FEBRUARY 7, 2016 - PETITCODIAC 22BR - RESULTS

Yesterday, and during the night New Brunswick received the biggest dump of snow so far this winter. Yesterday's match in Lake George had to be cancelled as that range was inaccessible, (for those reading this and who want to shoot at
Lake George, the match has been rescheduled for this Saturday - February 13th). 
This morning at Petitcodiac, when we arrived at the range, some fellows were hard at work clearing paths on the range so that the target stands could be put up and so we could reach the targets. Thank goodness it was still very cold (about -12C) and the snow was still powdery and light.

When we arrived the stove had been lit and was belching out a lot of smoke and good heat. This became the popular spot all day as the stove was
regularly fed with good New Brunswick wood. The range continued to be hazy at times as the smoke wafted down range with the prevailing wind which was out of the north-west.


Speaking of the wind - today you had to read it correctly or be very lucky indeed - or both -  to make a good score. The wind ranged between 15 and 25 km/hr with gusts well in excess of that. At one point the target stands blew over and targets headed down range with John and Darryl in hot pursuit. Some of us were neither good at reading the wind today and obviously were not very lucky as our scores proved beyond a shadow of a doubt.

The Match Director today was Dan G. who also did the scoring. John McC. was a very busy man today what with verifying scores and retrieving/putting up targets for most of the match. Tony L., Tom N., Bruce B. and Dan G. helped with changing the targets. The ROs were Darryl K., Carl J. and Bruce B. Thanks for your work today fellows. Treats were supplied in abundance by Shelly C., Barb J., Dorothy McC. and Dan G. This was much appreciated by all - one shooter, after looking at his last target (and tossing it into the stove), was heard to say "Well, at least I had some great treats today". How true.
Now the results.
