OCTOBER 27, 2024 - MINTO - 8TH ANNUAL TERRY McNEILL RIMFIRE CHAMPIONSHIP - OPEN/SPORTER

Winter is truly on its way. Although the fall is only 1/3 gone the temperature this morning hovered around 0C on the way to the Minto ranges rising to only 7C by the time the match was over.

A good number of shooters from the southern parts of New Brunswick travelled to take part in the 8th Annual Terry McNeill Rimfire Championship. These came from areas as far apart as Mazerolle Settlement and Ludlow all the way to Moncton and Saint John.

Although the day remained clear and sunny, which was a bonus, the wind played havoc with all shooters. At times it raged at over 40km/hr and at other times it stayed relatively calm.

What was so unpredictable was that it switched suddenly and dramatically with flags all over the range rotating wildly in all directions at once. Waiting for conditions to change worked sometimes but it was necessary to have more than one preferred condition so as not to run out of time. Skill and Lady luck had to be on your side.
