MAY 13, 2017 - MEMORIAL/MacGILLIVRAY 900M MATCH - RESULTS

Unlike last weekend, when the Fredericton Centennial match had to be cancelled because of heavy rain, this weekend was warm, bright and sunny and dry. The temperature rose to

about 20C during the day. Most of the match today was very sunny with lots of mirage. The wind was switching from left to right for the first two relays with occasional headwinds later in the shoot. It was difficult to read and our scores reflect this.

Match Director Conrad Leroux did a marvelous job of assigning relays and shooting positions given the number of technical and equipment difficulties we had. In addition,there were 4 classes for 22 shooters - TR, FTR, FO and Long-range BR. Some shooters were present for the first time and had coaching for most of the match or had to use the same rifle. A difficult organizing task for sure.

The Range Officers today were Gord Holloway, Conrad Leroux, Mike Lutes and Bert deVink. From time to time we relied on Daniel Chisholm and Adam MacDonald for their expertise with the e-targets. Thanks to everyone who helped out today.

Thanks also to all the shooters who came from all over the province to attend this 900m. match. We had shooters who came from the North - Lamecque and Saint Gabriel; from the South - Saint John and Black Harbour; the East - Saint Antoine and Moncton and the West - Florenceville and Fredericton. Welcome to the new shooters - Miguel Cormier, Matthew Lambert, Terry Carson and Tony Clark. We hope you had a good time shooting long-range and that you will be back for some more of this wonderful (and addictive) sport.
