1000 yard Competition in Northern BC still happeneing?

[Jimmy767]

Gday, about 15 years ago there was a 1000 yard shooting competition across a lake up near Smithers BC.
Does anyone here know if this is still taking place? More importantly, a contact #?
Thanks
Jim

Tweedsmuir rod and gun holds a 1000 yard shoot near Burns Lake if that helps

Try Tukii Lodge north of Smithers. They usually hold their 1000 yd. shoot around this time.

 

[oops]

It is not any more...like most events....the people that look after them get burnt out and they just stop happening.With all these "new"shooters(new PALs) and are younger(20's ish) they seem to be more intresed in Tatica-cool and blasting zombie targets.Too bad....

Jerry (MysticPlayer) use to organize a long range shoot near Summerland, BC, the last one was a couple of years ago. It got cancelled one year and I have never heard about it again. I imagine that the reason he doesn't anymore as he has a business now and has no time to do so. It's too bad as the year it got cancelled was to be my first year and intro into long range.

You're thinking of the Burns Lake shoot, but I can't help with contact info. Send a PM to Eagleye, I'm sure he can provide the info.

Burns Lake 1000M shoot is May 25 & 26th, May 24th is practice day & morning of the 25th for sighting in.
Tweedsmuir Park Rod and Gun Club has a web sight with all the info.

going to be there with bells on, likely won't have the equipment finally tuned, rather purchasing lotto tickets and pixy dust

Speaking for the boys from Whitehorse, all had a great time and we will all return!
Food as usual is fantastic.
It may a be a competition but the friendship and courtesy shown is incredible which has kept me coming to Burns Lake for the last seven years.
Thanks to all that made this year one to remember!

Thank you to all those that traveled from the Yukon, Alberta, Saskatchewan and all over B.C. to make this 1000 yard shoot such a succes. It was good to see the return of so many competitors and welcome new shooters to our shoot. All the results are posted on our web site http://tprg.ca/index.html in the 1000 yard shoot section.
Again thank you from the Tweedsmuir Park Rod & Gun Club
