her contributions in 2014

The Minto Christmas shoot was a fun event with about 20 shooters taking part. The shoot was organized by match director Dave C. and consisted of 3 targets - a Racoon with seven small bulls; a Rat with seven small bulls and a Crow with seven small bulls. A shooter could choose to shoot a Rimfire .22 at 50 yards or a Centerfire rifle at 100 yards. As it turned out we had far more rimfire shooters. Prizes of a turkey went to first place shooters. Second place was awarded a ham while third place shooters received a box of chocolates. Many thanks to Dave C. for doing a great job of organizing this event.

The Scorekeeper was Matt McA. with Don M. verifying scores - not an easy task as the targets were printed on photocopy paper and the holes were elusive. Besides that, the targets came fast and furious. Thanks for doing a great job fellows. Thanks are due to others as well - the Targets were changed by Dave C., George M. and Bruce B. The RSOs for the shooting were Grant P. Sr. and Bert deV.

A highlight of the Christmas shoot was the food. Wayne K. made a wild meat stew that everyone dove into with delight. Bruce B. made a wonderful pot of chili - the bottom of the pot came far too quickly. Barbara J. made her famous banana bread to ward off the growls during the shoot and she made mincemeat pies for dessert - most of us had to have seconds! Terry McN. brought coffee, tea and soft drinks. Many thanks to all of you for a most appreciated meal.

After the shoot and the Christmas meal, prizes were awarded for the top 3 shooters of the day as mentioned above. A special award was given to Barbara J. for her gastronomic contributions to each shoot in 2014. In addition, the Annual Awards were presented to shooters who excelled during the normal shooting schedule for 2014. These are listed below:
