November, 2021

Hello from the Atlantic Provinces.

It was great to be back in Nova Scotia and the Highland Gun Club over the Labour Day weekend for the 2021 Atlantic Provinces ATA Provincial Shoot. The shoot went well despite shoot organizers having to modifying the shoot program due to Hurricane Larry. With high winds, heavy rain and the chance of thunder and lightning forecasted for much of the opening day, the Singles Class event was cancelled and the APTA Doubles moved to Day 2.

In the preliminary day event’s, Quebec’s Danny Boulet claimed the APTA Singles with the lone 100 while home club shooter Aubrey Spinney won the APTA Handicap with a 94. The win moves Aubrey to the 22 yard line. Newfoundland’s Troy Coldwell claimed the APTA Doubles with a 95.

Coldwell and Reynold d’Entremont tied for high score in the Atlantic Provinces Singles Championship with 194s. After three extra rounds Coldwell claimed the Champion title – his tenth career win. Reynold had declared Veteran category and won Veteran Champion for the third year running. Jason Weaver, originally from Nova Scotia but now living in Alberta, claimed Open Champion.

Coldwell also won the Atlantic Provinces Doubles Championship for the twelfth consecutive year. Rejean d’Entremont won Runner-up and Alberta’s Jesse Smith took the Open Champion.

In the Atlantic Provinces Handicap Championship, Highland Gun Club shooter Ken d’Eon claimed the Championship for the second year in a row. Ken earned a yard for the win and now shoots from the 25 yard line. This earned yardage marks Ken’s third yardage punch in the last year. Troy Coldwell claimed Runner-up while Jason Weaver won his second Open Champion award of the tournament. Coldwell and Weaver also claim the Closed and Open HAA and HOA awards.
