08-09-2013 - 22BR SHOOT PETITCODIAC - RESULTS

 Well, it started out as a damp day with some occasional rain and overcast skies. The temperature was a cool 14 C. Luckily for the first couple of hours there was hardly any wind and the scores reflected the early conditions - to most of the 17 shooters' delight.

Then . . . the sky opened up and we thought we were getting a hurricane. Very heavy rain and strong winds. All the wind indicators blew over first and within a few minutes all six target frames fell over despite having been weighted down! Shooting was delayed for a little time while the target frames were reset. Then suddenly, the winds became better and the rain subsided. It was interesting to say the least!

 Because it was cool, the stove had been lit and was kept going for a short while. Due to a lack of dry firewood, shooters periodically encountered some smokey visions of their targets. All - in all it was a shoot to remember.

Despite all this, some very good scores were recorded. In particular, Mike H. set this year's high score for the entire 22BR series! Congratulations! In addition, several shooters managed to get into high scores with a high X count. You know it was a special shoot when 14 out of 17 shooters shot 490 out of 500 or better.

For this shoot, Volker T. was the Match Director and target scorer. Carl J., Bruce B., Dan G. and John L. were the target setters and changers. Barb J. and Shelly C. brought their wonderful treats while Darryl K. was the accomplished photographer. Many thanks to all for their help.

Please note that the next 22BR Shoot will be the Season's Final with qualifying shooters vying for money prizes. This will take place on October 6th, 2013. Notices are being sent by John C. to those that have qualified. If you have not qualified, you may still shoot the match and partake of all the festivities and lunch - normal fees will apply and you will not shoot for cash prizes. Come out and have some fun.
