That top photo of Rushy could become a BIG BORE pin up poster for older ladies?

You just can’t take the good looking out of a stud no matter how many years pass Maca. I note for the benefit of the wider audience that I was not really asleep but rather posed for the photo so that it could be used for marketing purposes. Ha ha ha ha

That 3rd last photo

Trust the dude with the 416 Rigby to have a pink balloon clamped between his thighs

Brad's Mel and EBF really enjoyed the weekend.
The cleanliness of the wool shed is a credit to you guys.
Had a good sleep in there Saturday night.
Rushy thanks for the efforts on the Bbq.
Well done.
Never heard a peep from you until you were packing up in the morning.
Will be back next year.
416 Rigby might be the go.

I am starting to see a theme develop here. This year we suddenly had a flock of double rifles appear - no doubt because of the lion stage last year

Might have to have a couple of brainstorming sessions with Brads to come up with a sneaky extra stage for the next one to disadvantage doubles just to keep people on their toes

@Tuckerbox had some interesting ideas for the charging lion stage, expect it to be significantly more realistic and rapid next year...

Solo mentioned he has a drone, he seemed a little unimpressed when I suggested tieing a target to it. I even suggested using a long bit of string....

With the quality of accuracy shown on the day, there ain’t a bit of string long enough!

Or maybe we could have @Maca49 charging at us with a .22 and his sausage maker. That’d put the shits up ya.

That old sausage maker would have put the shits up ya alright

Thanks to everyone at the shoot for a great day and good company in the woolshed after the gun were put away.

Interesting momento from this weekend....

I hurt my left shoulder about 2 months ago, had some acupuncture for it, but never quite came right. Seems like I needed a bit of recoil therapy, all good for the last 3 days

That is because your 45/70 deals out smack you puncher.

450 x 3 & 1/2 OR 450 x 3 & 1/4?

Ammunition might be difficult I can't find any similar cartridges that could be reformed in my cartridge dimension books and dies to do so would be difficult to obtain. Still it would be worth the effort. Maybe try the cartridge collectors clubs to see what's available and maybe borrow one and have a smart fella lathe up some SPANZ style from solid brass.
