PETITCODIAC - CENTERFIRE SHOOT - March 10,2013

Would you believe it"? This is only the third Centerfire Benchrest shoot of the year that most of us attended - the rest were all cancelled due to foul weather.

And what a shoot this was . . .  . . . we were blessed with temperature that hovered around 3 degrees. The sky was cloudy for the entire shoot which gave us even consistent lighting and little glare off the snow. There was no precipitation and the winds were relatively kind for Petitcodiac - NE with occassional tricky gusts. More than a few of us lost a point or two to the wind and those who persisted did OK.  For the most part shooting conditions were quite good.

 

Today, Volker T. was the Match Director and scored each target. John C. took registrations while Bert deV. and Dan G. shared the duties of Range Officer. Dan G., Tony L., Gus C. and Cecil H. changed the targets. Shelley C. brought the best sweets that a bunch of fellows could not resist!! Thank you all for your contributions - you know, without them there would be no shoots!

Nineteen shooters were in attendance and, as the results show, some shot not too too badly. Some others had major equipment problems while most others had the usual surprises from wind reading, load preparation, shooting routine, lack of concentration and other momentary lapses. I guess we are all ready to stop winter now. Let's get into warmer weather and our more productive shooting seasons. Here are the results for this shoot:

Oh, and what about the famous bet between Shelley and Darryl? Well, our Darryl scored 285/3X while our Shelley scored 282/3X - so Darryl won't have to wear the frilly apron - (but he had to borrow a gun to do it!)
