It was a beautiful warm day in New Brunswick for our annual Rimfire Benchrest Team Shoot. What an amazing thing to be in late winter or early spring with no bugs, stiff wind, cold temperatures and rain two days ago and today everything is turned around 180 degrees with bugs, heat, little wind and bright sunshine today. Even if there was little wind, this is in comparison to other days' shooting in Minto. Yes, there periods of total, or what looked like total calm but on the whole the wind could exact about 1 MOA of wind-drift from center - hardly "no effect conditions".
There were two clubs represented - Petitcodiac and Minto - each fielding a team of maximum size out of which the four best scores would comprise the team score. Since two targets of 20 counting shots were shot, the maximum individual score was 400/40X. The highest possible team score was 1600/160X. All shooting was done at 100yd. with "Open Class" rules.
Minto, being the host club, provided all the targets, manpower, and a meal of delicious hot-dogs cooked by David C. who also brought drinks and cookies.The Match Director duties were shared by John McC. and David C. The head scorer was Don M. from Minto and the score verification was done by Charles McQ. from Petitcodiac. The Range Officers were David C., Matt McA. and Bert deV. Targets were set and changed by Ben F. with help from George M., Mike C. and Bert deV.
