JUNE 22, 2025 - MINTO - RIMFIRE OPEN/SPORTER - RESULTS

Thanks to Dale H. for sending the results and to Barb for sending the pics.

Sixteen eager shooters attended the rimfire shoot in Minto today. Rimfire shooting is becoming a bit more popular lately - possibly because it is more affordable than centerfire shooting and necessary materials are more available. At any rate, it was very nice to get together with friends doing what we love to do - target shooting!

The conditions today were a bit mixed. Temperatures started around 13C with pretty high relative humidity. At the end of the match, it had risen to about 24C. During the shooting, we had some pretty significant rain storms. Thanks a lot to the target changers who got wet during the rain.

Thankfully, the wind was very benign and predictable. A lot of the shooting time experienced little or no visible wind and the tails on the flags drooped down without even a little wiggle. There was some wind - either from right to left or the reverse - but this did not last long and returned to the original "no wind" condition. Shooters had to be very careful nonetheless and had to pay attention to all flags in every corner of the range as a slight indication in any one of them would signal a change in the flight of the bullet. Good scores were the result of these conditions even though a point here or there was lost.
