated ButtsO and for a few years my role did not allow me to shoot at all, so I had to be a paid staff member for their SR matches especially during the transition from DCRA SR rules to CAFSAC rules back in 2010
* I’m grateful for the attitudes all the shooters displayed while working at target presentation, it was flawless. Thanks!
* I’m grateful for parents who bring their kids to me so that I can teach them right as well as corrupt their thinking...I will make Dirty Patricias out of them...just look at Callsign22!! Your kids might turn out like Morgan and Me!
* I’m grateful that Callsign22 was able to come out and join us for two days of trigger time...he has NEVER take a shot from his belly in three deployments! All his successful encounters were done from the standing position...I better tell that to the Target Rifle and FClass shooters over at the DCRA and ORA Hahahaha
Okay, many of you drove a great distance to shoot with us in Garrison Petawawa Bravo Range....what’s your take away from this weekend?
Cheers, Barney

I enjoyed being paired with Chris W. When you get paired with an above average shooter, it forces you to up your game.
Calling the dance in the butts was a great experience, made better by having a cooperative bunch presenting targets. Thanks to Shelldrake for his guidance regarding the rules, and Chris W leading the cleanup and target dressing while I listened to comms during the 600.
I also realized all the foam and duct tape on my “economy” setup got pretty mooshy above 24 degrees. Maybe time for some bondo.
Ray-Vin scope stands are the bomb. Anyone tired of their tripod should just go Ray-Vin.
223 Remington works fine, I just need to react quicker to my spotter’s wind call, as I got caught waiting too long a few times.
I hope to make it out in August. See you then.

Nothing say “I Love You” like being schooled by your wife at 500m. Did I mention that she had never touched off a centrefire rifle, or cycled a bolt before? Yeah, I failed to mention that Barney, didn’t want you to get antsy. 
What another great weekend of Barney’s PR hosted at Petawawa. Huge thanks to Barney, ChalkRiver2 and super-sentry Heather, couldn’t do it without you. Very happy to see familar faces and some new (and young) ones too, I trust everyone learned something about themselves and their rigs. Hope to see you all again in the future.

Speaking of “up” ing your game, and you guys came in second place there, PatM or extremacanuck....
When you help others on the line , THAT effort alone will UP your game. It’s one of the reasons I’m loving my new role in life as a Match Director. I could die happy right now because nothing thrills me more that seeing a guy like sidetrack shoot a 50.4V at 600m especially when he was experiencing scope doubts at 200m. I was in pain feeling his struggles, but we turned things around for him at the 500m and 600m mounds

Once again another steller weekend on the Range in Garrison Petawawa. Hosted by Pet Gun Club Pres Chalkriver2 and Match Director Barney.
Thankful these 2 guys schedule these weekends throughout the season.
Thanks to all who show up and work hard to set up and tear down Range/Butts.
Great to see friends from over the years!! Since these PR shoots have been happening.
A very solid and excellent group of people who come out. Always look forward to seeing everyone when I make it to Pet myself.
Thanks to Danny's for providing the best Prime Rib you can find in the World!
Another awesome weather weekend too. Lots of sunshine.
See you all in August.

do you ever run the newbie clinic at CFB Borden ?

A good time was had by all as the saying goes. It was a fluke Diamond Duck and I got first place. I had forgot to dial up my elevation for the 200M so lost points there. It was not a fluke TRDJer got first as an individual with the time he puts in with his rifle.
I am grateful for the relaxed manner in which the weekend is held. It is not that it is unsafe and folks goof off. It is the lack of drama at Petawawa that is the usual part of one organizations matches I have attended I appreciate.

Trying to manipulate these pictures can get annoying....
YES back in 2014 when I WAS the Match Director for the ORA. I just ran a newbie clinic in Garrisson Petawawa on 26-27 March. It was a large crew but we all got in the trigger time.
And this is what the firing line looked like...
We ran all 12 target lanes. Big thanks to my helpers.
Cheers, Barney

Another great weekend with fellow shooters.
I'm grateful for:
-Barney, Morgan and Heather for working together to put on another great clinic.
-Callsign22 for being so willing to impart his knowledge.
-Everyone for keeping atmosphere relaxed.
-Lee for the ice packs and cold drink.
-Scotiabank for the credit they give me.
-Time spent with family.
-A wife that lets me still enjoy my hobbies even though we have a four month old.
Now lets hope the next shoots aren't that hot. It makes me tempted to paint everything white or grey.

Hahahaha I’m still working on completing this season without any incidents or cancellations or unforeseen situations.....
Just come out and shoot for the weekend. Actually I’m debating with my crew whether I should even deliver a dedicated two day PR clinic. Frankly the arrangement we have right now is the best of ALL our worlds . So right now I’m not rushing to do a two day clinic.
We have had many rookie shooters turn up on the Saturday of our match/clinic weekend and have experienced success along the way. What’s not to like?
Cheers, Barney
