On Saturday and Sunday we will be shooting The Atlantic Championship which includes four matches representing the Atlantic provinces. The match fee is $110, payable at registration. Round count will be 132 rounds including sighters (all matches will be 2+10). Awards will be held at dinner on Sunday evening in Fredericton (exact location TBD).

On Monday we will be shooting the Mini-Palma, is a traditional team match between Atlantic Canada and Eastern United States; it will be held on Monday, September 2. Each country will select one team to compete that includes 6 target rifle shooters and 4 F-class shooters. There will be three relays shot at 900m; round count will be 51 rounds per shooter (including sighters). The awards ceremony will be held Monday afternoon at the range. 

The Canadian Mini-Palma team will be selected on Sunday based on results from the Atlantic Championship. Held concurrently with the Mini-Palma will be a separate individual match which anyone not shooting the Mini-Palma is welcome to attend. There will be one medal for the highest score of all classes shooting this match. 

All matches will be held at Batouche Range on electronic targets. Shooters are required to bring a wifi-enabled device (tablet, smartphone, laptop, etc). 

A BBQ lunch will be provided on all three days. 

These matches were originally scheduled to be in PEI, but due to unforeseen circumstances with the DND Alexandra Range availability, they have been moved to New Brunswick. If you have already registered for PEI and can still attend, you will receive a refund for the reduced match fee.

Please extend this invitation on our behalf to your team members, coaches, assistants and guests. Pre-registration is required for both matches. RSVP to myself by responding to this email. Attached is an official invitation letter for those travelling across the border. Hope to see you all in NB,

Adam
RNBRA Fullbore Section Chairman
Match Director, Atlantic Championship
