A good crowd of 24 shooters came to Saint Gabriel to shoot 600m today. We had participants from all over the province as well as from Quebec. Welcome to Nelson LeBrun and Jean-Francois Canuel from Quebec. Welcome also to new shooter Jean-Marc Chiasson from New Brunswick and to junior shooters J.J. Bennett and Julien Gautreau. Finally, a warm "Bonjour" to Edgar Poirier who we haven't seen for quite a while. As evidenced by the smiles on the faces, we all had a good time.
The weather today was passable - that is to say it was dry (except the first relay which had a sprinkle), and overcast for most of the day but this cleared and it was periodically
sunny towards the end. Mirage was visible and became very heavy as the sun came out. The wind was quite strong from left to right for most of the day but because the range is cut out of the woods it's effect on our shooting was much reduced with the average windage adjustment around 1-2 MOA.
A special thank you goes to Match Director Paul Bastarache who was planning to shoot but when he saw the number of shooters decided to serve as full-time Range Officer. Thanks to all members of the Saint Gabriel Range who worked hard to make the range ready, to construct new target frames and set up the range on shooting day. Many thanks to Debbie Gautreau and her committee of cooks who provided everyone with a wonderful lunch of hamburgers and sausages. Finally, thanks to JC Custom Barrels for sponsoring the food at this shoot. Some of us shot very well but even if we didn't, we had a lot of fun, some trigger time and lots of chatting and that's what getting together with shooting friends is all about.
We had 16 FTR shooter including the two juniors, 4 FO shooters (unfortunately one could not complete the course of fire), and 3 TR shooters. The course of fire was 2+10, 2+10 and 2+15 all at 600m. The high possible score for all was 175V25.
