MAY 2, 2021 - MINTO CENTERFIRE BR - RESULTS

It was a cool morning when we left the Nashwaak Valley for a shoot in Minto. Less than 10C - hardly what you would expect in May! The sky was overcast with only a rare glimpse of the sun here and there. Although the temperature did not increase by much, the wind also did not become what was predicted. We did not get gusts to 38km/hr but there were certainly some gusts. Winds were switching but mostly from the left. In all, some tricky and cool conditions.

APRIL 25, 2021 - PETITCODIAC - ANNUAL RF TEAM SHOOT AT 100YD - RESULTS

Well today was an interesting event for sure - a 100yd rimfire match in pretty challenging winds. The wind gods favoured us by providing sunshine and no rain plus nice temperatures. The winds were fairly light (and tricky) before noon, but afterwards, the wind did pick up with varying direction and intensity. Shooters scoring "Tens" in the first relays were happy to get "Nines" at times on the second relay. It was all good competition and camaraderie - a full day of good shooting.

Mid-way through the match we stopped for a meal. Thanks to John C. for arranging the food and facilities. Everyone was well fed. Thanks also to Dorothy McC. for the tasty sweets. And to Barb J. as well for the tasty sweets enjoyed in the shooting hut throughout the match.

Thanks to all the people helping out with Range Officer duty including Mike C., Bruce B. and Darryl K. Thanks also to those who helped to change the targets including Charles McQ., Chris S., Dan G., Dale H., and John McC. Thanks also to John McC. and John M. for verifying the scores and stats. Thanks especially to Volker T. who organized the match, was the match director and did all the scoring.

Unfortunately, there was a hiccup in the end-of-match calculations which showed Minto Team #1 as having taken first place. Further review, long after the shoot was over, found an arithmetic error which placed them behind Team PSC. Apologies for this error to those shooters affected. Your Match Director, Volker T.

Individual medals were presented to the highest 3 individual shooters. Mike C. shot the best individual score of 385/4X; Volker T. was second best with 379/13X and Matt McA. was next with 377/12X. The top team will have its members' names engraved on a club plaque.
