JULY 3, 2016 - MINTO - 22BR - RESULTS

It was another fine day in Minto with the sun out all day and temperatures well within comfortable summertime range. The wind was a special challenge - it blew hard mostly from 9:00 o'clock to 12:00 o'clock and at 20 to 30 km/hr with gusts that could come from anywhere on the range at pretty close to 50 km/hr. It threw us all for a "loop", with the resulting scores not at record setting levels to say the least. The challenge was fun though and aside from a few blackflies that sought cover in the shooting building, there were no biting insects to fend off.

The day began with John McC. organizing the relays and taking our registrations. Then we all went to where the new clubhouse was being built to help raise the long walls. The building will be 24 feet by 16 feet which is over double the size of our present building. After much huffing and puffing with directions and suggestions flying everywhere, the walls were up, plumb and supported against the force of the wind. See the pictures in the next post. After some coffee, (and a smoke for some), we were ready to proceed with the match.

This consisted of 5 relays times 2 targets of 20 bulls - which meant that we weren't finished until well into the middle of the afternoon. The match director today was Matt McA. who also did the scoring along with Don M. who did the score verification and who had to leave a bit early so Wayne K. took over this task. Targets were set up and changed by John McC., Dave C., Barb J., Guy H., Dan G. and George M. Range officers today were Bert deV., Barb J., Darryl K., Bill H. and John McC. The many treats - irresistable and delicious were brought by Barb J. (what would we do without her?).
