AUGUST 29, 2021 - PETITCODIAC CENTERFIRE BR - RESULTS

The sun was out all day and the temperature hovered around 24C in the later stages of the match. The wind was very light to not visible and coming from 6 o'clock. In short - ideal conditions for shooting - except - the mirage was brutal. It was not only hard, but almost impossible, to see your target rings and patient calculation was required to figure out the center of the target. The bullet holes (depending on how small they were) were hard to find at times.

Despite this, some very good target scores were recorded with 5 shooters reaching the elusive clean targets. Congratulations are due to Guy H. who finished first with a 300/20X. Bert deV. was second with 300/18X tied by Danny G.  Mike C. shot a 300/17X and John McC. a 300/11X. These last 2 guys deserve special mention as this was Mike's first clean match 300, while John shot with eye-surgery complications. Well done all!!

The Match Director and scorer was Danny G. and John McC. served as verifier. Mike C. and Bert deV. were the ROs. The targets were set by Tony L. and changed by John McC., Malcolm McA., Don M. and Logan G. The treats were brought by Tony L. and made by Shelly C. Danny G. brought the Timbits. Thanks to all.

AUGUST 22, 2021 - MINTO - CF BENCHREST and RNBRA CF BENCHREST CHAMPIONSHIP - RESULTS

Last Sunday was the last CF Benchrest shoot in Minto for the month of August and shot at the same time, the RNBRA Centerfire Benchrest Provincial Championship hosted by the Minto Gun Club. It was a fine day for a shoot although it did get a little warm in the afternoon. The sun was out all day so it was bright with some glare on the targets which seemed to bother very few shooters. Mirage, although present and somewhat bothersome, did not seem to bother many shooters either. The wind was generally quite manageable and was predominantly from 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock with infrequent and lazy switches at, at most, about 10km/hr. Very nice conditions for centerfire - but enough to keep the shooters on their toes.

An organizing committee for the RNBRA Championships had been struck at the last Minto Gun Club AGM. Conrad L. was the Chairman of the committee with members David C., Wayne K., Don M. and Bert deV. making the preparations for this event. All the feedback received was positive and the championship match was a success from both the shooters' and organizers' point of view. We look forward to the Rimfire Benchrest Championship on September 5th, also hosted by the Minto Gun Club.

AUGUST 15, 2021 - PETITCODIAC RIMFIRE BR - RESULTS

Sunday was a perfect day for a Rimfire BR match in Petitcodiac with the sun out all day and very light winds in the first half of the match. The wind did pick up a bit and became more switching and less predictable in the afternoon.

The conditions certainly helped shooters to post some very impressive scores. Congratulations go to the following shooters who shot clean targets - Bert deV. - 500/35X; Dale H. - 500/29X; Volker T. - 500/28X; David C. - 500/24X Matt McA. - 500/22X and Danny G. - 500/16X.

AUGUST 8, 2021 - MINTO RIMFIRE BR SHOOT - RESULTS

It started out cool and foggy early this morning on our trip to Minto, New Brunswick. Over night it had rained hard and the roads were still wet with puddles. Just before we started shooting, the sun came out and we all thought it might be a hot humid day but this was not to be. It turned out to be a comfortable temperature in the low 20s with the sun out for the entire match. The wind was very difficult to predict with predominant winds from the right and also straight from the targets to the shooters. Although direction was simple enough, the velocity was so hard to read that we managed few clean targets and even fewer Xs. Congratulations go to Matt McA. who shot a clean 400/23X and won the "Open" class with Bert deV coming second with a 400/19X.

AUGUST 1, 2021 - PETITCODIAC CENTERFIRE BR - RESULTS

Sure, and it was a glorious day for a shootin' match in Petitcodiac. The sun was shining as if there were no tomorrow and there were a few fluffy balls of clouds skating across the sky. The wind was kind, coming mostly from the left with a few switches and plenty of quiet times. The conditions, with the exception of mirage, could hardly have been better. As a result, we had a lot of fun and shot pretty well besides - no clean targets but pretty well just the same.
