Match Results Van Island Precision Rifle Championship
Thank you to Match Director Will Mackeigan for running a great match. It had challenging positional shooting, snaps and the crowd favourite; the movers. The mix of cloud ,rain, sun and a touch of wind added to the complexity of the match.
Stage 2 and 4 required a quick reload of the bolt guns and the correct magnification to reacquire the target for the follow up shot before it disappeared behind the berm. For some it was the first time they were shooting in yards so adjustments on the fly helped keep the rounds on target especially from 457 m. All shooters went for the higher point value of the figure 14 on the stage 9. They were punished for this decision if they did not read the wind.
Thank you to the Service Rifle shooters for the professional job working the targets. And most of all thank you to the competitors who came out to take part and make this shoot a great success. Many of the shooters traveled a great distances and at some expense to take part. Hopefully this enthusiastic support for Precision Rifle will not go unnoticed.
It was a pleasure to see nice scores,tight groups and the friendly folks who support Precision Rifle.
See you next time down range.
Happy Thanksgiving Day!
