JULY 20, 2014 - PETITCODIAC - 22BR SHOOT - RESULTS

Thanks to Darryl K. for sending the excellent pictures and to Volker T. for sending a spreadsheet of the match results.

This 22BR shoot was the first one on the new concrete floor - reports indicate that this floor is a huge benefit to shooters with no more tipping of benches and vibrations to take one out of one's "zone". Certainly the results of today's match would argue that point. Of course, shooters abilities and light winds may have had something to do with this. Anyway, congratulations are in order to Matt McA., Volker T. and Dan G. for shooting perfect scores with a high number of Xs and adding to the Petitcodiac "500" Club.

Conditions today were very favourable with temperatures at the firing point somewhere around 20C while temperatures outside were about 33C. The wind was reported to be light while light conditions were sunny with occasional cloud cover.

As is the norm in Petitcodiac, many people pitched in to make this shoot possible and enjoyable. Volker T. opened the Clubhouse, was the Match Director and, with the able help of Martin T., was the Scorer.  Range Safety Officers were Dan G. and Darryl K. while Dan G. and Shelly C. changed the targets. John C. served as Registrar and Statistician. The wonderful sweets were brought by Barb J., Shelly C. and Dan G. Thanks are due to you all.

JULY 13, 2014 - PETITCODIAC - CENTERFIRE SHOOT - RESULTS

Thanks to Volker T. for sending this write-up and to Dan G. for the pictures of the winners.We had our inaugural shoot on the brand new concrete shooting hut floor today. Everyone was very pleased with the new look of the building and it sure was a pleasure to be able to move around without disturbing any of the shooters on the firing line. Big thanks to Dan G., Logan G., and Matt A. for carrying the shooting benches back into the shooting hut after the floor was finished.

Although it was a small turnout, all there enjoyed the day which was truly a fine one for shooting. Other shooters were attending a shoot in Minto, a long-range shoot at the Batouche Range in Gagetown, on holidays or perhaps just recuperating from the previous night's ringer toss championships.                                       

The day was sunny with very light winds and temperatures up there. Even though the wind was light, no shooters were added to the Petitcodiac 300 Club, but . . . for a while a few were being pursued. Oh well, there is always the next time. Solace was sought by indulging in the excellent treats provided by Shelly C. and Dan G.  Congratulations to the top shooters. It sure is nice to see Matt A. coming into his own - he is persistent and a fast learner for sure!

Match Director - Volker T.

Scorers - Volker T and Martin T.

Target Changers - Dan G. and Brian P.

JULY 13, 2014 - MINTO 22BR SHOOT - RESULTS

Many thanks to Barbara Jamieson for sending the results and the pictures below:

It was a bright sunny day with hardly a cloud in the sky. I don't know what wind conditions there were but just down the road at the RNBRA - Annual Prize Meet shoot, the wind was gusty at 25 km/hr at times and twisting down range. So it may well have been quite challenging. Thirteen shooters attended with Wayne K. being the Match Director and most everyone else pitching in to help as is usual for a shoot in Minto.

JUNE 22, 2014 - PETITCODIAC 22BR SHOOT

Thanks to Volker T. for sending this report and to Darryl K. who sent the pictures.Well, it was another great day at Petitcodiac for hosting a 22BR shoot. The weather was a mix of sun and occasional overcast with temperatures in

the 15-20C range.There were 17 shooters who enjoyed the friendly camaraderie of the match - not to mention the great sweets provided by our usual contributors - Shelly C., Barb J. and Dan G. (It might be time to add a cooking/recipe section to this blog as the sweets are truly great. Of course, if we did that, we would also have to add excercise and diet sections!)

Along with their participation in the shoot, we were most thankful to all who helped with the sweeping of the shooting hut, and after the shoot all those who helped to relocate the shooting benches, the wood stove and other appurtenances in preparation for the pouring of the new concrete floor which is to be constructed this week. The Rifle Committee is most grateful for your help.


Today the Match Director and scorer was Volker T. while Dan G. and Darryl K. served as RSOs. Our Registrar and Statistician was John C. Dan G. and Shelly C. did the target changing. Volker T. prepared the club house and Darryl K. was the talented photographer. Thanks all - it makes a difference. We love having you attend.

With the mild wind, we expected to see a few 500 scores. The wind WAS mild but oh so deceitful! Although many tried their "durnest" but missed by a shot or two, the big congratulations go to Gerard D. who shot a perfect 500/17X. Way to go Gerard - you will enter the hallowed halls of the Petitcodiac 500 Club and your name will be added to the 500 Trophy.

Gerard D. - our newest addition to 500 Club.
