JULY 19, 2015 - PETITCODIAC - 22BR - RESULTS

Well, it was a good day for a 22BR shoot at Petticodiac. Although rain was forecast for the day, it only rained before and after the match. We were fortunate. And the 'wind gods' were kind  to us as well. The wind was very light, but occasionally it did spin the wind flags, and shooters had to be careful.  We even fired up the stove for short while. That's all that was needed! It kept the Score Verifier warm.

There was some good shooting done, with the medal winners all shooting 500's. And a new high score was also set. This was the first Benchrest match held with the new shooting benches and tables. The tables were constructed by John McC. and benches by Volker T. The new equipment served us well.
Thanks to Barb J., Shelly C., and Dan G. for the tasty sweets, as usual. We're sure the extra sugar was a factor in the shooting today! Thanks to Dan G., and Darryl. K. for ROing the match.Thanks to Dan G., Brian P.and Wayne K. for target changing. Thanks go to [Volker T. for the organizing and scoring - ed.] and Martin T. for score verifying.  Thanks also to John C. for accounting as well as Darryl K. and Barb J.  for the photos.  

Thanks for shooting folks, your Director, Volker T.

JULY 5, 2015 - PETITCODIAC - CENTERFIRE BR - RESULTS

Another fine day for a shoot in New Brunswick! The morning started off very nice and cool although a little muggy. By the time we arrived at the Petitcodiac range it was already quit warm with the warmest temperature today forecast to be about 28C. Despite being under cover and in the shade, some shooters perspired rivulets down their faces - while others seemed cool as cucumbers.

Rain was also forecast for the day and, although we heard rumblings of thunder towards the end of the match, we were spared the rain until the drive back home. The light, early in the match was pretty intense and some shooters had difficulty with that. After that, it became somewhat more overcast and the light evened out with excellent visibility for even the most visually challenged of shooters. As a result eight 100 targets were recorded, however the elusive 300 was not attained today.
Now the wind - a fairly steady light wind blowing from 1:00 to 3:00 o'clock. Sometimes the flags were still while other times they were active. Some flags hardly moved at all while other were turning to beat the band. Benign but typical of Petitcodiac.
The match was also very interesting from the point of view of the shooters as there were two "ceasefires" due to crossfires. One was due to a shooter not being able to read his number while the other was due to the loud bark of the rifle next to the shooter. In addition, 2 shooters withdrew from the match due to equipment failures. All in all a very interesting day of shooting.

Thanks go to the following folks:
Volker T - Match Director and scorer
Martin T. - Score verifier
Target Changers - Dan G., John McC. and Brian P.
ROs - Dan G. and Darryl K.
Photographer - Darryl K.
Treats - Dan G. and Tony L. (thanks Shelly)
