MAY 26, 2018 - MINTO - CENTERFIRE TEAM SHOOT

It was a wonderful day for a shoot - sure it started out with a bit of rain during the drive to the range but this stopped and it stayed dry for the rest of the day. It stayed overcast and 
probably a bit cool for this time of year until about noon. Then it became humid and warm and very buggy. We became bug fodder for most of the match. 

The wind was variable but most right to left in the early part of the match while it became calmer and mostly down range for the last relays.

We had hoped for 4 teams shooting - Minto, Petitcodiac, Lake George and Florenceville. Unhappily, we had just the teams from Minto and Petitcodiac on hand and 
missed the others.

Today, John McC. was the organizer of the shooting as the match director. Don M. was the head scorer with Dan G. doing the verifying. Wayne K., who had also done the shopping for everything needed for this match, was the head BBQ chef. Everyone loved his hamburgers and the onions were a hit. Many thanks for the giant efforts on our behalf you guys!

The ROs for this match were John McC., Tony L. and Bert deV. while the targets were changed by a large crew of
volunteers including John McC., Chris S., George M., Guy H. and Bert deV.


The treats were thanks to Bill H. who brought donuts, Guy H.
who brought a cake, John McC. who brought Dorothy's terrific biscuits and the Minto Gun Club which provided the makings for a fine lunch.Thanks to all of you for making this a fun occasion.


Honours were hotly contested by the two teams. This year it was Minto's turn to shine with a 1 point victory over Petitcodiac (X count gap was a little larger). Even though more than enough shooters participated, the 4 highest scores were used to calculate the team standings as will be seen below:

RESULTS - TEAM MINTO: 1182/64X
Bert deV. - 298/19X
Bill H. - 298/14X
John McC. - 297/14X
Don M. - 289/15X
Wayne K. - 266/6X
Mack McD. - 196/4X

RESULTS - TEAM PETITCODIAC: 1181/40X
