JANUARY 17, 2016 - MINTO 22BR SHOOT - RESULTS

"HAPPY CAMPERS" - the best words to describe the bunch of shooters at the first 22BR shoot of 2016 in Minto, New Brunswick. Sixteen shooters arrived at the range early Sunday morning coming from all over - Moncton, Sussex,
Maugerville, Minto and Grand Lake, Fredericton, Oromocto and Durham Bridge. Welcome back to Don McI. who hasn't shot for quite a while - good to see you.

It was a pretty cold morning with temperatures between -7 and -10C and a light dusting of snow
on the vehicles - although a little  more weather was reported in the Havelock area. The sun was no-where to be seen which was both good as the light remained constant with no glare on the snow; and bad as it didn't warm up much during the day. The real challenge today was the  wind - it was strong, it was cold, it blew uprange into our faces and then would turn 90 degrees to come from the left or sometimes right. At times our carefully planned shot shifted as much as 1/2" across the face of the target. Our trigger fingers got stiff and cold and our breath condensed on the rifle stocks to run down as wet drops. Despite this, some pretty good scores were shot with one clean target - congrats to Cecil H. who shot a 400/19X. 


Thanks are due to Wayne K. for being the Match Director and scorer while Don M. verified the scoring and stats. Dave C. took the registrations and the moolah. Grant P. Jr. was on hand for club membership renewals but couldn't stay to shoot. The Range Officers were Terry McN., Barb J., Darryl K. and Bert deV. - some of these people did not warm up until well into the drive home with the car heater set at maximum! The targets were set and changed by John McC., Terry McN., George M., Dave C., Cecil H. and Bert deV. Barb J. took the pictures and she spoiled us again with wonderful muffins and squares - only one thing to say about all this work on our behalf: Thanks.

Thanks Vicky Duncan
