AUGUST 17, 2014 - PETITCODIAC - 22BR SHOOT - RESULTS

The night before a shoot, as you are getting your gear ready for the next morning, your hopes are high thinking about the fun you'll have, the friends you'll see again and the shooting you will do. Then as you fall asleep you think positive thoughts and rehearse your shooting routine - and you even allow a fond thought or two about shooting a perfect target and perhaps of winning the match. Well for 3 New Brunswick shooters this became a reality today. Congratulations go to Darryl K. who shot a perfect score of 500 and 22Xs; Sandy MacL. with a perfect score and 20Xs and to George M. with a perfect score and 14Xs. These guys couldn't stop grinning and the praise was well deserved. Welcome to the exalted Petitcodiac 500 Club.

Today conditions were OK - overcast all day with occasional showers and temperatures in the 14C to 19C range - (wow - this is still August!). The wind was a bit tricky at times but generally fairly gentle - in the 8 to 12k/hr range. The first relay had almost no wind at all but by the middle of the second relay a steady wind with some little gusts developed. This persisted for most of the day with almost no wind again during the third to last relay. Then it picked up again with stronger emphasis. As is usual for the Petitcodiac Range, flags showed winds from many different directions. This writer obviously did not pick the right flags to watch!!

Thanks to everyone for helping out at the range today. We were overwhelmed by treats consisting of Banana Muffins to die for, Banana Bread to live by, Squares and Marshmallow treats and a box of Timbits - those who shot well must have over-indulged. Thanks go to John (and Mrs.) McC., Shelly C., Barb J. and Dan G. Thanks also go to Volker T. who was the Match Director and scorer - together with Martin T. as verifier. Thanks to Dan G. and Darryl K. who were the RSOs. A group of fellows handled the target changing duties even when it was raining. Thanks to Dan G., Brian P., Tom N. and John McC. Oh . . . and Dan G. cut the grass! Thanks Dan. Those who did not shoot well enjoyed the view!

AUGUST 3, 2014 - PETITCODIAC - CENTERFIRE SHOOT - RESULTS

Fifteen superbly skilled shooters were on hand to enjoy the first shoot in August - a Centerfire Benchrest for Score Match consisting of 30 shots on score and unlimited sighters. The weather was fine - sunny most of the day with temperatures going up to 28C

and winds moderate to about 20km/hr. We were lucky folks to be able to spend most of a day with friends, shooting and chatting and eating the wonderful sweets that Dan G. and Shelly C. brought.

We shot several different

calibers ranging from .222 Remington to 30BR. Cecil H. with his new 6mm PPC won with a perfect 300 target and enters the exalted realms of the Petitcodiac 300 Club - congratulations Cecil. The rest of us - well we shot pretty good too. At least one of us was happy to get his gear working as it should - (first match with that kit!) - and to figure out, by the time the last target arrived, what was going on. As this particular shooter is getting a little older, a 20 power scope is just not cutting it anymore. Oh well - live and learn!

RESULTS:

Cecil H. - 300/8X

Don M. - 298/11X

Brian P. - 298/9X

Shelly C. - 296/8X

Dan G. - 296/7X

 This shoot would not have been possible if many people had not pitched in to help. Volker T. was the Match Director, opened the club house, scored the targets, did the stats and sent the results as well as the pictures for posting on the Blog. Martin T. verified the scoring and calculations. Dan G., Darryl K. and Bert deV. were the Range Safety Officers. Targets were changed by Shelly C., Dan G., Logan G. and Brian P. Many thanks to all.

JULY 20, 2014 - PETITCODIAC - 22BR SHOOT - RESULTS

Thanks to Darryl K. for sending the excellent pictures and to Volker T. for sending a spreadsheet of the match results.

This 22BR shoot was the first one on the new concrete floor - reports indicate that this floor is a huge benefit to shooters with no more tipping of benches and vibrations to take one out of one's "zone". Certainly the results of today's match would argue that point. Of course, shooters abilities and light winds may have had something to do with this. Anyway, congratulations are in order to Matt McA., Volker T. and Dan G. for shooting perfect scores with a high number of Xs and adding to the Petitcodiac "500" Club.

Conditions today were very favourable with temperatures at the firing point somewhere around 20C while temperatures outside were about 33C. The wind was reported to be light while light conditions were sunny with occasional cloud cover.

As is the norm in Petitcodiac, many people pitched in to make this shoot possible and enjoyable. Volker T. opened the Clubhouse, was the Match Director and, with the able help of Martin T., was the Scorer.  Range Safety Officers were Dan G. and Darryl K. while Dan G. and Shelly C. changed the targets. John C. served as Registrar and Statistician. The wonderful sweets were brought by Barb J., Shelly C. and Dan G. Thanks are due to you all.

JULY 13, 2014 - PETITCODIAC - CENTERFIRE SHOOT - RESULTS

Thanks to Volker T. for sending this write-up and to Dan G. for the pictures of the winners.We had our inaugural shoot on the brand new concrete shooting hut floor today. Everyone was very pleased with the new look of the building and it sure was a pleasure to be able to move around without disturbing any of the shooters on the firing line. Big thanks to Dan G., Logan G., and Matt A. for carrying the shooting benches back into the shooting hut after the floor was finished.

Although it was a small turnout, all there enjoyed the day which was truly a fine one for shooting. Other shooters were attending a shoot in Minto, a long-range shoot at the Batouche Range in Gagetown, on holidays or perhaps just recuperating from the previous night's ringer toss championships.                                       

The day was sunny with very light winds and temperatures up there. Even though the wind was light, no shooters were added to the Petitcodiac 300 Club, but . . . for a while a few were being pursued. Oh well, there is always the next time. Solace was sought by indulging in the excellent treats provided by Shelly C. and Dan G.  Congratulations to the top shooters. It sure is nice to see Matt A. coming into his own - he is persistent and a fast learner for sure!

Many thanks to the following people who helped make this shoot possible:

Match Director - Volker T.

Scorers - Volker T and Martin T.

Target Changers - Dan G. and Brian P.

Range Safety Officers - Dan G. and Volker T.

JULY 13, 2014 - MINTO 22BR SHOOT - RESULTS

Many thanks to Barbara Jamieson for sending the results and the pictures below:

It was a bright sunny day with hardly a cloud in the sky. I don't know what wind conditions there were but just down the road at the RNBRA - Annual Prize Meet shoot, the wind was gusty at 25 km/hr at times and twisting down range. So it may well have been quite challenging. Thirteen shooters attended with Wayne K. being the Match Director and most everyone else pitching in to help as is usual for a shoot in Minto.
