MARCH 29, 2026 - MINTO - RIMFIRE OPEN + SPORTER

Many thanks to Dale H. for sending the results and write-up. Also many thanks to Barb for sending the pictures.

The temperature was -5C when we arrived and slowly improved to +2C. The wind steadily increased through the morning until afternoon, 10km/hr increasing to 25 km/h with gusts to 40+ km/h. Although the temperature was rising, the increasing strong winds made it feel about the same all day, about -6C. Today's scores reflect the difficulty in judging when was the right time to squeeze the trigger. Many thanks to the Target Changers and Range Officers who all endured today’s chilling conditions.

Regardless of the cold & windy conditions, everyone seemed to be cheerful and having a very enjoyable time. I think it’s safe to say though, we are all looking forward to warmer days.
