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.
