We are quickly heading to the end of the year and the Christmas shoots are coming up. However, for a last "hurrah" in Petitcodiac, we had a Centerfire fun shoot. The targets were set up at the end of the range at the 150 yard mark. We knew this would be a different shoot but did not think that 50 additional yards could make much of a difference in the results . . Wrong !! The "little mistakes" we make at 100 yds were magnified so that hits that would have touched the 10 ring were now definitely out. Humbling to say the least and the scores reflect this. I imagine if we shot this distance more often, we would become better shooters at 100yds.
The conditions were ideal. It was not too cold to reduce the enjoyment of shooting although a good fire in the stove was required. There was almost no wind at all and the single wind flag (it was a "fun shoot" after-all) that was out there hardly moved except during the last relay. It remained overcast for the whole shoot so our sight pictures remained constant and without mirage.
A big welcome to Jim who came to watch. He was not feeling well and had to go to the hospital later that day. We hope all is well with Jim.Dan G. was the match director and head scorer. John McC. and Bert deV. shared the score verification duties. ROs were Dan G., John McC. and Darryl K. Targets were set and changed by Logan G., Brian P., John McC. and Bert deV. Dan G. brought the Timbits. Thanks, everyone, for your help today.
