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.
