August 23, 2015 - MINTO 22 BR - RESULTS

This weekend's 22BR shoot took place in Minto with 15 shooters attending. It was a terrific day although pretty warm and humid - so much so that one shooter brought a towel to keep face and hands dry. The "Weatherman" had promised thunder showers that did not materialize although the sky was pretty cloudy - quite different from the blue sky and sunny morning on the drive to the range.

The winds were tricky to say the least. We had about 10 different flags on the range between the firing point and the 50 yard target frames. Those closest to the shooters were almost always indicating a right-to-left wind direction - with occasional lulls in the wind. Further down range it was a "dog's breakfast" of conditions with winds coming up-range sometimes, right-to-left sometimes and left-to-right sometimes. The wind velocity also changed frequently. A nightmare if you are determined to shoot a perfect target.
The Match Director today, was
Matt McA. who also scored the targets with verification done by Dave C. Targets were changed by a big crew of people including Barb J., Carl J., Terry McN., Dave C., Bruce B., John McC. and Gerry J. The ROs for today were also a big grouop with Matt McA., Terry McN., Carl J., Barb J. and Bert deV. doing the honours. As is now a fixed feature of our shoots, Barb J. generously provided the treats - delicious banana and a cinamon bread. Many thanks to all who helped out to make this shoot a good one!

Shooters made some very good shots in these conditions with half of them losing 4 points or less - pretty impressive eh? Four shooters were tied at 397 with second and third being decided by a coin toss (normally there would be a shoot off but all had cased their equipment already). Congrats to the winners and to all for a good shoot.
