FEBRUARY 25, 2024 - PETITCODIAC - RIMFIRE BR. - RESULTS

It was a good beginning for this year’s shooting season at Petti. The day started out with temperatures at -13C heading up to -6C, but it was a sunny day and the range road was good, being sanded as well. But, with the bright sun reflecting off the hard snow, there was mirage to contend with and the sunshades were used. The winds were constant going from 10-20km. So, enough for a challenge to shooters.

Dan arrived with a bundle of firewood to heat up the stove and keep our freezing fingers warm. And a bunch of timbits for the shooters’ appetites. Thanks, Dan.

We did manage a 500 score today. Congrats Dan. He was followed closely behind by Chris and Grant, who had high X count. And a big welcome to a new shooter, Mathieu LeB. who held his own on his first competition with us. We hope to see more of him. Good shooting guys. Thanks to all who pitched in to help with Range Safety and target changing work.
