MAY 19, 2024 - PETTICODIAC - RIMFIRE BR - RESULTS

                    Thanks to Volker T. for these results and write-up. Also to Darryl K. for the pics.

 

It was a nice day for shooting rimfire. The sky was overcast, but bright with no mirage. The temperature ranged from 13-17C which was comfortable and few mosquitoes! The wind ran back and forth from east to west at 7-17km; not terribly windy, but the windflags hardly stood still, so still challenging.      

                    Congrats to the four shooters who shot clean targets: 

                    John McC. shot 500/36X, Cecil H. shot 500/30X, Barb J. shot 500/22X and 

                    Volker T. shot 500/29X.  A close X count throughout. The rest were not far behind. 

Thanks to Barb J. for the excellent sweets, to the team of Chris S. and Grant H. who did the scoring and tabulation of results. Also to our Range Officers: Chris S., Bruce B., and Volker T. Target crews were John McC., Chris S. and Bruce B. - thanks guys. Thanks to the photographers : Barb and Darryl. I hope I didn't miss anyone! 

So, a good day was had by all. It was a quick shoot with only two relays.  (Match Director - Volker T.)

MAY 12, 2024 - MINTO - CENTERFIRE TEAM SHOOT

Everyone had prepared for the Centerfire Team Shoot - one of the highlights of the shooting season. The course of fire was to shoot 30 counting shots at small caliber specific bulls over 3 relays with the four highest scores counting toward the team scores for each team. Each could be composed of as many as 8 shooters but only the four highest were included in the scoring for that team. Both the Minto Gun Club and the Petitcodiac Shooting Sports Club were represented.

The day started out with the temperature a bit on the cool side (6-7C) which, as is typical for a May day in New Brunswick, warmed up to around 18C by the end of the shooting. What made it a bit unusual was that a raw wind persisted throughout the match and many shooters kept on their winter coats while sitting on the benches with the wind coming in through the ports.

The wind was really the story of the day as it persisted all day long with gusts at least 40km/hr. It was really not steady but offered many windows where the selected conditions would come back.

Unfortunately, the day was also marred by at least 2 shooters having equipment problems that affected the outcome significantly.

MAY 5, 2023 - PETITCODIAC - CENTERFIRE - RESULTS

It was a wonderful spring day in New Brunswick when we went to the Petitcodiac range for the first centerfire match in May. Although bit cool in the morning - about 7C - it did warm up nicely to about 18C on our way back.

In the meantime, during the match, it stayed a little cool but sunny. This gave us a lot of mirage when the wind was relatively still. This disappeared when the wind picked up. It was interesting that in the first and last relays shooters were plagued by heavy mirage - so much so that it was almost impossible to see the center lines of the bulls and much of our sighting was guesswork. The middle relays, by contrast were much clearer for sighting but here we had to deal with gusty winds that were quite unpredictable.

Despite these conditions, some good scores were recorded although the X count was a bit low. Congrats go to Malcolm McA. who scored a clean target of 300/13X and also to Bert deV. who shot a 300/10X.
