LAKE GEORGE - 22BR SHOOT - January 12, 2013 - Results

The first ever Lake George 22LR Benchrest shoot was held today with 20 shooters from Lake George, Fredericton, Minto, Oromocto, and many places in between, attending.

The weather was outstanding - overcast with very light winds ( 0 to 5mph) - but nonetheless sometimes a little tricky, (in Lake George the wind sometimes tunnels between 2 berms and the flags can't indicate the true wind directions and values - tricky). The temperature was cold in the morning but once a fire was made in the stove everyone was toasty warm - especially in the early afternoon when the hotdogs and onions were being cooked. Lunch was wonderful - always is when you've been outside and are doing something fun like shooting - thanks to our cook Terry McN and to Barb J. for all the goodies - really appreciated by all.

 



A lot of work goes into a first shoot . Terry McN. was the Match Director, took registrations and did a whole lot of phoning and running around all week just to prepare for this match. Norbert S., Carl J., and Mike S were range officers; Bruce B. and John Z. changed targets and organised relays; Bert deV. scored targets and did the statistics. Thanks to everyone who helped out - especially those behind the scenes.

There were two classes of shooters - Open Class with 14 shooters and Sporter Class with 6 shooters registered. They shot side by side on the same targets for shooting off the bench - the  "Lake George special BR target". Four benchrest targets were shot in Open Class while the Sporter Class shooters had 3 benchrest and one standing target. Some extremely good scores were recorded and 3 shooters chalked up perfect scores - the beginnings of the Lake George 400 club (see the right hand border of this blog-site   =>).

When the match was finally over, the following scores were racked up. Congratulations to the winners in each class for some very good shooting and to all for an extremely enjoyable match.
