Today was the annual Ontario Rifle Association Mons Club Championship. Historically, this is a 3 X 15 round match at 1000 yards. Due to the inclement weather and pending thunderstorms for the afternoon, the format was changed to 2 X 20 round matches at 1000 yards, shot in string.
I was paired with Gord OGG. For those who don't know Gord, he was a team member that represented Canada at the World Championships this year in Raton, and has won many championships.
Weather was poor with heavy mist and fog, creating poor visibility. Wind was not a factor, but as the day progressed, visibility became worse. On our second string, Gord shot a perfect 20/20 with 16 V bulls.
The current worlds record is held by Charles BALLARD of the U.S. who shot a perfect 20/20 with 13 V bulls. Although Canada does not have a record system per say, I think Gord should be honoured for his accomplishment.
Any of you out there who have contacts with shooting magazines, should contact them and advise of this potential world record.
On a side bar, I have never shot with Gord, and being my first year in F class, he shared his knowledge with me and provided tips on loading shooting techniques and the like. I have found every F class shooter I have met, to be more than willing to share their knowledge and provide assistance to anyone looking for or needing it.
