The Annual Petitcodiac Fly Shoot took place last Sunday. The Fly Shoot is kind of special in that we only shoot on little pictures of flies in different positions - 30 rounds with a centerfire rifle at 100yds. A direct hit on the head is worth 5
points, thorax - 4 points, abdomen - 3 points and a wing - 2 points. Any touching shot - subtract 1 point for the value of that body part. It is quite challenging! Aiming for the head can result in big points but can also result in "0" if the wind is not read perfectly. Oh yes -there was a time limit! Lots of fun, lots of laughs and the inevitable jokes about big game hunting and fly steaks.
The shoot was organized by Match Director John McC. and also scored by him. What a challenge to score little flies with holes that could appear anywhere. Many thanks John, for doing a terrific job. Scores were verified by Dan G. and Arnold F. Target setters and changers were a motly crew of John McC., Bert deV., Brian P., Dan G., Arnold F., Logan G. and Volker T. ROs today were Volker T., Darryl K. and Dan G. Many thanks for your help fellas. The wonderful squares were made by Shelley C. and the Timbits were contributed by Dan G. Many thanks!It was very good to see Darryl K. up and around after his medical procedures. It was also nice to see Arnold F. back at the range after a long break. Welcome back guys!
