JUNE 1, 2019 - RCR/CENTENNIAL MATCHES - RESULTS

On Saturday, June 1, 2019, several matches were held at the same time in St. Antoine under the direction of Match Director Ron Surette. The Fredericton Centennial Match had been scheduled for earlier in the year but had had to be cancelled due to inclement weather. It was to have been shot at 300, 500 and 600 meters.
These were the same ranges as for the RCR match scheduled for this weekend. A natural fit - especially as Ron would be the match director for both matches and the same course of fire was to have been shot as well.
In addition, this Saturday was to have been the selection of shooters for the New Brunswick Team to the Inter-Maritime and British Team Matches which will be held in Nova Scotia later in June. See previous post for New Brunswick's Team.
Thanks to Michelle Cormier for sending the results and pics.

MAY 11, 2019 - MACGILLIVRAY/MEMORIAL MATCH - RESULTS

Thanks to both Daniel Chisholm, who, as Match Director, sent in the following results, and to Laura Kaderly who sent in the pictures.

Winds were breezy and changeable by Batoche standards, mostly running 2-4 left.  After some sunlight for the first couple of relays, it became overcast and cleared out the mirage, making it even more difficult to read things on the (downwind!) lightweight flags running down the right side of the range.  Shooters worked hard and V-bulls were a rare reward.

Results for two TR shooters:

No winner was declared because there were fewer than three entries:

Daniel Chisholm: TR - 69.2 + 70.4 + 67.3  total 206.9

Ken Geddes: TR - 51.1 + 68.4 + 60.3  total 179.8

Results for five FO shooters:

Marius deChamplain: FO - 69.3 + 65.5 + 61.1  total 195.5 (1st)

Francis Cotton: FO - 58.0 + 62.2 + 65.3  total 185.5 (2nd)

Andrew Justason: FO - 55.1 + 56.0 + 60.0  total 171.1

Perry Wright: FO - 48.1 + 58.1 + 60.0  total 166.2

Roly Trainor: FO - 56.1 + 52.0 + 51.0  total 159.1

APRIL 27 and 28, 2019 - TEXAS STATE LONG-RANGE CHAMPIONSHIP - RESULTS

Our good friends Adam MacDonald, Gordon Holloway and Ken Kyle attended this match in Texas and came home with the following results: 
Gordon (ranked "Master") placed 2nd in the tournament out of 24 FTR shooters.
Adam (ranked "High Master") was 9th in the tournament 
Ken (ranked "High Master") was 15th in the tournament 

The Match results are below but you will have to pick through the scores to see who finished where because the americans use a ranking system of High Master, Master, etc. Overall there were 92 shooters most of which were in F open and FTR. These included some of the top american shooters as well as the top canadian shooters!
