MAY 8, 2016 - 22BR - RESULTS

It was a Happy Mother's Day indeed for the 19 shooters who came to the 22BR  Match held in Minto today. What better way to spend a day shooting and enjoying the company of one's friends and afterwards taking "Mom" out to dinner.
The day started out a bit dismal with rain and pretty cool temperatures while we were driving to the range. It wasn't long, however, before the drizzle stopped and the sun started peeking out. The temperature steadily increased as the day wore on and toward the end of the match we started taking off our jackets and coats. It was a bit too warm to stay long by the stove but it sure was welcome early in the morning.

The wind was a lot more predictable than it usually is in Minto. A light wind of about
5km/hr gusting to a max of 15km/hr was experienced throughout the match but it picked up a little at the end. It blew mostly from left to right although it switched to right to left and down range as well. There were even some times when it was calm. Despite this, it was a bit tricky and some shots drifted in unexpected directions. During calm times you pulled the trigger at your own peril as often some currents were still active downrange. Although no 400s were shot today, some very good shooting took place. Congrats to Bill H. who started with a perfect first target and ended up in second place - this after only shooting BR since January. Congrats also to Roger L. who discovered some ammo which worked well in his rifle - and ended up tying the top sporter target for the day.
Today, Matt McA.  was the Match Director and scorer while Wayne K. verified the scores and stats. The targets were changed by a large group of guys including Wayne K., Dave C., Cecil H., George M., John McC., Roger L. and Bert deV. The ROs for the day were John McC., Darryl K. and Bert deV. Many thanks to Barb J. who, again, spoiled us with plates of delicious sweets and banana bread. Thanks to everyone who pitched in to help out today.
