Given the weather, it's a wonder anyone came to the first centerfire shoot in Minto! As it was, seven hardy souls came out and had a good deal of fun doing what we like to do best - shoot and hang out with friends. After a while, the scores did not seem to matter because the point-of-impact was so often different from what was intended (by a large margin I must say). Needless to say, no clean targets were shot today.
The weather was the story. Although it did not snow or rain, it was cold - around 2 degrees C. "That's not cold" you say and you'd be right on any other normal spring day in New Brunswick. But today was not a normal day as the wind was awful!! It blew very hard from all directions and mostly from the sides. Sometimes it blew head on and this was the moment that an opportunity presented itself to fire without the bullet straying 2 or 3 rings on the target. The wind coming into the shooting building through the open ports made it very cold indeed. We also had to duck in case the dividers, which are weighted with some wood, would strike us or strike the benches making a clean shot nearly impossible. Gusts were likely around 40 to 50km/hr.
