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.
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.
Check out the 2023 Schedule! There's matches for everyone - beginners, practicers and competitors! It's sure to be a busy summer, with events scheduled every weekend from May through October.

On Saturday August 13, the Fullbore Section hosted a 2-person team match (aka the Bring a Buddy Match). We had a great turnout of 22 buddies! Everyone had different experience levels with competitive shooting, so we tried to pair newer shooters with those who had shot competitions before. After a safety briefing and a quick introduction on how Fullbore competitions are conducted, Adam MacDonald handed out new dry-erase plotters and provided a tutorial on how to plot while shooting.
Special shout-out to Dan and Braden, who stopped by for a quick practice on their way to the Canadian National TR Championships in Ottawa. They wanted to shoot their target rifles on an F-Class target for a challenge! Good luck at Nationals! |
