Shooting is a great way to spend part of the Victoria Day Long-weekend - especially when you're spending it with good friends and shooting colleagues . . . and the weather is really really nice (for a welcome change). 
Today it was warm (about 24C in the afternoon), not very windy (5-10 km/hr max mostly left to right), dry (although there is a forecast for some showers later in the day) - perfect weather for firing at those tiny bullseyes down at the 100 yard 
line. Perfect also for swatting black-flies of which there were a record number today in the shooting building. The alternative is more cold so we were very happy with today's conditions.
Although not a lot of shooters could come out, we all had fun and after the first couple of relays were full of anticipation that we might shoot some possibles in Open Class. Unfortunately, that was not to be as we all dropped a point or two before the match was finished. Congrats to Bert deV. who shot the first Sporter Class 150/9X in Minto.The Match Director today was Dave C. who also did the scoring. He, and wife Susan, also made some delicious banana bread which was devoured after the shooting was done. Don M. was the score verifier. The Range Officers were Dave C. and Wayne K. Targets were set and changed by Wayne K., John McC., Dave C., and George M. who was waiting to shoot the pistol match. Many thanks to all for your help today.
