OCTOBER 9, 2017 - ALL COMERS MATCH AND ANY RIFLE/ANY SIGHTS MATCH - RESULTS

Many thanks to Don Coleman, Match Director for this match, for sending this report and the pictures.

The "All Comers Match" which had been sheduled

for last week was shot today as the ranged was taken by the RCR for their training last week. This made it necessary to fire the "All Comers Match" and the "Any Rifle/Any Sights" match at the same time.

A sunny day with afternoon temperatures near 20C made for pleasant conditions on the last day at Batouche Range for 2017. Winds were southwesterly and fairly light in the morning but picked up with gusts to 20 kms in the afternoon. Fishtailing and quickly changing winds caused scores to drop significantly at 500 and 600 meters.

Note: There were only a few people who fired at 900 and this consisted of training. Daniel Chisholm fired a few shots at 900.

We warmly welcomed two new shooters, Josh White and Nick Buchanan who enjoyed the shooting and will join next year.
