MAY 25, 2014 - PETITCODIAC - 22BR SHOOT

Today we had 18 shooters brave the cool temperatures (can you believe it - it's the end of May and the temperature could only squeeze out a measly 9 degrees C - even the blackflies are shivering in their booties). As the day wore on however, it did get a bit warmer and the rain did not materialize - so we have something to be thankful for! The WIND was the story as is so often the case in Petitcodiac (come to think about it, that's true of  Minto as well!). The wind ran pretty much constantly at 20km/hr, gusting to 30km/hr on and off. We hung on to our proverbial hats not to mention the rest of our gear and of course, this made for some tricky shooting conditions. Maybe next time we will have sunny quiet periods (we wish!!).
The match ran quickly, thanks to the usual and much appreciated help from many people. Thanks to Brian P., Dan G., Shelly C., Darryl K., and Tony L. for taking the responsibility of  target setting and changing, Rang Safety Officering, and doing Clubhouse chores including the wonderful warmth of the wood stove - it gets darn cold in New Brunswick in May by golly!

A big thanks to Barb J., Dan G. and Shelly C. for the great sweets. That extra sugar helped to sweetened up the bitter taste of some of the shots fired and the sour note of the resulting scores. . . . and helped us stay warm. 

A very strange thing is happening here in Petitcodiac - maybe under the cover of the night. As you can see from the picture of the rifle rack, 75% of the rifles used were Anschutz. This is a huge increase over years past and we can only conclude that they are reproducing when we aren't looking.

Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all who participated. We had fun getting together to do what we love best and maybe learned a thing or two about shooting in the wind. Until next time, on the range..... sent by Volker T.

MAY 11, 2014 - PETITCODIAC CENTER FIRE SHOOT

Today was a beautiful day to be at Petitcodiac for a shoot. The wind was light but shifted around quite a bit - if you waited for your conditions to return you sometimes waited for quite a while. Not that this did much good as most of us were attacked by the "yips" and produced a number of flyers. It was 13C today and the sun was out for most of the shoot. Spring is here and we felt lucky to be able to spend a day shooting together.

Thanks are due to a good number of people who  made the shoot possible. Volker was the Match Director and scorer. Dan G. was the RSO while John C. collected fees and produced the stats. The targets were changed by Dan G., Brian P. andTony L. The sweets were brought by Dan G. and Tony L. brought Shelley's famous squares as she couldn't be here. Volker was the camera man when he wasn't pumping the winner's hands.

Dan G. - 298/12X

Tom W. - 297/10X
