It was simply gorgeous out today in Minto with no clouds and sunny all day. Temperatures rose from about 0C, when we left, to about 20C by the end of the shoot. Needless to say we enjoyed our first real warm spring shoot - without winter coats, hats and gloves.
The winds were another story. Although quite mild - generally around 5 km/hr - they ranged from none at all to some relays which had to contend with stronger winds that gusted up to about 15km/hr and switched up and down the range as well as across from right to left and backwards. This caught a few shooters by surprise. You would study the wind and, satisfied that you knew what was going on, duck down behind your scope to let loose a perfect shot. The result was sometimes not at all what was expected so you look up,
only to find the flags had reversed completely. Despite this we had no cross-fires today - a good thing, eh?!!
Despite these challenges, we all had a good time. The Match Director and scorer today was Matt McA. The score verifier was Dave C. The ROs were Bruce B., Terry McN. and Bert deV. Targets were put up by Wayne K., Dave C., Terry McN., Ron M., John McC. and Bert deV. Thanks to everyone who helped out. Oh, by the way, we did miss Barb J. and her wonderful cookies and other treats!
