AUGUST 11, 2024 - PETITCODIAC - RIMFIRE BR - RESULTS

Thanks to Barb J. and Dan G. for these pics and results.

Nine competitors showed up today in Petitcodiac to test their skills in the art form known more commonly as .22  Rimfire Benchrest.  The weather was awesome but a bit humid….better than January.  The wind was pretty much predictable as is evidenced by the score sheet - three perfect 500’s in first, second and third place. It was a great day!

AUGUST 4, 2024 - MINTO - 7TH ANNUAL RNBRA CENTERFIRE BENCHREST CHAMPIONSHIPS - RESULTS

Thanks to Darryl K. for sending pics.

It was a very warm and very humid Sunday in early August that set the conditions for the 7th Annual Provincial Centerfire Benchrest Championships held in Minto New Brunswick. Shooters were wiping foreheads and hands throughout the match but fortunately, no rifles slipped out of wet hands. 

Conditions, aside from the temperature which hovered around 30C and the humidity, were favourable for good shooting and as can be seen from the results, the field as a whole scored well and some very impressive scores were recorded.

Although not all directly related to the weather, several shooters had to withdraw from competition which shrank the field significantly. We started the match with 14 individuals in 2 classes of competiton and ended up with 11 by the end of the match.

Both classes of competition were shot at 100yds on the regular targets used at the Minto Gun Club. The Open class shot 10 counting shots per relay on +/- 2.5 inch bulls with the center dot modified for each caliber. In this case .30 cal had a fine dot while .24 and .22 calibers had a substantially larger X dot. The high possible for each relay was 100/10X and for the match it was 300/30X.

In Sporter Class, all calibers shot at the same 5 bulls for each relay. This resulted in a high possible of 50/5X for each relay and for the match it was 150/15X.

JULY 28, 2024 - PETITCODIAC - CENTERFIRE BR - RESULTS

A warm summer day starting out at 20C early in the morning and at 30C by the end of the match as well as very light winds to no visible winds at all combined to make this a fine shooting day. Hanging out with shooting friends topped it off! We had a great time and a very good shoot.

Thanks to Dale H. for these results and to Barb J. and Darryl K. for the pics.

It was a beautiful summer day in New Brunswick with the temperature around 20C as the shoot began and rising to 24C when it was over. The wind was reported to be difficult which would account for the lack of clean match scores in this shoot.

July 14, 2024 - PETITCODIAC - 7TH ANNUAL RNBRA RIMFIRE CHAMPIONSHIP, (OPEN/SPORTER CLASSES)

Many thanks to Darryl K. and Barb J. for the pics and results.

This was the 7th Annual Provincial Rimfire Benchrest Championship hosted for the first time by the Petitcodiac Sportsman's Club outside of Moncton, New Brunswick. Many people were involved in the organization of this match, many of whom are noted below. We want to add the organizational efforts of John C. and the liaison role with the RNBRA capably carried out by Conrad L. Thanks from all of us.

The course of fire was different for the two classes - Open and Sporter. Open class consisted of 2 target sheets of 25 small bulls typically shot at Petitcodiac for Rimfire BR matches with one shot for score on each. This resulted in a possible high score of 500/50X. Although no clean targets were shot during this match, the three top shooters lost only one point. This was due probably to the wind conditions which were described by one shooter as a "twisty split wind on half of the range floor at a time - from the south west".

The Sporter Class match was shot on the target sheet normally used by the Minto Gun Club for its Sporter class shoots and consisted of 2 sheets of 20 small bulls with one counting shot on each. This resulted in a high possible score of 400/40X. We congratulate Volker T. who shot a clean Sporter match with a score of 400/18X.

Halfway though the match all shooters were served a lunch at the clubhouse with our thanks going to Grant H. for organising this meal.

After the match 2 sets of medals were awarded - the first consisting of the club medals for first, second and third place shooters in Open Class (as this shoot was a regularly scheduled club match as well as the provincial championship). The second set of medals were the provincial RNBRA medals provided for first and second place winners in both classes.
