Today was the date of the Annual General Meeting of the Minto Gun Club which happened under the efficient chairmanship of the president David C. This is usually done before the scheduled shoot.
The day started out cold with about -5C in my driveway. By the time we started shooting, it was still cold at about -2C, a temperature that felt a lot colder due to the biting wind that came into the shooting building through the gun ports. By the end of the day, the temperature rose to about +5C. Winter is here it seems.
The wind was the real story in our shooting conditions. It was tricky, as usual for Minto, with many switches and up-and-down velocity. There was no predominant wind but most frequently across the range from 9 o'clock or from about 2 o'clock. It also lingered as a head or tail wind. Many points were lost in the time between sighting and pulling the trigger. At least everyone was exposed to the same conditions. There was no sun today and the overcast sky provided a good sight picture.
There were some notable shooting results today despite the conditions. In Open class Cecil H. shot a clean match with a score of 400/25X. Congrats Cecil! In second place came our friend Wayne K. with an almost clean match of 399/14X. For a man who keeps doggedly shooting for many years this must be a very satisfying result. Congrats to Wayne! In Sporter class, Richard M. shot a clean match with a score of 400/22X. This is the first time that Richard shot a clean match and he now joins the Minto Sporter class 400 Club. Congrats Richard!
Thanks to all the people who stepped up to help out today to make the match work well.
