MAY 12, 2019 - PETITCODIAC RIMFIRE BR - RESULTS

It was a really lovely sunny day as we followed the Saint John river out of Fredericton to head to Petitcodiac. The flooding had subsided so we were able to drive on our usual roads
which lead to the TransCanada. We enjoyed the drive so much that we ended up going at such a pace that we were the last to arrive and shot in the third relay. A good number of shooters, 16 in fact, showed up this Mother's Day to enjoy the camaraderie and the competition.
The sun stayed with us during the entire match. It was so nice to feel it's warmth and light. It also stayed quite windy during the entire match with a pre-dominance of tailwind switching to cross winds. The changes were more rapid and unpredictable during the early relays which made some shots a bit of a disappointment. Some shooters saw a nice little hole 2 or 3 rings out of the bull while others were very very relieved to have the hole touching the 10 ring. 
We witnessed some pretty good shooting despite the conditions with Gerard D. shooting a perfect 500/24X. Bert deV. came second with 500/23X while Cecil H. followed with 500/18X. Congratulations fellows!
Today, Volker T. enjoyed the responsibilities of Match
Director and head scorer with Dan G. and John McC. verifying the scores and stats. Range Officers were Bruce B., Darryl K. and Dan G. Targets were set and changed by John McC., Cecil H., Chris S., George M. and I may have missed a few other who made the walk in the warm sun. Many thanks to all of you for your help today - and to the only mother who was present, Barb J., many, many thanks for the wonderful sweets and a happy mother's day to you.
