10 & 11 Aug 2013 LONG DISTANCE MATCH AND CIRCLE TRAINING

This SATURDAY 10 August, we will hold a long distance MATCH and also a long distance CIRCLE TRAINING session, on BATOUCHE RANGE at CFB Gagetown:
- the match will be run by John Holleran.  Course of fire is 2ss15 at 800m, 2ss15@900m, and another 2ss15@900m.
- the circle training will be run by Daniel Chisholm, and will be held at 800m and then at 900m.  36 rounds should be plenty.
- you may shoot either the Match or the Circle Training.  The fee for either is $20.
- shooting will start at 10:00
- we'll shoot on electronic targets

We have Batouche booked for both Saturday and Sunday, so if the weather on Saturday looks to be threatening, we'll move both events to Sunday.  If this happens, it will be posted on the blog http://rnbrafullbore.blogspot.ca/ no later than 0600 Saturday morning.

(apologies for this relatively last minute update; originally we had scheduled the Sat. match to be at Springfield and the Sunday circle training to be at Batouche.)

-----------------------------------------------------

We had 8 people turn up.  Weather was bang on the forecast, a beautiful sunny and fairly windy day.  Three people did a Circle Training session and the other five fired the Match.
