NOVEMBER 23, 2025 - MINTO - RIMFIRE - OPEN/SPORTER

Thanks to Dale H. for sending the results and write-up.

The temperature was -5c when we arrived and it slowly warmed up to about 2c by the end of our day. The wind made it feel much colder as it blew into the shooting building, especially during the first relays. Wind conditions were most dificult to read or predict, as they quickly switched directions and velocities. Most of the time the 3 wind flags in a row, near to far, down range toward the targets, would all be pointing in different directions and the daisy wheels could show near zero to strong gusting winds. Very brief moments of no wind, seconds only, would be observed. It proved, to many, unwise to attempt a shot during this condition.   

Only 5 clear targets were achieved all day as you will notice in the results below. Congratulations go to John Mc., George M., and Bruce B. in Open Class Rimfire, and to Wayne LeB. and Richard M. in Sporter Class Rimfire.

Overall Congratulation to the 1st and 2nd place winners of each class. Also, congratulations to all the shooters for posting very respectful scores while enduring the cold and windy conditions. Everyone is looking forward to Our Christmas Shoot, which will be our last shoot of 2025.
