OCTOBER 1, 2023 - MINTO - CENTERFIRE ANNUAL CHAMPIONSHIP

What a beautiful fall day for a championship shoot! It was a bit cool early in the morning while driving to the range. The dashboard said it was 4C on the Minto highway. It was good thing that Wayne K. had already started a fire in the stove and the clubhouse was quite toasty. Temperatures throughout the match slowly rose to 24C in the afternoon.

Similarly, we started out with a pale sun shining throught the fog in the morning and it was pretty constant and intense throughout the match. The wind was very light at times and at other times was not visible in the wind flags. It was mentioned that the wind reached 3km/hr - definitely not a typical wind on the Minto ranges.
It was an extremely disappointing turnout today. Eight shooters showed up to shoot the final championship of the year! It was mentioned that this was due to the Club applying the qualifying rules from before the Covid epidemic and that shooters may have thought they could not shoot this match as a result. Whatever the case - it is time to revisit the qualifying rules as it seems that the number of active shooters is dropping and we probably want to encourage recreational shooting as much as we can.

Today, Wayne K. was the match director and scorer with Don M. providing the verifying. John McC. and Conrad L. were the range safety officers while Bert deV., John McC., Cecil H. and Conrad L. changed the target sheets down-range. Bert deV. brought some cookies but unfortunately we could not enjoy a cuppa coffee this time.
