MAY 17, 2015 - MINTO CENTERFIRE BR AND SPORTER SHOOT - RESULTS

The day started out with a downpour and driving to the range was a bit of a challenge - especially for those of us who might have had tires that were a bit more bald than we would have wanted - as the ruts in the highway were filled with rain and
hydroplaning was a definite possibility. The range was also very well irrigated and soggy in low-lying areas. The weather stayed a bit wet with occasional light misty showers during the match. The temperature was a bit chilly for this time of year and I'm guessing it may not even

have hit the forecasted 12 C. The winds were pretty reasonable with hardly any movement in the flags during the first relay. As the day progressed the wind did pick up a bit with up-range and left-to-right switching gusty winds at about 15 km/hr. interspersed
with no winds at all. Interesting conditions for sure and although the scores were pretty good the X-count did reflect the tricky conditions.
Despite this, 15 shooters attended this Centerfire BR and Sporter shoot in Minto. It was really nice to see Luke C. attend again after many months of doing what teenagers do. He shot very well given that he hadn't shot in over a year.

Congratulations are due to Gus C. who shot a perfect 300 with 9Xs and who joins the elite Minto 300 club.  
Special mention to Norbert S. who is getting his .223 tuned and shot very well indeed. Also to John Mc. who shot two consecutive targets in which his shots went through the same hole - the cleanest I've ever seen. Unfortunately he had some equipment problems which resulted in his score for the day.

Many thanks to Wayne K. for being the Match Director and the scorer and also to Don M. for verifying the scores. The ROs were Grant P. Sr., Terry McN. and Bert deV. Targets were changed by John Mc., Terry McN., Bruce B., Dave C. and Bert deV.   Treats were provided by Grant P. Jr. and his girlfriend who was on hand to observe. Many thanks to all.
