AUGUST 28, 2016 - FLORENCEVILLE 22BR AND HANDGUN - RESULTS

It was a great day on Sunday, August 28th at the Florenceville Club

We had 6 people shooting the handgun match & 12 shooters taking part with the smallbore match.  In the morning, at the handgun shoot, the winds were nil...and the temperatures were great.

As we started shooting the smallbore match in the afternoon, the winds came up a bit and proved to be a bit tricky as they swirled from left to right tail winds continuously.

Pictures are from the handgun match (got too busy and forgot to take pics during the smallbore shoot).

AUGUST 21, 2016 - PETITCODIAC 22BR - RESULTS

It sure was a beautiful day for a Benchrest shoot in Petitcodiac. Although the sky was heavily overcast in the morning, by the time we arrived at the range the sky was clear and the sun was out. It was quite bright all day and the temperatures rose to about 25C by the time we were ready to head home. The wind was all over the place but, generally, if you waited for your condition to return, you were rewarded with a good shot. As a result, some very good scores were recorded today with congrats going to Darryl K. who shot a 500/27X and Dan G. who shot a 500/15X.
The pictures today are of the guys who worked to make this shoot possible. The Match Director was Volker T. who also was the head scorer. John McC. and Tom N. were the score verifiers. Targets were changed by John McC., Dan G. and Bert deV. ROs for the match were Darryl K. and Dan G. Thanks everyone for helping out. Thanks are also due to Barb J. who brought a good chunk of her anniversary cake and to Shelly who brought her delectible treats.

AUGUST 14, 2016 - MINTO CENTERFIRE BR - RESULTS

It was totally rainy day in Minto last weekend - it rained hard when we got up, it rained just as hard on the way to the range, it rained buckets while we were shooting and it rained on the way home. Despite this we had a good time and shot pretty well to boot.
The temperature stayed around 12-15C so it felt a little cool (a lot of us wore jackets for the first time this summer). The wind was a pretty consistent right to left with gusts coming through the hollow - a few surprises but not extreme.
Today, Wayne K. was the Match Director. Don M. was the head scorer while Wayne K. verified the scores. Thank goodness for John McC. and Tony L. who had rain coats and Dave C. with an umbrella - these fellas did all the target changing. Bert deV., Dave C. and John McC. served as ROs.

AUGUST 7, 2016 - PETITCODIAC - CENTERFIRE BR - RESULTS

Another wonderful shoot in Pretiticodiac. The temperature was just great with a cool morning and warm afternoon. No rain - not even clouds. The wind was very mild but did shift around a lot with the prevailing wind from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock.
Twelve shooters were on hand to enjoy the day with friends and target shooting. What more can one ask? Because there were only 2 relays, the shoot went pretty quickly and by 1:00pm we were on the highway heading home.
Today, Volker T. was the match director and score verifier while John McC. was the scorer. The ROs were Darryl K. and Dan G. Targets were set and changed by John McC., Arnold F., Bert deV. and Darryl K. The treats were compliments of Shelly C (who could not be here but Tony L. brought them for her) and Dan G. Many thanks to all for helping out to make this shoot enjoyable.

JULY 31, 2016 - MINTO - 22BR - RESULTS

It was a beautiful day in Minto for the 22 BR shoot and 17 shooters showed up to take advantage of the weather and the camaraderie. The temperature rose from a lovely 12C to about 28C but it stayed cool in the new Club House and also in the shooting building. The sky remained a gorgeous blue with no clouds to speak of - resulting in a bit of a glare on the targets but not really bad at all. The story was the wind. On the way to the range there was no wind at all but true to form, the
Minto range had all sorts of wind ranging from nothing at all (only the tails on the indicators ruffling a bit) to some gusts that approached 20km/hr(daisy wheels spinning so fast the petals were a blur). Most of the wind came from 9 o'clock to 1 o'clock although changes could come from any directions. From one relay to another you could count on an entirely different prevailing wind and there was a good deal of clicking of scopes going on. Some surprises were in store with bullets holes appearing where they weren't expected. Despite all this, some pretty good shooting took place although no 400s were recorded.



 

Today, Wayne K. was the match director. The scorer was Matt McA. and Wayne verified the scores. The target crew consisted of Bill H., Dave C., Bert deV., John McC., Barb J., Sandy McL., Gerard D., George M., Darryl K. and Terry McN. - many hands make light work! ROs were Bert deV., Barb J., Bill H., and John McC. Many thanks to all for your help. Many thanks also for the wonderful treats brought by Barb J. and Dave C.
