Rifle Rodeo Provincial Grand Champion

Well it only took 7 months for the Ft. Mac group to get the stuff mailed to me so here it is.


That is my keeper award for keeping up with the pack in Ft. Mac, putting in an average show in Ponoka, and getting the high score in Drayton Valley.

Also got these as well.

Left to Right:
Annual Provincial Champion trophy
2nd place in the Hunter class (ft. Mac)
Annual Best Overall trophy in Drayton Valley.

Now for the sad news, I wont be able to make all three shoots this year as work is skuttling Ponka, therefore I am hoping many of the AO gang will come out and show the rest what they are made of.

remind me not to **** you off


Congrats!!!! That's awsome stuff!!!!

In all honesty, I can't shoot worth a pinch if I get all hyped up, just ask my hunting partners.

Congrats there Dick.

That is some serious bling Richard....congratulations!!!

I hope that's a blush icon.

Good shoot'n! Can I ask for some details as I've never heard of this competion. I know I need to get out of the cave more often, but can you tell me what you shoot, guns, calibers ranges ect? Too cool!

I'll PM you 209x50

Thanks!

Yes i would like to know also what's its all about any info thanks.

Because of the demand I will post it here, and perhaps one of the Mods can sticky it for further refrence.

This whole provincial champion idea was spawned by the gang in Ft. MacMurray. They started a Rifle Rodeo a couple of years back, and found out that Ponoka has been putting one on for numerous years, as has been Drayton Valley.
The Ft, Mac shoot is in Early June, and when I get a hard date I'll post it.
There shoot is quite F-Class in it's styling(all shot from your belly) They have 4 classes.
Unlimited(all classes of scoped rifles) All shot prone,they shoot distances from 100 to 500meters with the aid of a front rest and rear bag.
Hunter Class (all classes of scoped rifle) shot frome prone
with the aid of of a sling only, again 100 to 500meters, just bigger targets.
Iron sight class(all classes of iron sighted rifles) prone with a sling, 100 to 500m
303 iron sight class(any manner of iron sighted 303) prone, slings, and 100 to 500m
Only the Hunter class and either the 303 or iron sight class is counted for their part of the aggragate.

The Ponoka Shoot is always on the Labour Day weekend.
They shhot a host of moving targets from distances of 65yards to 280yards, any position, although most shoot them from prone.
Only your first go around with a scoped rifle and an iron sighted rifle goes toward the Provincial Aggregate.

Now for Drayton Valley's shoot.
It's on Aug 18 & 19 this year.
This is the log one since I put this one on (gotta love cut and paste)
