OCTOBER 15, 2023 - MINTO - 7th ANNUAL TERRY McNEILL RIMFIRE CHAMPIONSHIP - RESULTS

Thanks to Dale H. for sending these results.

You know it's getting to the end of the shooting season when we hold the Minto Terry McNeill Rimfire Championship. This year is the 7th Annual shooting of this championship and we had 17 shooters attend. Unfortunately, a number of our shooting friends did not qualify with 3 matches under their belts in each of the Open and Sporter classes. We missed them today!

It has been raining pretty steadily for the last couple of weeks but today we seem to have been spared and most of the match was dry! It remained overcast and windy so there was definitely a need for fall clothing with temperature ranging from about 7C to the mid teens.

The wind was very changeable with the dominant wind from the left in some relays and from 12 or 6 o'clock during others. Very tricky and hard to predict. You had to be patient and wait for your condition to return or go to the sighters to test out a new condition. The time almost ran out for some shooters who did just that.

Congrats go to Wayne LeB. who shot a clean match in Sporter class with 400/19X and in Open class Barb J. shot a clean 400/20X and Bert deV. a 400/26X.
