The annual RNBRA Smallbore Modified Target Rifle shoot was held in Woodstock at the Woodstock Rifle and Pistol Club Range. The day started out beautifully with variable cloudiness that turned into full sun and hardly any wind that turned into very light (5 - 10 km/h) winds as the day progressed. The winds were variable as well with some flags showing South while others showed North winds - quite tricky!
The shooting platforms were under the big tent which made conditions somewhat more stable and allowed us to look from shade to sun.
The Woodstock Range has a new tradition of opening major shoots with an volley of musket fire. We were honoured that Premier of New Brunswick Alward and Mr. Allen, MP for the Woodstock region, were on hand to fire that volley and to open the shoot. Thank you gentlemen!
This shoot would not have been possible - and we would not have been able to do our sport - if it had not been for the hard work of the members of the Woodstock Rifle and
Pistol Club. Many people helped put up and take down the tent; others cooked hamburgers; Paul R. was the Match Director and scorer while Bob K. was the chief Range officer with the able help of Ash P. All of you and the many more not mentioned deserve a huge thanks.
