Match Director and Range Safety Officer for the Coleman-Stapleford was Conrad Leroux who sends the following report. Pictures, thanks to Adam MacDonald.

The weather was great for shooting for a match that consisted of 3 relays of 2 sighters plus 10 on score, all at 900 metres. A fourth range, which was not scored, was shot by all since there was plenty of time. The TR shooters conducted circle training on their target under the tutelage of Daniel Chisholm, while the FTR shooters shot on theirs in 2 relays of 3 shooters. With the electronic system working flawlessly, the match was conducted at a relaxed pace, within a prompt time period. 

We were very happy to have two guests of Don Coleman from Quebec City: Gale Stewart and Nicolle Rossignol, who won the TR Class by a good margin. Congratulations to the winners and to all for a great shoot.

MAY 18, 2016 - RAMBLINGS OF A SHOOTING BUM

It's mid May and the RNBRA outdoor shooting season is well underway. I had the pleasure of working with a few of the guys from the Fullbore section a couple weekends ago at our target maintenance day on Batouche range at CFB Gagetown. This dedicated group did a much needed cleanup of our target storage and prepped targets for our upcoming  summer. Their hard work was rewarded with a good afternoon of shooting at 600 and 900m.    

Al Much, a Maritime shooting pioneer, trailblazer and friend recently shared a story that describes what motivates many of us who tinker with accurate firearms. ( I'll share it below ).

APRIL 30, 2016 - SEASON OPENER AND RANGE MAINTENANCE

It was a gorgeous day for being at the range. 
Seven shooters - Harrison B., Gordon H., Don C., Nick M. and a friend, (didn't get his name - hopefully someone can provide it), Mark McM. and Mike L.  turned out, cleaned up the RNBRA club house and re-faced 6 targets until about 12:00. This was a great crew who really jumped in and got a lot of work done. The mice won't recognize the place.  
Gord left with a trailer full of junk for the dump.  
In the afternoon, they even got a few shots in to sight their rifles and work the bugs out of their equipment, (there was no registration taken or money collected as these folks certainly earned their afternoon on the range).
Mike left before the shooting began in the early afternoon.  Shooting was enjoyable, sun, no bugs and up to 5 minutes in wind correction at 600 with a good mirage.
