JANUARY 24, 2016 - PETITCODIAC CENTERFIRE BR - RESULTS

This was the first Centerfire Match of 2016 and 20 eager shooters were in attendance at the Petitcodiac Range. They cam from as far away as Grand Manan Island and Mazerolle Settlement and as close  by as Salisbury, Moncton and Sussex.

The drive down towards Moncton was quite nice although a little cool so early in the morning. We had had a couple of months to prepare ourselves - rifles, the best ammo we could make and all the other paraphernalia of shooters we drag to from the range.

The sky started out a bit somber and grey but there was no snow in the forecast. Actually this gave us good light with no glare on the targets or snow. Only towards the end of the match did the sun come out a bit - very welcome on the drive home. 

Temperatures stayed somewhere in the neighborhood of -5C so actually it wasn't terribly cold - except when standing in the wind. The winds were indeed brisk at the range - 20km/hr and most from the north. This was mostly downrange although, as usual,
the winds at Petitcodiac are never that straightforward. We experienced a good deal of twisting wind and many times were caught by a wind that suddenly came across the range. Most of our lost points were due to this although some "driver error" accounted for the occasional cuss (under our breaths of course).

Thanks are due to Volker T. who Match Director and Scorer with John McC. verifying the scoring and stats. John C. did the registrations and handled the funds.
