2019 BCRA Service Rifle Provincials are being held on Vancouver Island this year

[Gunnerlove]

With the temporary closure of Vokes range, Service Rifle provincials will be held onn Heals Range in Saanich BC for the first time in decades.
The match will be held 1-2 June with a practice May 19th. Entries are available on the BCRA webpage.

Heals is a very sheltered 400m range so I expect some good scores.

And a well done job it was!

 

[TacticalTeacher]

Thanks for running the butts for the 39 Bde matches!

Honestly without an experienced and dedicated hand down there, the entire match woulda/ coulda / mighta been a ShztShow!!

And that’s coming from one Match Director to another!

Cheers, Barney

Or sit on the couch and score lower than the guy with the NEA. I will be no where near a couch.

 

[Rich LPS]

No I'm coming! But brining my MRR haha.

PS: My HK disease is alive and well though!

 

[Gunnerlove]

Lol. See you there.

Had a dozen people out for the practice Sunday at Heals. Multi million dollar range with 24 lanes. Funny that a 66 year old is still doing rundowns with his Hbar Stag yet the biggest issue for so many black rifle owners is getting the correct forge marks on a front sight base for whatever.

Is there usually time for out of towners to verify zeros at the provincials themselves ?

 

[Gunnerlove]

We shoot single shot, indicated deliberates at 200, 300 and 400m. If you have something resembling a 100m zero you will be just fine.

Thank you !
I'm something of a stickler for being sure of my zeros prior to attending an event. It might not make a difference, but I wanna do as well as possible☺
How many sighters are typically allowed at each range ?

 

[njohnson]

If I recall correctly you get 2 sighters for the deliberate and rapid stages at each range. If you have a decent 100 yard zero you will be fine and I’m sure others can give you a rough dope for come ups as you move back from range to range.

 

[Gunnerlove]

We understand that many people don't have access to longer ranges and allow 5 to reduce the barrier to entry.

That's an excellent idea, as those without the ability to do a practice run are at a disadvantage.
I'm planning for next June--trying to find a good rifle ammo combo.

Shooting the match with cheap 55gr this year will do more for your score next year than finding a magic super accurate load ever will.
People worry about getting sub MOA yet miss standing at 100 on an 18MOA target after a little run down.

With the current government who says there will be a match next June?

Excellent points X2 !

Good match this weekend. Our oldest competitor was 70 years old. Just saying, woodlands camo, a borrowed upper and making hits at 400m. I was 5th with a 552/600 but everyone that shot was a winner this weekend.
