Bring a Buddy - May 6 2023- Results

On a sunny Saturday in May, 31 competitors got up bright and early and traveled to St-Antoine Gun Club for the first NB Fullbore match of the season. It was a great turnout with a good blend of experienced and beginner shooters. St-Antoine range was windy and beautiful. Thank you to Ron, Ken and others who helped set up the targets and got everything ready.

This match was organized as an introduction to Fullbore competition. Competitors were grouped in twos and threes and were encouraged to work together. Everyone was given an introduction handout and then Adam gave a talk on reading the wind.

Adam talked about how reading the wind is more than just looking at wind flags. There are four pieces of information available to competitors:

• Wind Flags
• Mirage
• Other Shooters
• Your Previous Shots

A shooter can look at these four inputs and build confidence in their understanding of the wind before taking their shot.

Due to time constraints, we shot two matches at 600m. Competitors were given the option of shooting 2+10 or 2+15, pair fire or string shooting. First shot was fired at 10:30am. The sun shot bright and the wind blew hard all day, which made for great conditions to practice in.

F-Class Scores

** tie broken by countback
* 10 shots scaled to 15

Competitor scores for those that shot 2+10 are below. I've scaled their scores as if they shot 15 for the above results. Ties are broken by "countback," which means the we look at their last shots to break the tie. For example, if Dwight's shot #15 was a 5 and Terry's was a 4, Dwight wins the tie.

Thanks to everyone who came out! I hope you can make to a few more matches this year.
