OCTOBER 20, 2018 - FLORENCEVILLE - 22 SMALLBORE BENCHREST - RESULTS

It was surprisingly warm early Saturday morning when we got ready to travel to Florenceville. There was no frost to scrape from the windshield - nice for this time of the year. It did get a little cooler as we drove up the Saint John river valley and the sky became more threatening with a promise of strong wind and rain. Well coffeed-up, we finally arrived at the range where everyone was waiting to begin the match and it wasn't long until everyone was set and ready to go.
Temperatures during the match rose slightly and it was reasonably warm but the wind kept us cooled down to the point where a fall jacket was not warm enough. The sun stayed hidden for most of the match and we did get a little rain toward the end. The real factor in our shooting was the wind which was consistently very strong at the outside edges of the range while the centre positions were a bit calmer. Winds were predominantly from 6 to 9 o'clock and easily gusted to 50-60km/hr. Despite this, some of us shot very well - congrats to Jean S. who seemed to have figured out the wind. We all had fun!
The match director and statistician was Jean S. while Ash P. and Greg S. did the scoring. Everyone was responsible for changing their own targets. Ash P., Greg R. and Ted S. were the range officers during the match. Thanks to everyone who lent a hand today.
After the match was completed, Jean S. provided a very nice lunch of various salads while Ted S. did the honours at the barbeque with some fine hot-dogs. This is turning out to be a really welcome tradition as we were all famished after shooting all morning. Many thanks to Jean from all of us for a wonderful lunch.
