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.

4 Weekends away team!!!

For sum laughs mofos

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

Cheers @Nibblet I reackon it's gonna be a damn good weekend.

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

Clay target shooting?

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? :-)

I am in the same boat with the trajectory as I have no idea what speed the .338 will be doing. I'll spot for you if we are on the line at the same time Friwi.

Just need one person to bring a chrony.

Sort ya shit out guys. You've had 12 months

If i remember in time one target will be marked in inches vertically at 400yrds

Then you can adjust your velocity in your ballistic calculator to match your actual inches of drop

That sounds entirely to technical for me
