OCTOBER 21, 2018 - MINTO - FINAL 22RF CHAMPIONSHIP - RESULTS

Sunday was a cold day in New Brunswick with a thick coating of frost on the car - quite a change from yesterday! We were a bit tired from Saturday's drive and shooting and some of us had not slept as well as
we might have hoped. Nonetheless, we were full of anticipation for this annual final rimfire shoot in Minto.
We arrived early at the range where Wayne had already fired up the stove and the club-house remained cozy warm for the entire day. The shooting
building, by contrast, was cold. The wind began blowing in earnest by about the third relay and, true to the Minto range, remained strong for the entire match and could switch in an eye-blink from one direction to another. It was very hard to read and even harder to adjust to. In addition, the sun was out all day, which was a bit bright on the targets for the first half of the match. Even so, some shooters shot well with no points lost on several targets and only one or two on many others.
We welcomed Lorie M., George's daughter to her first ever shoot!!
The match director for this match was John McC. The head scorer was Don M. and the score verifier was Ben F. The range officers were Barb J., Dave C. and Bruce B. Targets were changed by Ben F. and Shawn R., who did the lions share, aided by Mike C. and Wayne K.
About halfway through the match Dave C. and Barb J. began cooking hot-dogs which
were welcome by that time. Barb had also brought several breads and macaroons. Dave C. had brought Timbits and Wayne K. had brought a molasses cake (from his birthday). It is safe to say that all shooters did not go hungry. Many thanks to all who worked hard to make this championship shoot a successful and enjoyable one.
