Update on Codiac
As members know, the MFGA sponsored a lead-poisoned bald eagle at the Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. She had inoperable lead shotgun pellets embedded in her shoulder preventing her release to the wild.
Codiac continues to be an excellent teacher for the younger birds and is a testament to resilience and determination. She is a strong flier in the Flyway which helps motivate the younger birds on their own rehabilitation journeys!
Codiac continues to be camera shy - which is a good thing because it's an expression of wanting to stay away from humans, an excellent lesson for the youngsters. Here are a few recent photos.

What does AI say about Aperture sights
Here is what AI says aperture/peep sights. One of the web sites cited was the Skinner web site among a few others. As we all know, peeps use a rear disc or aperture with a small hole that forces the eye to automatically center the front post, providing faster target acquisition, greater accuracy, and a wider field of view than standard open notch or buckhorn sights.
What are the advantages? 1.Natural Alignment: Your brain and eye automatically center the front sight inside the rear aperture ring without conscious effort. 2.Increased Depth of Field: The small hole acts like a camera iris, sharpening both the target and the front post. 3.Better for Aging Eyes: By restricting peripheral light rays, it reduces the blur effect and helps older shooters focus on the front sight. 4.Maximum Field of View: Unlike a bulky scope or a notched rear blade, the thin ring leaves the target completely unblocked. 5.Speed in Low Light: Larger "ghost ring" apertures allow rapid target tracking in dim woods.

On Saturday July 18th a group of Scouts Canada Rovers had an awesome time firing different types of fi****ms at the Moncton Fish and Game Association range. Some of the Rovers had their PALs, and this event gave them a chance to get some practical experience. The MFGA was pleased to host the Rovers. Thanks to JR, Gerry and Shawn who served as Range Officers.
