    1000m Sight-in?

    Mery Christmas to all. I am after some advice please.
    Does any one know where in the Napier/Hastings or CHB area I could go to sight in up to a 1000m?
    The range only goes to 400m

    Cheers

    You can check your ballistics over 400m easy. Just shoot a group @ 100 then 200 and 400. Don't adjust your scope from the 100m group, the recorded drop will give you the 'real' world drop that you can then use to massage any of the ballistic calculators to give you your trajectory out to 1000m. Once you've done that double check by dailing
