SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 - MINTO - RIMFIRE OPEN/SPORTER - RESULTS

Many thanks to Dale H. for sending these results.

Eighteen keen shooters, coming from as far afield as Miramichi to Saint John, enjoyed a very fine day shooting the rimfire benchrest match at the Minto Ranges. Not only the shooting was a lot of fun, but also the opportunity for socialising. We caught up with the news and gossip and learned of the plans for the championship shoot in Petitcodiac next weekend.

It was a lovely fall day with the temperature starting at 5C in the morning when we drove to the range. It became quite warm at 24C at the end of the match. A bright sun was out all day. This created some sight picture problems for some shooters with glare and mirage coming from the white targets and backers.

RELAY #1

The wind changed during the day, starting as a mild left to right fairly steady wind to a bit stronger switching wind mostly from left to right. There were lots of quiet periods where the wind activating the flags was not easily visible as well as switching from all corners of the range.
