Lower Mainland vs Vancouver Island Challenge

The Lower Mainland has challenged Vancouver Island to a shootout.

We're working on details and costs now but we have booked the event days:

1. Saturday May 7, 2022 in Courtenay; and

2. Saturday July 16, 2022 at Vancouver Gun Club.

We are still working out the scoring logistics, but this is what we know so far:

1. Both events are open to everyone. May 7 in Courtenay is their regular club day so anyone can shoot the course.

2. You must compete in both shoots to qualify for overall "event prizes", however you can shoot just one or the other for fun if you want. We will likely have Lewis class or some other prizes at both events.

3. It's a non-registered event. (Non CNSCA or NSCA)

4. Winner will be declared July 16 in Vancouver.

5. VGC will be making it a two-day event for those who want to stay over and shoot Sunday, but "event prizes" will be handed out Saturday. Sunday will be an optional fun SC/5stand/maybe meat shoot or whatever day and based on experience they will make it fun to stay over. Camping available on both sides of the pond. I suspect Courtenay may do the same.

6. We are considering also pitting squads of 5 or 6 (made up by members of both sides) to compete and have side-bet against squads from the other side. I know of one pair of squads (VI vs VAN) already for sure.

7. Costs for both events will be slightly above what the normal SC fees would be for each club. These costs will cover trophies, Lewis etc. The idea behind this is to get more shooters going to each side of the pond, not make a bunch of money.

8. Vancouver Island team name will be: VANCOUVER ISLAND PIGEON POUNDERS

9. Vancouver Island slogan will be: “ I’d hit that ! “

10. Don't know what the Mainland name is going to be…………..

11. We will likely get t-shirts with team name, slogan and a logo on them for the shoot. Therefore I need an email to fraser00@live.cawith your name and your t-shirt size asap if you want to shoot this event. Will advise costs when known.

Cheers;

NSCA Level 1 instructors course

From: Fraser Campbell <fraser00@live.ca>

Luther Cutts has offered to come to the west coat to put on a Level 1 NSCA Instructors course. Could be Van, could be the Island. See his comments below:

"I have been going back and forth with Terri in Vancouver, and she has indicated that there are a few folks there who might benefit from taking the Level I course. I was hopeful that you guys may have some insights regarding folks on the Island who might also be interested in the certification process. Things are pretty wide open right now, but if there is a chance to put a course on out there, either in Richmond or on the Island, I would be delighted to do it. And with my schedule filling up every day, if we were going to do something in the spring, now would be the time to get it into the calendar.”

"The cost for the course is $500 USD, payable to the NSCA, and a portion of my costs to get there. I don't expect my costs to be covered, as that makes it prohibitive, but something to help defray the costs would be nice. It would depend on how many people are taking the course, and discussions with everyone. Perhaps $75 per person? They are also responsible for their own costs - meals, targets, ammunition, etc. If the course is in Richmond, there would be those costs as well.”

If you are interested in taking the course (3 days I think), which by the way is full of interesting stuff even if you don’t use it for instruction, send me an email and I can hook you up with Luther, or go onto NSCA and look it up online.

Cheers;

RADIUM - Elmer Fudd 2022

Hello Shooters

We are planning on going ahead with the Elmer Fudd shoot this year on May 7 & 8. It will be 260 targets, as many rabbits as we have machines for. Entry fee has not yet been finalized. Cost of targets and food keep escalating so will be a bit more than normal. There will be a limit of 60 shooters for this event and we are about 25% booked already. If you are interested in attending please advise by email or phone and I will put you on the list. Registration forms will be sent out later. If you have already received confirmation from me that I have you on the list, there is no need to re-submit. It doesn’t look like Covid will be an issue but we can’t say that with certainty.
