Shooters in New Brunswick had a great day of shooting on Sunday at the Minto Gun Club ranges. We were shooting the 4th Annual RNBRA Rimfire Benchrest Championship in conditions that were almost ideal - certainly during the early relays but really throughout the match.
The sky was overcast throughout the match which made for even light and good images in our scopes. There was no rain although some guys claimed to feel a bit of moisture. The temperature was a bit on the cool side early in the match at around 6C when we left for the range and at 18C at the end of the shooting. Winds were very steady although some periods of calm occurred randomly throughout the match. Most often the wind was from the left or the right or from 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock - yes from all over - but conditions lingered for minutes at a time so we could take advantage of shooting rapid strings.
Shooters came from almost all over the province with the longest trip taken by Ted S. who arrived from Florenceville. Other shooters arrived from Saint John, Moncton, Midland, Mazzerole Settlement, Durham Bridge and other points closer to the range.
