DECEMBER 13, 2020 - MINTO CHRISTMAS RIMFIRE FUN SHOOT - RESULTS.
We were lucky to be able to organise a Christmas shoot at the last minute. Most of the regions (except Region 4 around Edmunston), had returned to "Yellow" which meant that people could travel and come together in informal groups of 20. Even the Saint John region, which had stayed "Orange" longer, changed just before the shoot was scheduled to be held. Unfortunately for some travellers the roads were not in the best condition Sunday morning and so Minto hosted 11 shooters for the annual Christmas shoot.
We all agreed that we had missed getting together for shoots lately and so were willing to make the very best of this outing. We all had a lot of fun shooting and talking with each other. We all pitched in to help out with Bert deV. being the match director and Don M. the head scorer. John McC. helped to verify the scoring and statistics. The ROs for the match were Dale H., Matt McA. and Wayne K. Targets were changed by several guys with George M. and John M. leading the pack. Darryl K. took the pics. Thanks everyone!
A big special thanks to Wayne K. who got the prizes - a turkey for first place, a big chicken for second and a box of chocolates for third place (for each of Open and Sporter Class). Wayne also made the baked beans which everyone agreed were the best ever!!
Dale H. - 400/21X - Turkey
Matt McA. - 400/11X - Chicken
Dan G. - 399/15X - Chocolates
John McC. - 398/16X

NOVEMBER 15, 2020 - MINTO RIMFIRE FUN SHOOT - RESULTS
After the Annual General Meeting and the award presentations were completed, all members present enjoyed a rimfire fun shoot. This was composed of 3 targets which were made up by John McC. and which were all shot at 50 yards. The first was composed of 10 small geometric designs randomly spread out on the sheet. The second target was made with 10 small jellybeans and the third with 10 small black beans. This was quite challenging as the shadow of a bean on the target was a black strip almost indistinguishable from the bean.
Thanks to John McC. who was the match director and score verifier and to Don M. who was the head scorer. Targets were changed by George M., Mike C., Dale H. and John M. ROs were Mike C. and George M. My apologies as I may have missed some people. Wayne K. provided the coffee and the donuts. Many thanks for all your help today fellas.

NOVEMBER 15, 2020 - MINTO - AGM and RIMFIRE FUN SHOOT
The Annual General Meeting of the Mnto Gun Club was held on November 15, 2020 at the Club-house in Minto. This was followed by the presentation of the year-end awards for excellence in shooting during the regular shooting schedule. Due to Covid-19 several recipients were not in attendance. It should be noted that a good number of competitions could not be held during the year. The awards were granted for those categories of shooting where sufficient matches were held.

We changed things up a bit this year at our annual .22 Sporter competition with some different targets combined with introducing a couple of different shooting positions. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Thanks everyone for helping out. It sure makes the endeavor less stressful on this end. After the dust settled three individuals emerged victorious: Gold medal won by Dan G., Silver medal by Volker T. and Bronze medal won by Bruce B. Well done guys! (Dan. G., Match Director)

OCTOBER 25, 2020 - PETITCODIAC FUN SHOOT
We were all happy to get back to competitions after the Moncton area was changed back to Covid Yellow. The weather was sunny but the temperature didn't get over 7C. The wood stove kept us warm though. There was some moderate wind to contend with. Fortunately, there were a few windflags which helped.
Targets at 50yds were a combination of USBR bullseyes, "Know Your Limits" target, and John McC.'s famous pills-n-candies targets. For the 100yds target, Volker T. chose an elongated rectangular bull. This made for some interesting scores.
