Listowel score shoot ...results

Saturday was a great autumn shooting day. Some morning mist, burning off early in the morning. Temperatures climbed to 20 by afternoon. Winds were switchy but mainly light, usual condition, now with bermed ranges required in southern Ontario. Mirage was murky at times at 200 in the afternoon.

In BR class Brian Shoemaker won both the 100yd and 200yd portions (and the grand) with a 30br, Stolle action, Roberston stock and 36 Sightron scope. 271/275 at 100, and 259/275 at 200.
Clayton Martin was second with 269/275 at 100 and 258/275 at 200 with a 6PPC, Stolle action, Bartlein 4 grv barrel and 40X leup.

There were around 20 BR shooters.

We had 4 factory class shooters 4 remingtons.. 2-22/250, 1-243 and 1-.222.
3 were 700's and 1 was a 788. 4 shooters shot the 100yds and only 1 stayed for the 200 and thus became the winner of the agg. The winning score at 100 was 239/275. I'm not sure of the agg total.
