Canadian Forces Bisley Team 2009 Win Match

[Red Hackle]

The Canadian Team is shooting pretty well but they know they can shoot even better, having said that though, they beat out the Omanies in the semi finals at the International Falling Plates Match, then at the finals they were up against the Gurkhas it came right down to the wire with the Canadians beating the Gurkhas by one plate. By all accounts, the Canadian Team is very pumped and feels good about tomorrow's match and night shoot. Good luck lads.

Another update today;


Just wanted to update you today on the moving target match, Master Corporal Ryan was tied in first place with Capt. Gagnon another Canadian They had a shoot off Capt. Gagnon coming in first, pretty unbelievable.

Then in the afternoon they had a four man team that had to run a long distance with a weighted dummy,  Master Corporal Ryan was the shooter on the team he had to shoot at 500yds at interval stops on the run. They placed third in the match.

They have a night shoot tonight at 24:00 hrs, will keep you posted.

P.S. Master Corporal Ryan is my son so we are very proud of them all.

Maybe some of them but not all. I know two of the sailors on the team, I am pretty confident they have let me know if they got to go down under.  ;D

I will take a look at their FB pages after I get home and see if they have any updates.

As it turns out last Friday July 10th., the Canadians beat out two British teams and came second to the Omanies. They were very happy with their results and came close to coming in first. Great job !
