In Memoriam: Paul Bastarache

8/30/2022

 
Unfortunately we lost our friend Paul Bastarache last week. When I started shooting he set the benchmark which encouraged me to improve. He welcomed me to his home range of St Gabriel and taught me the basics of load development. He will be missed.
Malheureusement nous avons perdu notre ami Paul Bastarache la semaine dernière. Quand j'ai commencé à tirer, il a établi une référence qui m'a encouragé à m'améliorer. Il m'a accueilli dans son domaine vital de St Gabriel et m'a appris les bases du développement de la charge. Il va nous manquer.
~ Adam MacDonald, Fullbore Chair
Please see the below message from Gord Holloway, RNBRA President.
Veuillez consulter le message ci-dessous de Gord Holloway, président de la RNBRA.

The RNBRA is saddened to announce the recent death of Paul Bastarache. Paul was a long time member of the RNBRA and a personal friend of many of the Fullbore shooters in the Atlantic region. Paul was a great competitor who contributed to all of our success by setting a high standard and generously sharing his knowledge.  During his time shooting F-Class Fullbore, Paul won the Grand Aggregate of the Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick Annual Prize  Matches, some more than once. Paul also won the Atlantic Championship Grand Aggregate. At one time or another, Paul won most of our New Brunswick matches including the Governor Generals Medal and the Prince of Wales Trophy. 
An important component of Paul’s success was rifle accuracy which he learned from Benchrest Competition and applied to F-Class. Paul was the first to ask that we switch to the smaller ICFRA targets in the Maritimes which are half the size of traditional Fullbore targets. That changed the game, putting a greater emphasis on rifle accuracy, and better prepared us for national and international competition success that was to come.
Paul was also a sportsman. The first time I won a Provincial Prize Match I had bested Paul by a slim margin but Paul wasted no time extending his hand and congratulating me on the victory. Paul will be missed by many on the rifle ranges of the Maritimes.
La RNBRA est attristée d'annoncer le récent décès de Paul Bastarache. Paul était un membre de longue date de la RNBRA et un ami personnel de nombreux tireurs Fulbore de la région de l'Atlantique. Paul était un grand compétiteur qui a contribué à tous nos succès en établissant des normes élevées et en partageant généreusement ses connaissances. Tout en participant au F-Class Fulbore, Paul a remporté le Grand Aggregate des matchs de prix annuels de la Nouvelle-Écosse, de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard et du Nouveau-Brunswick, certains plus d'une fois. Paul a également remporté le Grand Aggregate du Championnat de l'Atlantique. À un moment ou à un autre, Paul a remporté la plupart de nos événements au Nouveau-Brunswick, dont la Médaille du Gouverneur général et le Trophée Prince de Galles.
Un élément important du succès de Paul était la précision du fusil qu'il a apprise de Benchrest Competition et appliquée à la Classe F. Paul a été le premier à demander que nous passions aux plus petites cibles de l'ICFRA dans les Maritimes, qui sont la moitié de la taille des cibles traditionnelles à passage intégral. Cela a changé le jeu, mettant davantage l'accent sur la précision du fusil et nous préparant mieux au succès dans les futures compétitions nationales et internationales.
Paul était aussi un sportif. La première fois que j'ai remporté un match pour le prix provincial, j'avais battu Paul par une mince marge, mais Paul n'a pas perdu de temps en me tendant la main et en me félicitant pour la victoire. Paul manquera à plusieurs sur les champs de tir des Maritimes.
The RNBRA offers its heart felt condolences to Paul’s family and friends.
La RNBRA offre ses sincères condoléances à la famille et aux amis de Paul.

August 13 - Bring a Buddy Match - Results

8/16/2022

 
On Saturday August 13, the Fullbore Section hosted a 2-person team match (aka the Bring a Buddy Match). We had a great turnout of 22 buddies! Everyone had different experience levels with competitive shooting, so we tried to pair newer shooters with those who had shot competitions before.
After a safety briefing and a quick introduction on how Fullbore competitions are conducted, Adam MacDonald handed out new dry-erase plotters and provided a tutorial on how to plot while shooting.
The Course of Fire was:
2+15 @ 800m (Teams)
2+15 @ 900m (Teams)
2+15 @ 900m (Individual)

For the first two matches, teams were encouraged to work together, discuss strategy and wind calls. For the third match, we ran it as a typical individual match with pair firing. Due to the great turn out, we had two relays of each team match. After a delayed start, the first shot was fired at 11:30am.

Special shout-out to Dan and Braden, who stopped by for a quick practice on their way to the Canadian National TR Championships in Ottawa. They wanted to shoot their target rifles on an F-Class target for a challenge! Good luck at Nationals!

*Ghislain - I know you shot the individual match, but I didn't get your scorecard! If you still have it, let me know and I'll update the blog!

2022 NB APM Results

7/1/2022

 
On Saturday June 25 and Sunday June 26, the RNBRA Fullbore Section held their Annual Prize Meet at Batouche Range on 5 CDSB Gagetown. 23 competitors from NB, NS, PEI and Quebec shot 8 different matches and competed for 8 trophies, plus the MacDonald Stewart Grand Aggregate.
This is always a very fun, but very busy match and it can get complicated. I'll try to break down the matches as best as I can. Also, apologies for not having any action shots on the line. If anyone has any photos they'd like to share, you can send them to info@rnbra.ca.
