OCTOBER 14, 2018 - PETITCODIAC - ANNUAL FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP - RESULTS

It was cold this morning on the way to the range - minus 1C. Frost was on the windshield and it took a while for the car to warm up. The drive down to Petitcodiac was beautiful with a full sun in the blue sky 
lighting up the yellow, orange and red trees along the road. Even if this gorgeous drive was the only thing we were doing today and we were not going to shoot the Championship in Petitcodiac, the drive was well worth the effort.
The temperature gradually increased as the day progressed and by the final relay it was very comfortable in the shooting building. Darryl K. had brought wood and fired up the stove and this was welcome indeed.
Conditions during the day did not vary a great deal. The sun stayed out during the match and gave some shooters a bit of a problem with relection within their scopes and with mirage later in the day. 
The wind was a constant factor and switched around the range for every relay. It was pretty stiff at times - exceeding 30km/hr with gust well above that. Those shooting on the left benches had very different wind than those shooting on the right benches. I guess the trees, the road way on the left  and the roof of the shooting building would account for that.

Today Dan G. was the match director and head scorer with John McC. verifying the scores and stats. Darryl K. and Shelly C. were the Range Officers.
The targets were changed by Don M., Brian P., John McC., Malcolm McA., Bert deV. and Shelly C. Treats were brought by Dan G. Thanks to everyone for helping out.
