Section 23, from the seller's side of the table

Built in *Chilliwack*

Cookstown puts *250 targets* on Canada's trap line

A 17-pound .223 trainer, cheap 55-grain ammunition, and a 1:12 barrel make sense together when position work is the declared job.
Advocacy
Ontario's mini-rifle calendar has a *handgun gate*
Ontario has current IPSC mini-rifle matches. Its public newcomer route still begins with a handgun-specific Black Badge course.
Precision
How you split 15 rounds changes the *answer*
A 2026 ammunition study found that three five-shot groups gave a less biased precision estimate than five three-shot groups using the same 15 rounds.

PSA 570 launches Friday. *Canada* gets a different clock
