NOVEMBER 24, 2019 - PETITCODIAC - CENTERFIRE FUN SHOOT

Today was a good one for our last Centerfire shoot. The temperature was in the -6C range, but the wind was absent except for an occasional breeze. The wood stove provided heat and thanks to Dan G., John McC., and Tony L for the great sweets. Today's shoot was a tri target affair composed of the Fly target, the Gopher (150yds) and a grouping target for the first time ever. Thanks to all for helping with target duty and Volker T., and Dan G for R/O. Your Director, Scorer and Reporter/pics was Volker T. See y'all at the next two final Christmas matches.

NOVEMBER 17, 2019 - MINTO - AGM, AWARDS PRESENTATIONS and FUN SHOOT

It was a very busy day in Minto with the 2 hour long Annual General Meeting held in the morning under the capable chairmanship of Wayne K. who was filling in for President Dave C. David had slipped on the ice and had fallen on his back, injuring several ribs. Our best wishes for a speedy recovery go to David who, according to reports, cannot move without a good deal of pain.
Following the AGM, we held a rimfire match which was supposed to be a fun shoot. In the same vein as "teaching old dogs new tricks", we had a good stiff competition with some pretty darn-good shooting despite the cold (it was -10C - a bit early in the year for that according to all shooters who hovered around the stove after shooting their relays !!). The wind was not very strong but was reufully called "tricky" by several apparently disappointed shooters.
The match director today was Don M. who again, stepped in at the last minute and who did the scoring as well. Mike C. did the verifying while Conrad L., Wayne K. and Dale H. were the ROs. Targets were changed by Guy H., Mike C., Shawn R., Darryl K., and Cecil H. I may have missed some others who changed targets as well - sorry guys. Wayne had brought the coffee and Bert deV. the cookies. The photographer "par excellence" was Darryl K. Thanks to all for helping out today.

NOVEMBER 10, 2019 - PETITCODIAC - RIMFIRE FUN SHOOT

Thanks to Volker T. for the write-up and to both Volker and Darryl K. for the pics. 

Today we had our first shoot in snow conditions. It was cold
and, needless to say,  the wood stove was in operation. Dan G.'s supply of TimBits was appreciated and went fast.  Dan G.  was the Match Director and Scorer with Volker T. verifying.

Although it was cold, on the plus side, the wind was very light and calm for most of the match.

Thanks to all who helped with target setting and snow removal, and especially to Tony L. who made speedy repairs earlier to the many target frames that were damaged from recent use. Dan G. had a format of the 22lr 50BR, 100yd 6Bull, and the long range gopher targets.  

It was nice to see a new shooter, Becky McC., who put her Dad's coaching skills to good use. Everyone enjoyed this shoot.
