April 17 was a beautiful day for a BR shoot in Petitcodiac and 19 shooters were out to take advantage of it. It was sunny and warm ( the day started out with a frosty -4C in my yard and warmed up to a wonderful +17 at the range). Some shooters had a bit of a problem with mirage as different point on the range warmed up at different rates and the white target sheets reflected the sun light quite starkly.
What was most great about today, and very different from the last few matches, was the 
mild wind - about 5 to 10km/hr for the entire match. Winds did change around quite a bit but the prevailing wind was from the firing point to the targets. As a result some very good targets were shot with seven perfect ones shot throughout the match. There were no 300s shot but Don came oh. . so close with a 299/11X. Congrats especially to Arnold who started the match with equipment problems so that his first target had no holes on it at all but who rallied and shot a perfect 100/4X on his last target. Also kudos to all the guys who helped out fellow shooters with equipment problems - there seems to have been a few of those today. It's really nice to be part of a group of shooters (Brotherhood of Shooters John called us) who will bend over backwards to share their knowledge and experience to help others when needed.
It's also nice to be part of a group of shooters who will step up to do the work so all can have a good time shooting. Volker T. was the Match Director and scorer with John McC. verifying the scores. The ROs were Darryl K., Dan G. and Bert deV. Targets were changed by John McC., Dan G., Volker T., Cecil H., Brian P., Terry McN., Dave C. and Bert deV. Treats were supplied in abundance by Shelly C., Dan G., Dave C. and Susan, and John McC. and Dorothy. Many thanks to all for your great contributions.
