JULY 7 and 8, 2018 - RNBRA - APM - RESULTS

This from Mark McMullen (many thanks to Mark for organizing a very fine APM this year):

On July 7 and 8, 2018, the RNBRA Fullbore section hosted our Annual Prize Match at Batouche range on 5 CDSB Gagetown. I’d like to thank all the competitors and volunteers who made it possible. We had competitors travel over from PEI and up from NS. It’s always great to see the familiar faces from other provinces.

The weather was hot and humid on Friday afternoon, but the volunteers managed to get the range setup before the rain hit. Saturday started cool, but did warm up by the afternoon. The wind was steady, but still caught us off guard at times. All 300m and 600m matches were shot on Saturday. An informal dinner was held at Griffins Pub, located on base in the Canex mall, and the food, drinks and company were enjoyed by all.

Sunday was another beautiful day, with the forecast calling for a very hot and humid afternoon. The match committee decided to move everyone to one relay on Sunday, to try to finish before the heat got too bad. The wind was very switchy, with the flags and mirage often disagreeing on what was happening downrange. It made for a challenging long range day, with the 800m and 900m matches being shot. We managed to finish ahead of schedule, and get our competitors on the road home early.

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to all who came out.
