2016 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE RNBRA FULLBORE SECTION

TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE

ROYAL NEW BRUNSWICK RIFLE ASSOCIATION

OCTOBER 16, 2016

This has been another busy year for the RNBRA Fullbore Section. We sponsored 24 matches in total, which were attended by 175 participants. Each of these matches required the services of dedicated people to prepare, set up and take down the range, to organize the event, to serve as Range Safety Officer and to set up and take down the scoring system. Many people helped in making these matches successful.

Matches Hosted by the RNBRA Fullbore Section

The following 7 Target Rifle and FTR matches were held on the Batouche Range at CFB Gagetown. We thank the base personnel for their assistance and continued cooperation with our shooting program. The "Season Opener", the "Fredericton Centennial Match", the "Memorial/MacGillivray Match", The "Coleman/Stapleford Match", the "RNBRA - Annual Prize Match", the "Long Range Practice", “The Long-Range Match”, “The Chisholm Challenge” and the "Any Rifle-Any Sight Match" drew the participation of 57 shooters.
