MAY 25, 2025 - MINTO - RIMFIRE OPEN/SPORTER - RESULTS

Thanks to Dale H. for sending the results and write-up.

Boy - oh - Boy! This has been some spring for weather - kind of depressing even for New Brunswick. Everyday, it seems, has been cold, dark and a lot of rain has fallen. This is true for today as well when we all gathered in Minto for a semi-annual meeting and a rimfire match afterwards.

The temperature this morning , when we started out for the range , was about 6C and this increased to about 10C by the time the match ended. It rained, off and on, for most of the day with no sunny periods at all. The wind was from the left at about 10-20km/hr for the early half of the match and then became switching - left to right - for the second half of the match.

RELAY # 1

Despite this, we were all eager to shoot and enjoy the company of our fellow shooters.

Scores were generally pretty good for the conditions. Congrats go to Cecil H. who shot a clean 400/19X in Open class and to Wayne LeB. who shot a very fine 400/23X in Sporter class.

RELAY # 2

We welcomed a new shooter in our midst. Shane M. came out and observed the activities - hopefully learning some good things along the way.

RELAY # 3

On more of a sad note - Barb J. informed me that our good friend George M. was involved in a car accident on the way home. He is recuperating in hospital. We wish him the best and a speedy recovery.

MAY 18, 2025 - PETITCODIAC - RIMFIRE BR, OPEN - RESULTS

Thanks to Darryl K. for the results and pics. He says "bad twisty winds 

caught a lot of shooters by surprise ." Thanks also to Chris S. who 

sent pics and says "great shooting and scores today - in nasty twisty winds ."

Thanks also to Danny G. for the write-up. "It was a decent enough day yesterday for our .22 Benchrest shoot in Petitcodiac.   The wind was a bit snappy but if you could be patient the right condition might present itself, lol !   Not a lot of rain after we started and only one shower of any consequence on the way home".  

Two shooters shot 500’s with good X counts - congrats to Chris S. who shot a very fine 500/28X and to Grant H. who shot a 500/22X - and there were four 499’s posted as well.

MAY 4, 2025 - PETITCODIAC - CENTERFIRE TEAM SHOOT - RESULTS

Thanks to Darryl K. and Danny G. for these results, pics and write-up.

This year, two teams competed for the coveted CF TEAM Trophy: The Minto Gun Club and The Petitcodiac Sportsmen's Club. Congratulations go to Team Petitcodiac for a very fine win!

TEAM MINTO = 1177/55X

TEAM PETITCODIAC - 1199/62X

Attendance was a bit lower than expected for the annual Centerfire Team shoot in Petitcodiac. Eleven shooters did participate in rainy but not unbearable conditions and shot some pretty decent scores.   After a little reorganization to distribute shooters a bit more equitably, we started the first relay and continued through the first two before breaking for lunch.   Returning from the Clubhouse after a 45 minute break we shot the third and last target.  

Then we returned to the Clubhouse for the awards presentations.  Congrats are due to the top three individual shooters today. Don M. with a score of 300/24X;  Malcolm McA. - 300/19X; John McC. - 300/16X.  Additionally congrats are due to Tony L. who, after so many shots downrange, earned his 300 CF Club badge today.

Danny G., as match director, would like to thank everyone who helped out as well - (which was everyone). We couldn’t pull it off without your help -  seriously!
