Fredericton Centennial Match

We will be firing the Fredericton Centenntial Match tomorrow Sat-22-May-2010 at Batouche Range, CFB Gagetown, starting at 09:00 (please show up by 08:30 to set up the range and register for the match).  The course of fire will be 2 sighters and 10 on score at 500 metres, twice, and then 2 sighters and 10 on score at 600 metres, also twice - so 48 rounds for the day.  Our match fee is still $20.  Match director is Daniel Chisholm.

Please see our schedule (link) for the rest of our matches.

Since this is still early in the year, I will have some RNBRA membership forms with me at the range.

Also, please remember that next weekend's match the RCR Centennial (Sun-30-May) has been moved to St. Antoine Gun Club.  It is also a 500m & 600m match.

Last weekend's Intro Level Circle Training at St. Antoine worked out quite well.  We had ten people on Saturday day and eight people on Sunday, including three brand new people.  It seemed to me that having the second day was really quite helpful, I think everybody on day 2 ended up building very well on day 1's work.  I was so pleased to see that the new guys really caught onto things quite quickly, and by day 2 seemed to really "get" the various judgements and involved in fullbore shooting (seeing a group form shot-by-shot, centring it up, making educated guesses about what the group, wind indicators and shooters' calls might be telling you, etc).
