OCTOBER 23, 2016 - MINTO - FINAL 22 BR SHOOT - RESULTS

The Final Shoot in 22 BR and Sporter Rifle for the Minto Gun Club, came all too early for those of us who are still in summer mode and hoping for more Indian Summer and some warm days at the range. 



It was certainly a rough awakening that all of our wishes for deferring winter might not come true as it was cold - about 7C when we got to the range - and it got colder as the day progressed. Definitely fleece lined jackets or hunting coats weather. On top of that, it was a wet day with frequent showers, drizzle, downpours and few dry spells. Our saving grace - and certainly popular with those who had shot a couple of relays and then did some ROing - was the lovely warm new club house constructed by President Dave C. and his hard working team of builders.




The wind, although this is not very unusual for Minto, was strong for most of the day, letting up a bit towards the end of the match. The prevailing wind was left to right and at about 20 - 25 Km/hr. Once in a while we would have gusts of 30 - 50 km/hr and, during one relay, all the targets were torn off the backing - thank goodness most of us had completed our relay - with the exception of Dave who had to fire an extra shot in the next relay.



Today, Matt McA. was a superbly efficient Match Director and scorer with Don M. doing a fine job of verifying the scoring and arithmetic. The Range Officers were Darryl K., John McC., Bill H. and Bert deV. (Thanks to Bert's confusion everyone got an extra 3 minutes for sighting in at the beginning of the match). Targets were changed by Dave C., Guy H., George M., Gerard D., Dan G., Bert deV. and John McC. 


Today was special because not only did we get to enjoy Barb's wonderful treats, but Dave C. cooked up some terrific hotdogs with fried onions and the softest buns it has been our privilege to sink our teeth into. Thanks everyone, for helping out to make this a special final 22BR shoot.
