Thanks to Adam MacDonald for sending this report.
At what was truly the "last minute" a 900 meter practice/match was organised at Batouche on Sunday with Adam MacDonald as Match Director. Mike Lutes and Gord Holloway were the ROs. Nine shooter were able to free themselves up to shoot long range at short notice.
The blackflies were deadly - everyone had their issues with them.
The mirage was visible and readable and the flags generally agreed. The wind ranged from 1MOA left to about 3MOA right. These shifts meant you really had to stay on your toes but if you called it right, it would pay off. It seemed the shifts would be preceded with a change in the mirage that made one think... what's happening? . . . and then take another look and it's changed direction. That's what makes it so much fun. A good wind reading learning day.

As this was a combination "practice/Match", not everyone had a full scorecard.
