OCTOBER 23, 2022 - MINTO - ANNUAL CENTERFIRE CHAMPIONSHIP - RESULTS

The Annual Minto Centerfire Benchrest Championship was held on a day that started out very foggy and at 5C early in the morning. The forecast was for a pleasant day and this came true when the fog lifted revealing steady sunshine and temperatures that rose to 18C.

The wind was gusty, mostly from the left but, as is typical for Minto, it came from all directions and sometimes was not evident at all. It was tricky to say the least and many shooters were surprised to see that the point of impact was quite different for that intended. Holding off was the rule of the day and careful attention to both the direction and velocity of the wind saved many potential tens.

There are many people to thank when you have a shoot as successful as this one. Wayne K. was the match director and head scorer with John McC. providing the verification. David C., whose vehicle broke down half way to the range, (thanks - squirrels who feasted on the truck's wiring), and who was rescued by Guy H., provided the coffee, drinks and lunch. David C., Darryl K. and Conrad L. were the ROs for the match and many people helped to change the targets. Darryl K. and Wayne K. took the pics. Thanks to everyone for your much appreciated help!
