Well, it was a summer day in Minto New Brunswick. This meant that on the drive to the range it was raining a little with overcast skies and temperature at about 18C. At the range it was still overcast and the rain had stopped. It did not come back during the match but we experienced some misting on the way home. During the match, the temperature rose from 18C to 27C - quite warm for the high humidity.
The wind was mostly from the left - quite steady during the first relay. During the second and third relays it was switching and sometimes died completely - hard to predict and even harder to compensate for the velocity changes. Some of our error were certainly due to this.
Because of the small number of shooters, there were only 2 relays. This was good as the match did not last long and we could plan on some other things to do this Sunday when we got home. It was bad, though, in that our barrels did not get much of a chance to cool down between relays - were some of our wild shoots due to this?
We were glad to see our shooting friend, Ben F., again after a long time away. He had not lost any of his skills and did very well in Open Class.
