yeah me and a mate are keen, have mildot reticle.
should be fun savage1 !!!
Do we have a date to work with at the moment, to make sure the rifles in one piece in time?
Not as yet -I am going to do the Gunslinger Tekapo shoot then sort it after that in two weeks .I need to go up there and plan some intersting shots and get everthing in place so you can turn up shoot ,have a camp fire , go fishing if you want , have a drink and the following day a plink and leave .
I thought it would be a bit of fun to do some rsange estimation with a mill reticle and will have a rifle there for anyone to mill with and then shoot with their estimated dope
That makes my RUM and 338 no good.. leaves me with 1500 rds of Tracer for the AK.. that work??
Sounds more like one of Shanes shoots everyday....
Nek Minit price will be $190 + lunch :roll:
Spanners, you can bring your big guns -its ok !If I did the major set up as Shane and organizing Shane does I would charge as well -one thing is Shanes shoots attract more the target marksman type shooter more so than pure hunting types . If it works like Shanes shoot that is a very good thing as it will show up any areas in ones shooting that needs improving -being put under a little pressure can do that .I was shooting with some hunters yesterday at the range and noticed something .The guys were competent hunter shooters but would not wind their scopes through fear of loosing a zero they had-good scopes to but not with tower turrets and on 7mm rem mags.At the 860 Target they tried to hold over ---well not a hope in hell could they hit the target ---you have to wind and have a ballistic drop table or caculator and have chronographed your bullets velocity and know its BC. I think shooters will have a good weekend and learn in the process
Spanners a month in the States will mean your back on the boat for a month so wont be in the area at the time of the shoot ??? be good if you were as you could help me with a load for my ar15 which is spraying like a does of the indian curries
Not sure when I'm going back to wk - holiday takes preference :)
Might chuck it and pick something else up
Any idea on a date?
chuck in your job ?????????? it will be around a month away -I have to organize with a mate of mine for some hard core gongs for the bigger calibres so will formalize with him and post .The intention of this shoot is a great social time after the serious time on saturday and an informal play on sunday
Have you relented on the 30 cal/magnum limit?? if so my hat is in the ring again
yep no probs 300winmag and I look forward to seeing you there .
I wouldnt stress much about the "hard core gongs" for bigger calibres.
KiwiGreg shot one of my 16mm Biz400 Plates with his 416 at 250 yards. Was quite impressive to say the least - maybe Phlip Phlop will post up the photo. But in reality you dont get a much bigger cal.
The fast 20cal rifles on the other hand - they do a fair bit of damage :)
If you are using mild steel, you will get craters no matter what thickness you use.
Its more the holes through other people steel that pisses the lenders off .The plates I think we will have should be fine .
I have just purchased a bushnell excursion spotting scope -1st focal plane with a mill dot so if it arrive quick enough we can all do some ranging with that as a part of the shoot -no range finder for the first few shots -mill and shoot - learning new tricks for some maybe
Yeah here's the pic, was impressive to watch blew the plate clean off & up the paddockQuote:

Guys I am thinking of proceeding on the second weekend of June weather dependent -how does that sit with most of you ?I will also post a course of fire doco to each participant when I make it up lol
please email me with who would be in definately so I can access number .cheers
whos coming
Hi, I would be interested, but not sure if this would be the right format to start shooting further than 200M (which is all I have done so far). I have hunted and shot on paper at the usual 100M/200M range days for a few years now so I not a total newb, just haven't shot out further than 200. Would be great to stretch out the legs of my 308 and learn something at the same time.
youll be fine are you in Auckland?if so email me your ph number
Here is a link to the longer range target we will shoot at the farm a friend of mine is reloading and helping his mate to make hits -the long range shot is right at the end around 5min.20 I think
Accuracy International. - YouTube
I would of been to embarrassed to put that video on youtube:P
How come -were they that ugly?
2 out of 5 shots is nothing to be showing off
Here is one for you
longrange Oct 2009 - YouTube
It wasnt for the shooting ability it was just a picture of the range at the end were going to -I think the guy shooting had just got the rifle also and was just begining to shoot longer shots - I dont know what size target he was engaging either
Guys , I need to know who is going to attend as I have noooooo emails so far -no emails no event .
Welcome to organising Forum events :fire:Quote:

I usualy go through the threads and PM what you need IE email address etc.
I wont be going as I just wont have the time to have rifles ready and I will be better of spending the time on a local spot I can finalize loads then sort the drops etc, All of my LR rifles have new loads to sort...new brass, different pills etc. The way things are going it will take the rest of the year to sort.
Soooooo true Lethal !!!! I was speaking to a mate of mine who is ex millatary and does things by the book and get ever so frustrated looking after the shooters that are more like kids than adults who want it all but do FA to make it happen .I will organise stuff but wont chase people as it is a bit of work to organize a good funtioning interesting event .
EMAILS BOYS TO ME
I'm a starter at this stage so long as 300wm is ok
So we are talking w/e of 8-9th? I'm booked for chasing parries, but could help with setup on the Friday if you need help.
We might go 16-17 th -- 300 win mag is fine .I am counting on my friend to come and bring his targets which he wacks with 338lm .
Please email me 300 winmag and barefoot your cell numbers so I can confirm closer to the date please
The 16th is looking good for me, but sounds like the wife wants to go fishing on the 17th so I can only do the Saturday......
