MINTO CENTERFIRE 200 YD SHOOT - MAY 26,2013 - RESULTS

 

Today was a day full of weather surprises. Not only was it quite cool for this time of the year, but it rained off and on throughout the day making us scramble to keep our equipment dry and then back to shooting. The sun came out a few times accompanied by an increase in wind. The wind was the big story of the shoot. We were shooting 200 yds across an open pit. Flags could only be put at the beginning of the range and at the target stands. Nothing gave us a good reading of the wind which came out of the pit in unpredictable ways. The best we could do in the time allotted was to concentrate on a couple of indicators which allowed us some slight consistency in conditions. A frustrating endeavour - and our scores reflected this difficulty.

 

Today, Wayne K. was the Match Director, scored the targets and changed the targets with his 4-wheeler - all this while trying to fight off a miserable cold. Don M. was the score verifyer. Thanks to everyone for helping out.

The Range Officers for the rifle matches were Bert deV., Gerry J., and Darryl K. For the handgun matches the Range Officers were Terry McN. and BertdeV. Unfortunately, we did not have the added benefit of either Barb or Shelley's goodies today. Eleven shooters came out and we all had a great time. Congratulations to all for a very challenging shoot.

PETITCODIAC 22BR SHOOT - 19-05-2013 - RESULTS

Another beautiful day in south-eastern New Brunswick. The temperature started out quite cool in the morning and with a bit of breeze you could feel the chill through your spring jacket. If you were in the sun you felt blessed. After an hour into the shoot the temperature started to warm up and it easily reached 18 degrees by late afternoon.

The wind was another question - it was generally agreed that the wind was the most tricky in a long time with gusts coming from all directions with all sorts of speed. Most of us had problems adjusting for the wind and the scores bear witness to that. In addition, some of us had equipment problems that cost us dearly. We still had fun and look forward to the challenge next time.

It takes a number of people to make a shoot happen. In Volker's absence (hope you are having a good cruise - whoops - just heard you haven't gone yet!!), John C. was the Match Director while Shelley C. scored the targets. The Range Officers were Bert deV., Brian P., and Darryl K. Targets were changed at different times by Brian P., Shelley C., Dan G., and Darryl K. Treats today were brought by Barb J. and Shelley C. and gratefully consumed by all.

The match consisted of the standard 25 bull rimfire target. Two targets were shot with a high possible score of 500.

Matthew McA. - 496/16X

MINTO 22BR 100YD SHOOT - MAY 12, 2013 - RESULTS

Well here it is May in New Brunswick and true to form it has been raining for several days. Yes we did have fairly cool temperatures, about 15 degrees at best and lots of rain. Sometimes it even stopped so that the target changers could go down range to change the targets and then happily would pick up again. Sometimes it was just a very light drizzle that hung in the air like a fog.  Winds were most from the south at about 15 km/hr although the different wind indicators on the range would have many differing opinions both about the direction and wind speed.

 

Eleven hardy shooters could be found on the range on Mother's Day. We all had lots of fun and were challenged by both the conditions and the distance being shot. Many of us found out that the ammunition that worked so well at 50 meters does not do so well at 100 meters. Those who shot Sporter Class had the additional handicap of seeing a small 22 target bull through a 9 power scope.

Today Wayne K. was the Match Director and also, along with Mattew McA., scored the targets. The Range Officers were Gerry J. and Bert deV. And here are all the fellas who changed the targets - Guy H., George M., Dave C., Bruce B., and Terry McN. Many thanks to all who helped out.

  
Congratulations to all the winners and to all for a challenging good shoot!

PETITCODIAC - CF SHOOT - 28-04-2013 - RESULTS

Today was a beautiful day in Petitcodiac with a clear sky and sunny conditions - this was   wonderful after the cold of winter but it did introduce a bit of mirage. The temperature rose to 17 degrees C. We still had quite a challenge with wind conditions with wind indicators conflicting and showing mixed conditions. In fact there were several gusts and we learned from the handgun shooters next door that these had been strong enough to blow over their target stands - whew - we were lucky I guess that we didn't have that happen to us. So all in all mixed conditions but a really good shoot - and some very good scores.

Today, the Match Director was Volker T. who also scored the targets. Congratulations to Volker for shooting a perfect match and making an entry to the Centerfire 300 Club!
Many thanks to Dan G., Shelley C. and Darryl K. for a great job changing targets.Tom W., Darryl K. and Dan G. were the Range officers and the pictures were taken by Darryl K.

