The Weatherman had predicted a pretty nice day for Sunday. It started out a bit cold and overcast with light winds but as the day wore on it became colder to the point where at least one old guy was suffering "frozen" fingers and toes. It remained overcast and the wind stayed light. Winds were from 6:00 o'clock and rarely switched. This allowed for some nice targets but no 300 scores were attained today. Unfortunately, two shooters had equipment problems and withdrew. The match was organized by match director John McC. who also verified the scoring and statistics. Don M. did an excellent job scoring the targets. Bruce B. and Dave C. were the range safety officers.
George M., who was waiting for the hand-gun shoot to begin, Volker T., Bert deV., John McC., Dan G. and Bruce B. all helped with target changing. Thanks to all for lending a hand to make this shoot a success. Oh yes, Tony L. brought up Shelly C.'s wonderful squares which were gone way before the end of the match. Many thanks.
After the BR shoot Wayne K. organized the hand-gun shoot which was attended by a record number of shooters despite the cold. Congrats to Volker T. for winning both the CF and Rimfire portions!!

Thanks to John C. and John McC. for sending the picture and results. It was a terrific day for a shoot in Petitcodiac with temperatures across the province in the "balmy" range for this time of year. It was sunny and, knowing the range at Petitcodiac, probably a bit of wind. Dan G. was the match director and head scorer with John McC. verifying. Congrats to John McC. for shooting a perfect 300 today! RESULTS - OPEN CLASS - CENTERFIRE BR: John McC. - 300/21X Brian P. - 299/12X Matt A. - 298/11X Dan G. - 298/9X Mike A. - 284/4X Tony L. - 281/1X Tom N. - 253/1X
Thanks to Wayne K. for the pictures. Our 22 shoot had been postponed from the week before when we were blessed by mother nature's winter gifts - a lot of snow. Prior to today's shoot we held the First Quarterly Minto Gun Club meeting and so we did not get started until late morning. We also competed for attendance with Petitcodiac which held a Centerfire BR match today and so missed many of our regular shooters. It was a bit of an unusual day in Minto today for the 22BR and Sporter shoot in that it was sunny, relatively warm, (I think the temperature might even have hovered around zero degrees today), and, at least in the first half of the match, NO WIND!! A great day for starting new shooters of which there were three. We welcomed Mike C. to open class, Ben F. to Sporter Class and Shawn R. also to Sporter Class. Nice to see you guys and we hope you had fun. Hope also to see you throughout 2018.
Today Don M. was the match director and chief scorer with Matt McA. and Wayne K. verifying the scores and statistics. The Range Officers were Bruce B., Dave C., Wayne K. and Matt McA. Targets were changed by George M., Bruce B., Wayne K., Dave C., Mike C., Shawn R., Ben F. and Guy H. Dave C. brought the tea, coffee, Timbits and a good piece of the birthday cake Barb J. had made for Cecil H. and Carl J. the day before. Thanks, everyone, for your help to make this a very enjoyable day at the range.

Thanks to Barb J. for sending the pictures and the write-up of the shoot. Thanks also to Bruce B. for the shooting results. This morning was chilly with very bright, bright sunshine. Many shooters devised magnificent visors for their caps. The ever-present wind even played havoc with the creative visors. Bruce B. had everything organized and the clubhouse was cozy and warm when we arrived. Everyone helped out with the shooting duties. Dave C. and Carl J. were the Scorekeepers. Range Officers were Bruce B., Wayne K., Bill H. and Barb J. The target changers were George M., Cecil H., Barb J., Wayne K., and John M. Bruce B. cooked delicious hot dogs for lunch and Barb J. brought cookies and a gumdrop birthday cake for Carl J. and Cecil H.. Everyone had a good lunch. Cecil H., one of "The Birthday Boys", did an awesome job shooting in the wind today, as well as Bruce B. in the Sporter Class. Thanks to everyone for making it a great day at Lake George.
