Well we got up nice and early in the morning to go to Florenceville but had failed to look at the start time so ended up being about 1/2 hour late. The whole crowd was already there and pretty much set up but had to take rifles off theline to change the targets. So all that went smoothly under Match Director Jean S.'s capable direction.
It was a sunny bright day with hardly any clouds and not even a hint of rain. It has been quite dry in New Brunswick for the last few weeks and the forest fire index is high. The range floor is hard as a rock and it took a lot of effort to pound in the flag stakes. The wind was pretty constant at 20-30km/hr which, when it flowed over the berm into the range (which is shaped like an oblong bowl), caused a lot of swirls and eddies that proved to be hard to figure out. They were the undoing of us all.
The scorers today were Ash P. and Greg S. with a lot of helpful suggestions from all of us (poor guys!). ROs for the match were Ash P. and Raymond G. Everyone walked to the target frames to change targets - a welcome stretch of the legs and a chance to warm up a little early in the match. Between the rimfire and centerfire matches, Jean S. had prepared her wonderful potatoe salad, ceasar salad, crab dip and hotdogs on the grill. What a feast in the outdoors. Many thanks Jean!
We had a new shooter - Melanie W. and her mother who was her cheering section. Welcome to both of you! A really good time was had by all today.
