DECEMBER 11, 2016 - PETITCODIAC CHRISTMAS SHOOT - RESULTS

Well, here it is, the eagerly awaited Petitcodiac Christmas shoot and the last shoot of the 2016 season.


Twenty four shooters gathered on a cold, windy and bright sunny day to do some end-of-the-year fun shooting, to celebrate a wonderful year that's almost over and also to get together for Christmas.


The Match Director was Volker T. who also did the scoring while Dan G. was the score verifier. ROs were John McC., Dan G. and Bruce B. Targets were set by Chris S., Darryl K., Dan G., Logan G., and Tony L. 


We were again treated during the shoot by Barb J. and Shelly C. to some delicious banana bread, squares, fudge, and, of course, Dan's traditional Timbits. Thanks everyone, for helping out with this shoot and for the gastronomical delights.


The real story today is the meal we all shared in between relays - so many people contributed that I may have missed someone. If this happened, my apologies beforehand. 


There were Terry McN.'s world famous beans
(didn't last long); Bev T. and Joanne K.'s delicious chili (also didn't last long). There were rolls and biscuits (thanks Joanne K. and Dorothy McC.). There were more treats than you could "shake a stick at" - totally hard to resist. 

Thanks are due to all and especially to Bev T. and Joanne K. who gave up their day to prepare the food for us. With our rounded bellies we went back to the range and tried to shoot some more - hard to do when you're at a stage in life when a little nap might be welcome.



All the prizes today were arranged by John C. Shooting prizes were turkeys that happily went to a good home with John C., Matt McA., Tom N. and Dan G. - anticipating a nice warm oven. If, by some strange twist of fate, or a frown from the wind-gods, you did not win a turkey, there was a draw for other prizes - everyone went home with a prize - what a nice idea!!


This was also an opportunity for the Petitcodiac Sportman's Club to present awards to the top shooters in other disciplines during the year - Shelly C. and Tony L. Congratulations on some very fine shooting!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !
