Following the fun shoot we took the opportunity to draw for a rifle on which tickets had been sold for several months. This was a CZ452 with rings and a scope. With the support of shooters from the Minto Gun Club, the Petitcodiac Sportsman's Club and others, $900 was raised to help fund the renovations to the shooting building of the Minto Gun Club. The winner of the draw was Don M. Congrats Don!

The rifle goes to Don M.

and the money goes to president David C.

The final order of business was to present the end-of-year plaques to the shooters who shot various records throughout the regular schedule and to those who won the 2022 final championships. Congrats to all!
