JUNE 8, 2014 - CENTERFIRE SHOOT - PETITCODIAC

Thanks to Volker T. for sending this write up and results and to Darryl K. for sending the pictures.

 We had great weather for today's shoot and 16 shooters from all over southeren New Brunswick attended - coming from as far away as Fredericton and Oromocto in the north to Grand Manan in the south. And of course shooters from Sussex and the Moncton area were there in force. It was good to see Ron M. who was home from work in Alberta.

 Today, temperatures ranged from 17C in the morning, up to 23C in the afternoon. It was sunny all day and you couldn't ask for a better day to be shooting with friends. The wind was there to challenge the shooters - gusting from 10km/hr to 20km/hr. It took effect when we least wanted it - and there was a touch of mirage just to make things interesting. We didn't shoot any 300s - not that we didn't try our "darnest" - but we had some close scores and were happy with that for now.

Bert deV.'s 30BR was absent but Don M. had brought his. He shot very well indeed and tied for third. The tie breaker went to the shooter with the highest first target shot - and this turned out to be Matt A. - congrats! Ron M. was there with his 308 just to make sure we wouldn't miss Bert's boomer 30BR. What fun we have!!

Lots of folks did their share (and more) to make this shoot enjoyable. Darryl K. took the great pictures. Tony L., Tom N., Shelly C. and Dan G. hoofed it back and forth to set up and change targets. Dan G. and Darryl K., who have the patience of a saint, were the RSOs. Sticky fingers John C. did the registering and accounting. John McC's wife sent her delicious muffins while Shelly C. brought her wonderful treats and Dan G. the traditional Timbits - at the end of the match we all had sticky fingers. We musn't forget our humble Match Director and scorer, Volker T. who promises to be ready next time with fireformed 6BRX ammo (he hopes)!

Until next time, Cheers fellow shooters.
