OCTOBER 3, 2021 - MINTO - THE 5th ANNUAL TERRY McNEILL RIMFIRE CHAMPIONSHIP - RESULTS

The Minto Gun Club held its annual Rimfire Championship known as the Terry McNeill Rimfire Championship on a cool fall day. Although the temperature did come up from in the morning, it remained a day in which a heavier jacket was welcome.

The wind was very interesting throughout the match as it came and went. During the first 2 relays in the morning there was hardly any wind that we could see although it did have some effect on the shooting with surprising "flyers" going out. Subsequent relays had to cope with gusting and switching winds until later on in the afternoon when the wind became light and steady - very predictable. The last 2 relays could shoot almost at anytime and expect the same result.

Covid wave #4 is moving throughout New Brunswick and so we had to maintain distances and wear masks except on the firing line. This did not curtail our enjoyment of the event but did make socializing a little more difficult.

As a result, very good scores were posted by many shooters. Congratulations go to Bruce B. who won the match with a clean score of 400/21X. Also to Bert deV with a 400/21X and Mike C. with a score of 400/21X. Guy H. scored a 400/19X and John McC. scored a 400/16X. Good shooting guys!

This championship was well attended and many people worked to make it a success. We especially thank David C. and his wife who provided a lunch at very short notice.
