The Benchrest shooting season got off to a great start today with a 22BR shoot in Petitcodiac which was attended by 16 shooters from the Moncton, Fredericton, Sussex, and Minto areas. One even came from Grand Manan. This is a testament to the hardiness of New Brunswick shooters as, the day before, temperatures at the beginning of the day hovered around -30C. 
The weather was great today, however, with the sun shining and hardly any wind. We were lucky to see the temperature rise 8 degrees up to a balmy 0C and no snow. The warm stove was kept going to keep shooters thawed out between relays - and this venue was extremely well attended! Of course that's where the treats were also located. 
This was one of the best shoots ever with great scores. The top 4 shooters attained the ellusive perfect target with 500 scores. Congratulations to Matthew McAllister, Volker Topf, Brian Petitpas and Jeff Marshall, 3 of whom joined the 500 Club for the first time! |
