Winner had 92 pts
"B" Program, 6 shots slowfire and 6 shots timed fire in 60 seconds Swiss A10 target, 12 x 10pts=120pts

Diopter, thank you so much for these pics! Way back about 35 years ago, I pulled targets at Connaught for a week during the competition that led up to the Governer Generals Match. My Dad got me the job, (he was competing) and for a week I slept in Army tents and ate mess hall food, and pulled targets in the hot sun at the 300 and 1000 yds ranges, and I had the time of my life! How many kids can say they know the sound of bullets going over their heads? In fact, I still remember being target #71 on the 1000 yd range. Back then, they had cadets doing targets 1-50, and the rest were done by various "civvy" kids like me whose fathers were in the forces. I think we got paid something like $5.00/day.
Some things are different, I see: (portapotties for one), and the score indicators that used to be on the side of the target frames that went up as you pulled the target down... I don't see those anymore there.
Anyway, I sat thru all 168 pictures and got a real lump in my throat over all the great memories you brought back... I really miss my Dad right now, but it's all good- again, thanks for bringing all those good times back

If pm or email to me your mailing address, I'll mail you a cd with all the pictures. I tihink we might have met at the Vancouver Swiss club a couple years ago for the October Schützenfest. You or your brother had a Martini action .22 target rifle?

Yes, one of my my brothers (from Langley) had a BSA .22 with a Martini action, and traded it to another brother ( from south of Edmonton) for an Anschutz. We may well have met, and I hope to meet you again, as I plan to be at this year's Schutzenfest. I wasn't able to make it to last year's, as I was vacationing in the States at the time.
I'll pm you my email address, but I did save the web address for the slide show you posted. In fact, I sent the link to my brothers so they could see it too.
