I'm sure I speak on behalf of all the full-bore shooters, and others in New Brunswick, in heartely congratulating Wendy Reid (NS) for her outstanding performance at the F Class competitions held at the Bisley Ranges in the UK. Wendy won the Grand Aggregate with 774.49V.
She was one of four Maritime F Class shooters who did extremely well.
Ken Ferguson (NS) placed 3rd with a Grand Aggregate of 771.39V while Andy Webber(NS) placed 6th with 760.36V
The fourth maritime shooter was Bob Kierstead (NB) from the Fredericton area who placed 11th with an aggregate of 718.29V I remember at one of our Springfield practices, how pleased Bob was with his rifle which had just been repaired and finally shot a week or so before leaving for Bisley. He may have fired a few dozen rounds through it and then felt ready enough to go to a world F-class match. That folks, is mental preparation at it's finest (and also just plain courage)!!!
Not to be outdone, in Target Rifle (TR class), Ray Smeltzer (NS) shot a 688.78V which placed him 72nd among 825 shooters in the Grand Aggregate! John Marshall (NS) shot 608.50V and Jeff Jenkins (NS) a 541.40V
Congratulations to all and our best wishes for future successes.
