Fourteen shooters from the Moncton area, Salisbury, Sussex and the Fredericton area and points in between showed up well rested from a wonderful Holiday season, ready to do battle on the field of honour - or just simply to have fun shooting together. We did have a lot of fun - it was good to start a new year with good friends and a good shoot.
Volker T. was the Match Director and also scored the targets, while Bert deV., Gus C., Danny G., and Brian P. shared the duties of Range Officer. Danny G. and Brian P. also took responsibility for changing the targets. Thanks everyone, for helping out - especially those behind the scenes. Halfway through the match, we received a really nice call from Martin T. who could not be with us to wish us a Happy New Year and a good day shooting. Many thanks to Shelly C. for all the goodies she always brings - our tastebuds and our tailors thank you.
The weather was without a doubt the mildest and most beautifully sunny day of the year. The first relay started off with no sun and no wind and then we shot many relays with full sun reflecting from the white snow and causing the targets to jump eagerly around with the mirage. We had only occasional 5mph winds to deal with as the tails on the flags usually drooped directly toward the ground. This turned out to be a tricky condition as the scores showed. The last relay was shot with occasional 10mph wind and no sun - another tricky condition but more typical of the Petitcodiac range. When all the dust had settled the following results were racked up. Congratulations to the winners and to everyone for an enjoyable time.
