DECEMBER 8, 2019 - PETITCODIAC CHRISTMAS SHOOT
PSC Christmas Shoot
Although it was a very cold morning with -13C and -20C windchill, everyone was upbeat for the last big shoot of the year. The sun was bright, requiring the sun shades to be installed. There was a lot of glare off the snow on the range. All bays were used, but there was still some room to gather around the stove for the upcoming relay of shooters.
A variety of fun targets were used by your friendly director such as the "Good Luck", "Know Your Limits", "Flies", and "Crows". There was the occasional friendly dig about these targets from shooters. Really, the Grinch was not around, lol. The winners of turkey prizes were Tony L., Matt McA., Bruce B., and John M. respectively. A draw for nicely wrapped gifts prepared by John C. was held for the remainder to wrap up the shoot. At noon a tasty hot meal was served up by Bev T. and Joanne S. Extra food was brought along by Dave C., Bruce B., and John McC. Sweets were also provided by Shelly C. Thanks all for the excellent cuisine. And thanks to all for the routine target work and range duties. On behalf of the PSC Rifle Committee we wish you a Merry Christmas and Healthy New Year . Per VMT, director. Thanks also to Darryl K. for the pics.

DECEMBER 1, 2019 - MINTO - CHRISTMAS SHOOT RESULTS
It was a wonderful day for the last shoot of 2019 in Minto - the Annual Christmas Turkey Shoot. No - we did not shoot at turkeys - but 4 shooters did take turkeys home. 
Today, the match director was Don M. who was also the head scorer with Dale H. verifying. Targets were changed by Mike C., Cecil H., and Bruce B. The ROs were Volker T., Norbert S., George M., Conrad L. and Mike C. Many thanks, guys, for all your help.
Because this was the Christmas shoot, a Christmas meal was provided by the Club and by several members. David C. brought coffee, chili and his delicious brown bread. Wayne K. brought baked beans; Darryl K. brought Joanne's delicious meatballs; Bill H. brought chocolates; Barb J. brought her delectable mince-meat pies and Bert deV. brought an assortment of cookies and soft drinks. It was a wonderful meal at the end of a wonderful year of shooting together.When the match was completed, scored and the scores were tallied, David C. handed a large turkey to the winners of both the open and sporter classes - Conrad L. and Mike C. respectively. The second place winners - Cecil H. and Wayne K. received a slightly smaller turkey for some good shooting. I think we all had a lot of fun today. Every shooter received a draw ticket and was able to select one of the presents brought by each member.
David C. also made special mention of Barb's generous donation of her own baking for each of the rimfire shoots this year. He expressed the Club's thanks and presented Barb with a complimentary membership for herself and for Carl.
Finally, the much anticipated drawing for the 45x45 Sightron Scope donated by Peter Dobson of Hirsch Precision, took place. Norbert S. was the lucky winner. We thank Peter for his generous donation and also thank all those who bought tickets and thereby supported the building and shooting programs of the Minto Gun Club. This year saw the completion of a small pistol shooting building and a full program of shooting competitions as well as fun shooting.RESULTS - OPEN CLASS RIMFIRE BR:
