The Selkirk Benchrest Shooters is pleased to announce it will hold a Benchrest 101 Clinic on Thursday Sept. 3, 2026 at the Selkirk Game & Fish Range. This clinic provides an introduction to competitive Benchrest shooting. The focus will be on short range (100-200 yd) group shooting using center fire BR rifles.
This clinic will appeal to the accuracy enthusiast who is serious about learning to compete in BR shooting. It is not meant to make you a better hunter, very little of what is discussed will benefit field shooters. The Clinic will provide the first of many steps in learning to compete at a national and international level. We have past students who have taken this path and are now shooting on the World BR team for Canada.
If you are the type of shooter who takes great pains in loading your ammo, measuring your groups, recording and analyzing load data, and strives to find the next improvement in grouping capability we want you! If going to the next level means competition, then we want you! If you have heard about BR but didn’t know how to get involved, then we want you!
The Clinic will run from 13:00-17:00 so you will need to plan accordingly. Starting at 13:00, the discussion will include the basics of Benchrest shooting, such as suitable cartridges, rifles, reloading, the match format, among many other topics. This will also include teaching the students how to set up windflags and set up the bench equipment.
There will be an opportunity for students to try their hand shooting comepetition level BR rifles and to utilize the rests, wind flags, and all other associated equipment. Students will also receive instruction on cleaning rifles and on cartridge reloading for BR competition.
There is no need to bring a rifle or sand bags etc. The coaches will bring all related shooting equipment.
All you need to do is bring your hearing protection, eye protection, and refreshments.

Range 1 will be closed on May 7. We will try to keep Range 2 open during this time but due to maintenance activity we may need to close all ranges. Thanks for understanding.
The club has hired a contractor to replace the roofs on ranges 2 & 3. They will need to shut down the range while this work is ongoing. We don’t know what days the work will be done so it may happen that the range will be closed without notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Many members are complaining about not receiving club information. Please check your junk / spam mail folder. Our online system sends out club information seconds after an invoice is paid so if you don’t get the email it probably went in your junk folder.
Our membership volunteer is trying to answer your questions but it seems that no one is getting our responses!
