With the announcement today that L4 restrictions remain in Auckland, I have decided to delay the event. BRADS and I have been talking over the last couple of weeks, and we are both firm on not wanting to be the shooting event that makes the news headlines for the wrong reasons in these Covid times...
My reasoning:
1) Around 1/4 of the competitors registered so far come from Auckland. Two of those specifically are helping me with running the event.
2) Level 2 restrictions around socializing after the shoot. This is a large part of the Big Bore shoot. I would rather wait till we are all able to have a bbq and share a beer, and sit around the woolshed like we have done in the past.
3) Single squad with people from all over the North Island. I know some of the large shooting events are continuing, but they have the luxury of splitting squads into geographic regions. Given the numbers who attend our event, this is not feasible.
For those who have paid upfront (thank you !), I will be in touch to arrange refunds.
