Vic Potts Returns to BR to Win WWCCA Fall Classic Match with a .1919" 2-Gun!

27 Benchrest shooters attended this past weekend’s Fall Classic match at the Western Wayne Conservation Club in Plymouth, MI to watch the Vic Potts shooting show.

After a brief hiatus from BR shooting to address some nagging knee issues, Vic Potts did not miss a beat and came back to BR in a major way in winning the WWCCA Fall Classic match with a .1919” 2-Gun Grand Aggregate. Vic’s .1919” 2-Gun also established a new WWCCA club 2-Gun Grand Aggregate record. Well done, Vic! It's great to have you back with us!

As component of Vic’s super small .1919” 2-Gun, Vic fired a .1688” Heavy Varmint Grand Aggregate. Vic’s .1688” HV Grand ties the current .1688” NBRSA HV Grand world record.
Vic’s HV Grand targets will be submitted this week to the NBRSA world record chairman for world record review consideration.

A special congrats to Dave Holmes, who’s .2191” Light Varmint Grand Aggregate breaks the previous Canadian world record. Well done, Dave!

I am also very pleased to report we had 4 new shooters attended this past weekend’s WWCCA Fall Classic match. Congrats to new shooter’s, Ken Bombalsi, Jim Parks, Mike Johnston and John Kenny.

A special thanks and some well deserved recognition to Steve Robbins, whom has been mentoring and supporting these 4 new shooters with some very good coaching! Each of us should follow Steve’s mentoring example and introduce a new shooter into our great sport! On to the match…

There definately

Was some nice shooting happening by the looks of it.

And congrats to my buddy Dave Holmes on his potential Bench Rest Shooters Canada Canadian International Records.

For those of you who are not familiar with the BRSC there are 2 potential types of records. BRSC records which can be contested at a BRSC registered shoot with a paid up BRSCmembership. The other is a Canadian International record which is a record that is shot at a registered IBS, NBRSA, or World shoot. To qualify for the International record you must hold a valid BRSC membership and the IBS or NBRSA memberships if you want to submit a record that may have been shot at a IBS or NBRSA shoot. These records are available to be contested by any shooter regardless of country of origin as long as they hold the valid memberships.

So if anyone wants to beat the Canadian records, I know we are far off and get cold, come on down to southern Ontario, Manitoba or Alberta to give your hand at it.
