It was a cool and windy day at Batouche on Sunday. Temperature hovered around 9C and the wind ranged from 0 kph. to about 20 kph. - everyone had lots on their hands to deal with and were surprised from time to time at how much a bullet could be off course with only a little wind showing on the flags. A humbling experience to say the least. As the day progressed and warmed up a bit, the neighbourhood blackflies saw an opportunity to relieve us of our excess blood - par for the course in New Brunswick. Thankfully, the rain did not materialise until much later in the evening! 
For most of us this was the first time this year we shot at 800 M and 900 M. We were rusty and it showed in our performance. Many of us also had to deal with unfamiliar loads as the bullets we were used to last year simply aren't available this year. There were also a couple of times when the velocity of some shooter's rounds did not reach the speed of sound, which is a must for the target scoring system to register the shot.
Three relays of 2 sighters with 15 on score were shot - max score for FTR was 270; for MTR also 270 and for TR max score was 225/45V.
It was a good crowd of 19 shooters that attended shooting FTR, MTR and TR classes. George Cook was also there shooting his 6BR in long range benchrest. His long years of experience gave him the edge, shooting very respectable scores with many "V-bulls". Congratulations to the winners and to all for a good shoot (and another learning experience).
