JUNE 22, 2019 - ATTENTION - RNBRA APM

Hi Everyone,

The RNBRA fullbore section would like to invite all fullbore shooters to our APM July 06-07 2019 at Batouche range in Oromocto. If you could pass the following information along to any interested shooters, I'd appreciate it. I've attached the schedule and a few match notes. A light lunch will be provided both days, if anyone has any dietary issues please advise me.

Pre-registration is encouraged to help with squadding. Anyone wishing to attend can register by contacting me.

JUNE 15 and 16, 2019 - INTERMARITIME MATCH and BRITISH TEAM MATCH - RESULTS

Thanks to Adam MacDonald for sending results and pics.

"Here's pictures and scores from the Intermaritime Match. New Brunswick's score was 600-35 scaled up to 800-46. Nova Scotia's score was 798-63. Prince Edward Island's score was 774-55.

I don't have the British Team match scores. New Brunswick won that by a larger margin.

The Intermaritime and British Team Match were held in Nova Scotia this year. Team New Brunswick was formed by five NB shooters: Ken Kyle, Adam MacDonald, Perry Wright, Roly Trainer, and Ken Geddes. (Note that Gordon Holloway shot for New Brunswick in the British Team Match. ed.) In addition we recruited Ian Hogg from PEI, and wind coach Adam MacDonald. The scores from 6 shooters were scaled up to be equivalent to as if we had 8. We ended up squeaking out a victory by only 2 points! Wind was fairly light, but frequent small switches meant in order to not lose points we needed to make tiny adjustments based on the mirage on nearly every shot. It was challenging and a very fun time. We also had a great dinner at the Future Inn in Halifax. Thank you to Nova Scotia for hosting the match this year!"

JUNE 1, 2019 - RCR/CENTENNIAL MATCHES - RESULTS

On Saturday, June 1, 2019, several matches were held at the same time in St. Antoine under the direction of Match Director Ron Surette. The Fredericton Centennial Match had been scheduled for earlier in the year but had had to be cancelled due to inclement weather. It was to have been shot at 300, 500 and 600 meters.

These were the same ranges as for the RCR match scheduled for this weekend. A natural fit - especially as Ron would be the match director for both matches and the same course of fire was to have been shot as well.
In addition, this Saturday was to have been the selection of shooters for the New Brunswick Team to the Inter-Maritime and British Team Matches which will be held in Nova Scotia later in June. See previous post for New Brunswick's Team.
Thanks to Michelle Cormier for sending the results and pics.
