Well, our F-Class "exclusive" match has come and gone and exceeded all expectations for enthusiastic particpation! To think that we even faced cancellation due to low numbers!

Well that certainly wasn't our problem this weekend! We had a total of 40 shooters on hand for this match, and I could not have been more thrilled at the participation by new shooters. It is even more interesting to note that we managed these sorts of numbers even with a significant number of "regulars" away for hunting season.

Saturday was almost perfect for the two relays at 300M. Denis Lapierre shot a perfect possible 75-15V

The wind picked up slightly for the latter part of the day with about 2-3 MOA of wind at 500M.

The crew of target pullers was superb, and represented the best I have ever had at a match. Their efficiency allowed us to finish 7 relays in plenty of time to shoot our fun team match. Particpants were allowed to form groups of 4 shooters, and each shooter shot 10 rounds for score. There were 5 teams participating, and I was thrilled to "coach" our team to 1st place199/200 with 23V's. Of course, guess who was the only shooter to drop a point?!?!:redface:

Sunday was all shot at 500, and conditions were sligthly trickier. A few points dropped along the way, but our own Tack-243 "Bucky" nailed the Sunday Agg with 150 - 21V, shooting in only his first season.

When the dust settled and the scores were added up, the top match scores were as follows: (out of a possible 375 - 75V)


Benchrest...

1st - Wendy Hiller.........373-52V
2nd - Jim Jardine...........370-42V
3rd - Mick McPhee..........368-26V

FTR


1st - Marlin Katchmar.....371-43V
2nd - Caroline Chupa......365-32V
3rd - Darcy Spenst..........364-46V

F-Open

1st - Ian Hames.............374-50v
2nd - Denis lapierre........373-55V
3rd - Ron Hiller...............372-45v

The First Place winners in each category have their names put on the Doug Fraser memorial Trophy, which was presented by his son Steve, who is himself an FTR shooter.

We have used to proceeds from the team shoot entry fees and these will be applied towards the Canadian National F-Class team fundraiser,and between donations entry fees and the profits from our Concession, we will be forwarding approximately $425 to our National F-Class team.

here are the match scores

Super Weekend

A great big thanks to Ian and his crew for the "Running of the V Bulls" event.We had a fantastic weekend. The target pullers did a spectacular job> Thanks Again, looking forward to the next one
Ron & Wendy
 
Thanks KTSA and Ian. Home about 11:30 snowed from the east park gates all the way to Leduc.
The only thing I'd like to see is more targets. If things keep going the way they are, your going to need them. Great fun at Montana's even with crappy food.
Now I'm doing the work I should have done Saturday night. See you all next year.
Cheers, Glen
 
My favourite shoot. Here's what 40 happy shooters and target pullers look like:

Maybe we'll see your face there next year?
 
Great event and the storms kept away.

To the pullers, excellent job and it sure made the relays a great experience.

Nice to see so many new faces. The sport continues to grow and Ian, you know what that means.....

MORE TARGETS :)

Great off season to everyone and hopefully, see even more shooters next year.

Jerry
 
Thanks everyone! I too would like more targets, and we left room for more, but I'd like to see longer distances, and that ain't gonna happen.
 
Ian, Thank you for a great weekend.....and thank you to everyone for treating us new shooters, like Family......even if we come from Alberta.:cheers:
 
The weather sucked.

The food sucked.

The people sucked.

The match sucked.

I'll be back next year :D





Kidding aside, it was nice to see many new shooters at their first (or nearly first) match doing so well. I lost count as to how many of Ian's guns were on the line at any given time.

Thanks to all at the match at Kamloops on the weekend! As a first time shooter in F-open I was a little nervous. All the folks where GREAT!!!. They made me feel at ease, help and tips from so many of them, and everyone was so friendly. To all who ran this shoot, my hat's off to you. Extremely well run, safe, and FUN!! To all the folks I met, look forward to seeing you at matches next year cause !@$%^^ it all, now I'm hooked! I can't begin to thank all of you enough whom I met, helped me and ran the shoot. What a fanastic experience! My best to you all!
Regards, Will
 
Hi Will,

You're welcome man!! You're one of "us" now.... no need to worry about feeling like an outsider!!!

I look forward to hooking up with you again in the new season. FYI, that Tikka is one helluva sweet looking rifle. That Robertson Stock is wicked!

Hey Lyle! Yeah, I traded some guy a few bullets for it! :D I also spoke with Mick today about your build and I have a pipe for you, but I'll send you the specs.

Thanks Fellas!

Ian
