LAKE GEORGE - 22 BR SHOOT - March 9, 2013

Well, history has repeated it self!  Read on and find out how! Here's a little clue:

The weather wasn't anything like it was predicted to be in the forecast of the last couple of days. We had a steady cloudy sky which wasn't all that bad for light conditions. The temperature was about what we expected  - about 3 degrees above. There was no sun but we did have some light drizzle and an occasional snow flake. Wind was quite good most of the time except when it it was blowing from the NE in occasional little blows. On the whole not too bad at all.

We had a really good shoot for the third and final 22 Benchrest Shoot at Lake George. This was a trial benchrest shooting series at Lake George and it would be safe to say that the entire series was a great success. A total of 50 shooters participated in all three of the shoots. Terry McN., who was the Match Director for all 3 shoots, thanked Bruce B., Norbert S. and Carl J. for their assistance to make the series a success. Thanks are also due to Bert deV. and Mike S.  In turn, Bruce thanked Terry McN. for his hard work and presented him with a commemorative plaque for making this shooting series possible. 

From all of us, thank you Terry, Bruce, Norbert, Mike, Carl and Bert. Hopefully this successful start will be continued by making the 22 Benchrest shoots a permanent fixture in the shooting program of the Lake George Gun Club. 

Twelve shooters attended from Minto, Sheffield, Fredericton and surrounding area this third and final shoot for the winter. Six competed in the Open Class while six more competed in the Sporter Class. Terry McN. was the Match Director and took the registrations. He also repeated his previous superlative gourmet achievement with today's hotdogs. As before, Norbert S. and Carl J. were the Range Officers while Bruce B. changed the targets. Terry McN. and Barb J. again brought the sweets which were enjoyed by all. Thanks folks! Bert deV. did the scoring and statistics.

Now here is where history repeats itself. Top Open Class shooters were Carl J. with 398/10X and Barb J. with 396/17X. Dave C. placed third with 393/12X.

In Sporter Class, a very tight race was concluded with Steve F. shooting 384/7X for first place; Gerry J. shot 383/12X for second place and Bert deV. shot 382/11X for third place. Congratulations to all for an excellent match and for a very enjoyable shoot.
