ANNOUNCEMENT: SAINT ANTOINE GUN CLUB STOEGER DAY - AUGUST 27th, 2016

JULY 16, 2016 - SAINT GABRIEL RANGE - THE GAUTREAU 600 - RESULTS

Thanks to Match Director JC Gautreau (barrel maker par excellence and all around great guy) who sent these results and the pictures."

The weather today was "variable" (to be charitable). The day started off quite innocently and nicely with just a little mirage but then went quickly to hot and sunny with lots of mirage. We also experienced 2 to 3 minutes of wind in some instances during the second relay. Then we had a bit of a thunder shower during the 3rd relay (good cause to get off the open range and let go of our "lightning rods"). Thankfully, that went away quickly leaving us with a mixed ceiling of sun and clouds that gave a perfect sight picture. However, now we had to deal with a boiling mirage between shots which was challenging to say the least.

Despite all this, some pretty good shooting was done today as you can see from the scores.

A good number of shooters came from all across the province for this event. We welcomed a few shooters that had made a long journey from Quebec as well as a few from the Magdalen islands. Hey - Saint Gabriel is now a national destination!"
