SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 - PETITCODIAC CENTERFIRE CHAMPIONSHIP - RESULTS

Today was a beautiful fall day in New Brunswick with light overcast conditions that were just perfect for seeing the targets. As it warmed up a little, we shed our coats and rolled up our sleeves and had to adjust to a bit of mirage. The wind was also benign with few surprises, although in Petitcodiac the wind always has a little twist here and there, and today was no exception. We had to contend with a gust or two mostly in the final relay. It was also a day in which it was wise to consider multiple flags rather than rely on "just the one in line with your target".

Mysteriously, there were only 9 shooters in attendance. We had lots of fun and enjoyed the company as well as the lunch provided by John C. with dessert cooked up by Dorothy McC. During the shooting we had cookies made by Barb J., who usually does not shoot centerfire but who drove Cecil H. and stayed to help out. Timbit were in abundance thanks to Dan G. Thanks to all of you for the good food!

Today Volker T. was the match director and head scorer with Dan G. verifying the scores and stats. Targets were set and changed by John McC., Bruce B. and Bert deV. The Range Officers were John McC. and Darryl K. Thanks to everyone for your help today.

After the shooting was done, we returned to the PSC Club House for presentation of the awards. The highest target score of 100/10X was shot during the regular season, (which was a bit short this year due to the Covid-19 epidemic), by Bert deV. who also had the highest match score (300/24X).

Today's championship had 4 shooters who shot a 300 target. Congratulations are due to Volker T., John McC., Cecil H. and Bert deV.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2020 - PETITCODIAC - THE 6th ANNUAL MARTIN F. TOPF RIMFIRE CHAMPIONSHIP - RESULTS

It was a lovely "fall" day in New Brunswick even though the summer has a couple of weeks to go. The temperature on the way to Peticodiac was a little cool but there was a hint of humidity and when the temperature came up in the late morning and early afternoon it did become a 

little more muggy - but not enough to hinder our shooting or our enjoyment of getting together for the 6th Annual Martin F. Topf Rimfire Championship. This is a great time of year for shooting!

Yes there was some wind - or to say it more correctly, the Petitcodiac winds did not disappoint. As is typical, the first relay was very quiet with an occasional hint of a breath of wind from the right. Five 250s and six 249s were shot during that first relay. This was cut in half during the second relay which gives you some idea of how the wind conditions had changed. It was stronger, came from several directions, dipped and curled and rose from the range floor. 

Looking at one particular wind-flag gave a false reading of what the bullet had to go through on it's way to the target. This may have worked during the first relay but at least 2 or 3 flags were necessary to make a predictable shot. Even then, there were some close calls and heart rates went up and down - a lot -  during the shooting. It was challenging.

Congrats for some fine shooting are due to Dan G. who not only shot a 500 target but was able to keep the shots close earning 27Xs. Also to John McC and Bert deV. congrats for their 500 targets.

Covid-19 played a role as well - not only in the shooting but also in the awards presentations and the lunch. John C. had provided for a nice lunch which was eaten between the first and second relays. Thanks to Dorothy McC. for the dessert. All the usual precautions (2m apart, hand cleaning, face masks, shooting screens etc.) were observed as much as possible.

The match was organised by match director Volker T. who also was the head scorer. Dan G. verified the scoring and stats. The range safety officers were Dan G., Darryl K. and John McC. Targets were set and changed by Chris S., Grant H. and Mike C. My apologies if I missed anyone. There were some good cookies, brought by Barb J., available during the shooting and Dan G. brought the Timbits. Many many thanks to all who made this such an enjoyable shoot.
