PETITCODIAC 22BR SHOOT - January 27, 2013 - Results


The Petitcodiac Sportsman Club started the annual 2013 22RF series Benchrest shoots off with a great showing of enthusiastic shooters. Twenty shooters came to the match and there were several new shooters which was nice to see - welcome fellows!! It was a pleasant surprise that so many came out, since the temperature was -15 degrees and the 20 km/h winds made for even cooler feeling weather due to the wind chill factor. Lighting was good with changes varying from overcast to light sunny periods.
The shooters were not deterred by the cold as they all dressed ready to fight off the winter chill. And the wood stove drew small gatherings eager to keep warm or keep up with the latest scored targets. The clubhouse with its wood stove was welcome to the shooters too as they relaxed between relays. These places were also where the treats were to be found - very popular spots to be sure! Thank you to Barb J. and Shelley C.
Also thanks to Volker T. who was the Match Director and Scorer for this shoot. Dan G. and Brian P. changed the targets and Dan G. and Carl J. were the Range Officers. Thanks to everyone who helped out.
The match consisted of four relays and the shoot was completed in the early afternoon. There were some nice targets shot, and some that didn't turn out as well as hoped for - the 'wind gods' were not kind to everyone! This included the writer, who has said on more than one occasion, "I'd rather be lucky than good". This time he was disappointed by both. So, we look forward to the next match to demonstrate our shooting skills and beat the wind and share our stories with fellow shooters. This write-up contribution is from your humble shooter in Moncton - Volker T.
