Serge Ottevaere

Very bad tiding

Today, we received a message saying Lt Kol SBH Ottevaere Serge has passed away. Serge, our former pistol coach and later Chief of Mission, died of cancer, which was diagnosed in Aug 2009. Two surgical operations, followed by chemo treatments, could not save him. End of Sep 2010, doctors were out of solutions, ... unfortunatly.

The Belgian sport shooting community hereby loses a big man, a huge monument.

The funeral takes place on Tuesday, Dec 21st in DEERLIJK at 1030 Hr.

Ammo testing in Lapua (FIN)

On Oct 14th, in the Lapua factory (Finland), the team tested new lots of 6mm BR Norma which are to be purchased . All lots passed, but only the best were chosen to be delivered.

Unfortunately, we encountered a sudden burn out of one of our barrels: bullet speed dropped drastically (> 50 m/s), and the grouping at 300m increased dramatically (> 20 cm). That makes one more barrel less for the WC. Three out of seven are out of order now . Hope the material manager can buy new barrels in time.
