    Does anyone know if a place that I can shoot beyond 200m at a target around wellington. The distances that your all talking about for the shoot have got me a little nervous. I'm confident in the rifle and will happily dial but aside from going for a walk in the bush and scaring everything in the area for someone else (it had a muzzle break haha) does anyone have any ideas?? Also realised that this shoot will be the weekend before my exams haha luckily I believe in relaxing before a test haha

    Go to the Parliament buildings. I have heard that MP's have nothing between their ears so there should be enough members there on a good day to line them up ear to ear and have at least 200 metres of tunnel to shoot in.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I wouldn't be nervous dude, should be a pretty relaxed environment with lots of knowledgeableguy's around to help and give you pointers.

    Brads setup is pretty good so as long as your ballistics are setup pretty close you will be able to fine tune it and be banging gongs all over the show no sweat.

    Just take lots of ammo

    Keen bloke Trentham has a long range. You could try contacting Petone Rifle Club or another and see if they have startd their season yet. Some target shooting clubs are happy to have serious blokes (potential F class recruits) do a bit of range testing. Google and facebook will be your freinds.

    Cheers @Bagheera, i managed to get in when they did their open day and had a great time but have since made some changes to the rifle. I'll probably just try and fine tune it as best as possible at the ranges i can access and then just go with nibblets idea of using the knowledge on the day. I'm there to fun at the end of the day

    I think some of my guns won't even be zeroed , and won't know the trajectory to 1000 yards for most of them. Lucky I ll bring a good spotting scope with me. Who wants to be my spotter bitch? :-)
