WE LIKE HANGING OUT AT BENCHREST SHOOTS !

FEBRUARY 23, 2020 - MINTO - CF BR RESULTS

It was a wonderful weekend in Minto - almost spring weather. A very nice taste of what is to come, (soon we hope). Warm temperatures, very little wind, a little sun, good friends and 
you have the "makins" of a darn good centerfire shoot.


This was Mike C.'s first experience as match director. Don M. showed him the ropes and those two guys did the scoring and verification as well. Targets were posted and changed by Ben F.,  Wayne K., David C., John McC. and Becky McC. The Range Officers were Darryl K., Bruce B. and Bert deV. David C. brought the coffee and the delicious banana bread. Many thanks to everyone for helping out.

FEBRUARY 16, 2020 - PETITCODIAC CENTERFIRE BR - RESULTS

The first centerfire shoot of the 2020 season in Petitcodiac was attended by 13 eager shooters who were rewarded with a bright, sunny and relatively warm day. In
comparison to some days prior to the shoot it was positively balmy. We were also blessed with reasonably light winds which were predominantly from up-range (12 o'clock). Once we had a handle on the vertical deflection, we were able to shoot pretty good scores. Congrats to Becky McC. who shot her first 100 and to Bert deV. who shot a 300/21X.
Welcome to a new shooter today. Mike A. shot very well and he also brought his girlfriend to the range. We hope she will join us in the 
future.
Today, Volker T. was the match director and the grand pooba of scoring. Dan G. helped out with verifying the scores and the stats. The range officers were Dan G., Darryl K., Mike C., and Bruce B. Targets were 
changed by Shelly C., John McC., Dan G. and Bert deV. The tasty treats were brought by Shelly C. and Dan G. Volker T. and Darryl K. were the photographers. Thanks to everyone for helping out today - it was a great shoot enjoyed by all.

FEBRUARY 9, 2020 - MINTO 1ST QUARTERLY MEETING AND RF BR - RESULTS

The first quarterly meeting of the Minto Gun Club was held today at 9:45A.M. with eight members present. After the meeting was finished, some members stayed for the first rimfire BR shoot of the new season in Minto.
It was a bitterly cold, windy day with temperatures around -27C first thing in the morning. It did not warm up much during the day, but thanks to Wayne K. the clubhouse was warm and cozy. The greatest shock came on the firing line as the cold and wind were unforgiving on the fingers (as well as the rest of us).




Everyone helped out which allowed events to run smoothly. Ben F. and Shawn R. changed the targets, Wayne K. and Guy H. scored the targets, David C. looked after the Range Officers, made
coffee, and passed out medals. Barb J. took the pics, wrote the write-up and provided the goodies. Congratulations to the winners (and to everyone for hanging in).

FEBRUARY 2, 2020 - PETITCODIAC - RF BR RESULTS

Thanks to Volker T. for the write-up and to Volker and Darryl K. for the pictures.
It was a good day to finally start our BR series at Petitcodiac Sportsman's Club with a Rimfire Open class shoot. Shooters en-route to the shoot may haverun into an occasional light flurry but we missed the snow at the shoot - I mean it didn't occur! LOL. Temperature was in the -6C range
an overcast with light winds of 12km/hr gusting to 20.
It was "Groundhog Day", but none showed up - just as well. Hopefully the lack of shadows predict an early spring.
Congrats to Gerard D. and Darryl K. who started the year out with 500/27X and 500/23X respectively.
The stove was warmed to keep shooters on waiting relays nice and warm.
There was also ample delicious goodies to enjoy - thanks to Barb J. and Dan G.

Thanks to Barb J. for the write-up and to both Barb and Darryl K. for the pics.
The second (2 of 3 shoots in 2020) annual Terry F. McNeill
Memorial Winter Benchrest Shoot was held today Feb.1, 2020 at the Lake George Gun Club. Ten shooters took part in the Open Class while four shooters participated in the Sporter Class. The weather cooperated with little windflag action.  At times though, the wind did playmischief causing much grief to the shooter. Bruce had everything organized when we arrived and everyone chipped in and helped out with the targets, Range Officer duties, lunch, and clean-up. It was nice to visit with the Chapmans who joined us for the day . Bruce provided a delicious lunch of homemade baked beans, hotdogs and rolls. We certainly missed Cecil H. as he is scheduled for open-heart surgery this week. Congratulations to the winners David C., Volker T., and Dan G. It was a great day.
