It was a lovely day for a shoot in Minto although the day started out a bit cold with temperatures in the -9C range. The sun was out in full force and as the day wore on, it did warm up quite a bit and it was really pleasant on the leeward side of the buildings.
It was the wind - not unexpectedly for Minto - that was the real story behind our shooting today. It was quite strong most of the time although very different in different places on the range. Near the shooting building it 
seemed to run from left to right quite strongly and steadily. Flags in this area of the range did not help out much to predict the point of impact on the targets. Further down the range, flags indicated a head wind that switched from 11 o'clock to 2 o'clock and a flag in the middle of the range seemed to be the best indicator of wind effects. At any rate the effect on the target could be as much as an inch and a half as we discovered much to our chagrin.
Today's shoot was run by 
match director John McC. Scoring was done by Don M. and Wayne K. verified the scores. Targets were set and changed by Dave C., John McC. and George M.,(who kindly volunteered to help with this while he was waiting for the handgun shoot to begin). ROs today, were Bruce B., Dave C., Wayne K. and Bert deV. Tony L. brought some of Shelly's delicious squares. Thanks to all.
