Results - RNBRA Open Team Match

5/26/2022

2 Comments

 
On May 21 and 22, the NB Fullbore Section hosted the first RNBRA Open Team Match. The match drew competitors from NB, NS, Quebec and Ontario, with 7 teams on Saturday and 6 teams on Sunday. It was a great mix of seasoned and new shooters. For some, this was their first team competition, first time shooting at 900m or first time shooting period!
Due to some last minute cancellations, not everyone had a full 4-person team. The goal of this match was to have a fun weekend, so we decided to be flexible in the scoring. In the results below, you will see "scaled" aggregates. If a competitor had to withdraw from a relay, their average score was used. If a team had 3 shooters, the relay aggregate was scaled by a factor of 1.33.

Saturday stayed cloudy and windy most of the day. While it kept the bugs away, the southerly gusts coming from behind the shooters made for tricky wind reading.

TR shot 2+10 at 600m, 800m and 900m. F-Class shot 2+15 at the same distances. There were three perfect strings on the first day:
Jacques Dugas: 50-6V at 600m
Nicole Rossignol: 50-5V at 900m
Gord Holloway: 75-10V at 600m

Gord was the last shooter with 12 minutes left; he shot his perfect string in 4min 51sec!

Take a look at those wind flags on Saturday!
First Place in Target Rifle went to Quebec Bisley with a score of 581-53V out of a possible 600-120V:
Emmanuel Gauvin, Jacques Dugas, Nicole Rossignol and Gale Stewart.

First Place in F-TR went to the Stars Team with a (scaled) score of 799-51V out of a possible 900-180V: Ken Kyle, Dan Cormier, Gord Holloway, Dick Platt (600m) and Nicole Langer (900m).

View from 800m on Sunday; they didn't believe we had set up the targets!
On Sunday the schedule called for shooting to start at 9:00am, but an unwavering mist made it impossible to see the targets. As a small breeze began to clear the fog, F-Class started 45 minutes late, while TR decided to skip the 800m relay. By lunchtime we were back on schedule.

Despite the overcast sky, the day was warm and muggy. Threat of thunderstorms concerned the Match Director, but we never did receive any rain. TR shot 2+15 at 900m twice; F-Class shot 2+15 at 800m and 900m twice.
There were three perfect strings on Sunday:
Nicole Rossignol: 75-7V at 900m
Adam MacDonald: 75-12V at 800m
BJ Nicholson: 75-6V at 800m
First Place in Target Rifle again went to Quebec Bisley with a score of 582-47V out of a possible 600-120V: Emmanuel Gauvin, Jacques Dugas, Nicole Rossignol and Gale Stewart.

First Place in F-TR went to FTR Bisley with a score of 844-59V out of a possible 900-180V: Ken Kyle, Harrison Brown, Gord Holloway and Adam MacDonald.
Congrats to both teams and good luck in Bisley!
Lunch both days was sandwiches prepared by Sobeys, with snacks provided by the Fullbore Section and water graciously donated by Ken & Deirdre Kyle (thank you!). Saturday night's dinner was attended by 24 competitors at Isaac's Way in Fredericton. All competitors received a custom made .308 hat clip by Bite the Bullet.
Thanks to everyone who helped with set up and tear down (especialy our out-of-town guests)! It was a great weekend, thanks in part to everyone in attendance being patient, kind and supportive. I hope to see you all at future matches. Thanks again!

2021 Intermaritime Team Match

On Saturday August 28, the RNBRA Fullbore Section hosted the Annual Intermaritime Team Match at St-Antoine. The Intermaritime Trophy was first awarded in 1886 and is traditionally competed for by 8-man teams from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI with 7 shots on record at 300, 500 and 600m. This year PEI was unable to enter an official team, so we invited Quebec to come. The "Invitee Team" was composed of 4 competitors from Quebec and 4 from New Brunswick.

It was a gorgeous day on the beautifully well-maintained St-Antoine range. The sun was shining and the wind was blowing. Ron and Ken even pulled out the old chalkboard scoreboards that Ron claimed were from the 1930s.
New Brunswick performed well, winning every distance and the entire match by 24 points. Nova Scotia came in second, but tied NB in V-count in every relay. The Invitees finished a strong third, losing to NS in the second and third relays only by V-count. Not too bad considering this was the first team match for several team members.
