OCTOBER 1, 2017 - PETITCODIAC CF BR CHAMPIONSHIP - RESULTS

What a gorgeous day in New Brunswick. We are so lucky to have a fall like this with cool mornings (yes it was a bit frosty, near 0 degrees with frost definitely on the grass and on the windshields this morning and fog in low-lying areas), and warm afternoons. The temperatures rose to somewhere around 17C this afternoon. The sky was a light cool blue with no clouds in sight. The wind in Petitcodiac, usually quite a challenge, were benign and mostly from right to left but with lots of periods of relative quiet. If you waited for your condition to return you were rewarded with a good shot. Fifteen minutes were allowed per relay and this was lots of time to complete 10 counting shots.
The Match Director today was Volker T. who was the head scorer while Dan G. provided the verification of scores and stats. Targets were set and changed by Tony L., John McC., Brian P., Cecil H., Dan G., Darryl K. and Bert deV. The Range Officers for the match were Darryl K. and Bert deV. John C. provided for the wonderful lunch between the second and the last relays and Shelly C. brought the tasty treats for dessert. Thank you to everyone who made this match possible and such an enjoyable event.

We also want to extend a big welcome to Matt H. (and his wife) who came to shoot with us for the first time this year.

After the match was over and the scores were tabulated, everyone went to the club-house for the awards presentations. First a plaque was given to the Petitcodiac Centerfire Team that won the Terry McNeill First Annual Centerfire Match. Then a presentation of a plaque to Cecil H. who had the highest match score of the year in the regular season - 300/20X. John McC. was presented with a plaque for the highest single target score during the regular shooting season - 100/9X.
