It was a lovely day for a rifle match in Florenceville. The temperature in the morning, while we were driving up the beautiful Saint John river valley, was a bit cool but the sun was out and, even thoughit was early, it was blazing in the rear-view mirror and sending it's warmth into the vehicle. We arrived at the range in good time, having made no wrong turns, and were able to greet friends before the match began.
During the rimfire match, ( 3
targets of 25 bulls), the day warmed up substantially with the sun rising behind the covered firing point. Winds were very mild and almost totally calm during the first relay. It picked up as the day progressed and, as is usual for Florenceville, it became tricky and much less predictable. The scores recorded during the second relay showed this and were quite a bit lower than in the first relay. The third relay was similar but by now we had learned from our early experiences and scores were a bit improved.
The Match Director for the Rimfire Benchrest match was Jean S. She also scored the targets along with Ash P. The Range Officer for the first few relays was Alan C. while Greg S. took over these duties later on when Alan had to leave. All shooters went forward to change their own targets.
After the Rimfire match was over, the scores were tallied and medals presented. Then, thanks to Jean S., we enjoyed a lunch of potato salad, caesar salad and hot-dogs bar-b-qued to perfection by Ted S. This was much appreciated not only because of Jean's super culinary skills but also because after shooting all morning we were famished!.
