NOVEMBER 15, 2015 - MINTO - AGM and .22 FUN SHOOT

The 2015 Annual General meeting of the Minto Gun Club Inc 1979, was held this Sunday in the new shooting building with a good show of members present. A number of business items were covered and a new executive for the club was elected.
Many thanks go to Wayne K. and the old executive for their year of dedicated service to the club, while congrats go to the new executive with our best wishes for 2016. It is not easy to serve a membership with such diverse interests.
One item of business, which I can mention here, concerns the scoring of targets when a .30 caliber rifle is used in a centerfire match. All shots made with any caliber rifle, whether .224, .243 or .30, will be scored with a .30 template. It is hoped that this will "even the playing field" for all shooters. This will be reviewed at the semi-annual meeting in May 2016.
The annual awards ceremony was held following the meeting - this is reported in the previous post.
A .22 fun shoot followed the AGM - this was particularly challenging as we had to use a rifle and ammunition provided by another shooter. This was also a standing off-arm shoot which we rarely do anymore. The top 3 shooters won a turkey - congrats to Bert deV., Terry McN. and Dave C. A pistol shoot was won by Wayne K. and Cindy P. who donated the winnings back to the club - many thanks.