And of course, we are ever so lucky to enjoy the treats brought by Shelley C. and Dan G.

MINTO - CF SHOOT - 28-04-2013 - RESULTS

We could not have asked for a better day of shooting. Temperature started out at about 0 degrees C. in the morning but rose steadily to hit 20 C. by mid-afternoon. Not only that, but the sun was shining brightly all day which made it harder to see the white targets but which felt so good for sun deprived people coming out of a long winter. Winds were definitely in our favour,  blowing at 5 km/hr for the first few relays, but picked up a little bit towards the end so that the last relays contended with about 10 to 15 km/hr winds.

 

Today, Wayne K. took registrations and was the Match Director. Wayne also did the target scoring along with verifyer Don M.

Target changers were Dave C. and Jerry J. with a bit of help from Terry McN. during the pistol shoot. The Range Officers today were Terry McN. and Dave C. with Don M. helping out during the pistol shoot. The chef cooking the best darn hot-dogs this side of Winnipeg was Norbert S.

                                                                                                                                                                 

Today's shoot consisted of Open Class Benchrest for Score (30 rounds at 100 M), Sporter/Hunter Class Benchrest for Score (30 rounds at 100 M) and both Centrefire Pistol Class and Rimfire Pistol Class with one scoring target shot for each at 10 Meters.

PETITCODIAC - 22BR SHOOT - APRIL 21, 2013 - RESULTS

Many thanks to Volker T. for the following write-up and results.

We had a really good shoot today with temperatures from 2-8C. Despite a beautiful sunny day and definitely Spring in the air, the winds were 10-20km switching winds making for a challenging shoot for sure. And the wind was a bit cool so there were people still huddling around the stove to get some warmth, even though there was no more snow.

Thanks to all the people helping with the shoot. Volker T. was the Match Director and the humble scoremaster. Volker T. and Jeff. M. looked after the Clubhouse. John C. took registrations. Darryl K., Terry McN. and Dan G. shared the duties of Range Officer.

 

Thanks to Barbara J. and Shelley C.  for the excellent sweets, and to Dan G. of course for his regular Timbit supply.

 

A bunch of fine folks took advantage of a beautiful day to walk back and forth to the target holders and while there they changed targets - thank you to Tony L., Shelley C.,      Dan G., John L. and Brian P.

Today's shoot was an Open Class 22 Rimfire Benchrest Shoot with any rifle/any sights. Congratulations to the top three shooters - Matthew McA., Jeff M. and Volker T. and to all for a good shoot!

MINTO - 22 BR SHOOT - April 14, 2013 - RESULTS

I guess it must be Springtime in New Brunswick. The day started with a fresh dusting of snow on the ground and we had to brush snow off the vehicles. It was quite cool at first - around 0 degrees - but as the morning progressed it became warmer, the snow melted and it was mainly sunny.  Light was subdued/not terribly bright and the wind was light - maybe 5 k/hr at times. All in all a good shooting day - the proof of the pudding is in the eating - the scores today proved the conditions. Some really good shooting today!! There were also some record and unusual results. Note the two ties - one for third and one for sixth!

Thanks to everyone who helped out. Wayne K. was Match Director and along with Matthew McA., scored the targets. Carl J., Bruce B., Barbara J. and Dave C. were the Range Officers today. Carl J., Bruce B. and Malcolm McD. changed the targets. And many thanks to Barbara J. for bringing the goodies today.

MINTO - CENTERFIRE & HANDGUN SHOOT - April 13, 2013 - RESULTS

This shoot was held in Minto on a Saturday in order to make up for another CF shoot which had been cancelled due to inclement weather. Speaking of weather, this shoot was no picnic either - it was snowing pretty steadily from the time we arrived on the range until about the last relay. The wind which was also pretty steady NE at about 20 k/hr for most of the match now picked up a bit. It was the kind of cold and damp weather a fellow might shake his head at and wonder why he left his warm bed so early in the morning to go shooting.?

Well, that same fellow shouldn't wonder too too long once he stops to think that he's doing what he loves to do in the company of some pretty good shooting buddies like these. Today, 11 shooters braved the elements as well as equipment failures and glitches, (without the added benefit of sweets and treats). Wayne K. was the Match Director and, together with Charles C. scored the targets. Charles C., Bruce B., and Dave C. shared the duties of Range Officer. Bert deV., Terry McN., Bruce B., and Dave C. changed the targets - waaaay down there on the other side of the muddy hollow. Thanks to everyone for a great day of shooting and to those who worked behind the scenes.
