JUNE 26, 2016 - FLORENCEVILLE - SMALLBORE UNLIMITED - RESULTS

Ash Pardy sends the following results from Florenceville.
(Here's a link to Google Maps for the location of the range: Florenceville Range )

A 10mph southern wind (gusting to 18mph) was switching on our targets from the 8 o'clock position (left and down range) through to the 4 o'clock position (right and down range).  A squeeze of the trigger as the wind switched past 6 o'clock, proved several times to throw your shot out into the 8 ring or 7 ring (ouch!). All in all it sure was a tricky day. 

Then there were the temperatures - sweltering for New Brunswickers and above 30 degrees Celsius. At least the shelter over our firing line made for some shady comfort, keeping the sun directly off the shooters.

RESULTS - USBR 22BR UNLIMITED (SCORED BEST EDGE):


Attached is a pic of our targets of choice at Florenceville.
It is the official USBR 50 yard target...however we shoot it at 50 meter distance.


The 10 rings are 0.10" in diameter..and thus far they have proved challenging for us...with a race to the perfect 250 score still up for grabs at our club.

Targets are scored "best edge"..if its not clearly shown we plug the shot to get a gauged score.
If the shot touches the line..you get the highest score.  
The 22 gauge plug is only used once.
