I went and got that bottle of French Ros'e for the end of the day once guns are away cheers
There are 9 sausages in a pack so I will bring three pack's. I'm a bit worried about the wine, they tell me it isn't made from barley, oats or hops.Quote:

I'm out for this one El B, guests staying the weekend
Did our set up today for the shoot and just got home --dinged my car doing it jackknifing the trailer into the bumper -bastard
We are well organized for the shoot and Rushy bringing sausages so guys bring a drink and something to throw on the bbque --see those who are coming between 8-30 -9amParakai shops next to the hot pools
OK guys so here is an old bush bashers take on this game. I met up with El B and the guys at Parakai as arranged. First impressions were that they were a decent bunch of average Joes from all walks of life just like me. After making sure everyone was there we headed off up South head to the property and circled the wagons by the barn. It was at this stage the boys got their toys out to ready them for the day. Holy fucken shit I thought. Where are the fucken rag head Taliban hiding? Take it from an old hunter there wasn't one of these things that you would be happy to hook a billy off a fire with. Serious weaponry was on display. I won't spoil the write up that the others will no doubt do but there was a clear winner on the day. Even had a blat on a couple of king hitters myself and went home and told the Missus that she needs to get some fish net stockings and head on up to K Road so a man can invest in a serious shooter. I won't tell you what she told me I could do to myself! Anyway great day and as big Arnie said in The Terminator, I'll be back. Oh and we'll done Matt, you kicked arse man!
Glad it went well, pretty sad I couldn't attend, hopefully next time.
el borracho - Im almost complete making up a swinging target...
In the form of a pull-apart A frame (to move easily) (well easier...) and the target is to spec of the USMC sniper target, being a head'ish shape (cough)
just have reinforced the hitplate welds, bearing in mind i self taught Arc welding, :XD: and to finalise the counterweight... just a thought - needs some use though.. ;)
Three of us keen to come down from up north let us know when and where.
Ok need to confirm this in the next few days but the shoot will be on the 30th of June .........please let me know for sure if your coming or not .cheers
Put me down! Very keen to make it to this!

Clashes for me, so have fun.
I may be chasing pheasants that weekend, so I'm only a possible.
I'll be in El B. Same place as last time?
+1 but it hasnt been finalised.....Quote:

RUNAS
Probably going to change to 29th as that's the Saturday guys
That is cool for me as well El B. A week out let me know the number that are coming and I will bring some sausages and some venison for the BBQ.
29th - Im keen El B...
YES! For once my roster agrees!! Will be there with Nibblet, unless my Mrs decides to calve two months early.
What's the course of fire? How many rounds will I need to make up? Haven't done any decent range stuff in a while so will have to see if I can remember how it works. Any chance of teeing up the forum chrony for this?
I'm keen
That is not very likely so look forward to meeting you bothQuote:

There's a better chance of me getting there n the 29th but still not hopeful.
We need to have a good pow wow about all of this techo stuff one day Stu because I am the sort of guy that doesn't give a toss about how fast a bullet goes or how heavy it is. All i give a toss about is that it hits the mark. On the new rifle, I proved to myself this morning that I need to spend a lot more time behind it just shooting the thing before I try to wring out too much from the performance of it as at the moment I am way too rusty at just plain shooting for accuracy. With the deer I never care whether I hit the heart in the left ventricle or the right atrium but as I am finding out shooting targets, that couple of inches makes a fucking big difference so I need to tighten up like a sphincter.Quote:

You have an 800m range at your house don't you? I think you will be a pro by the 29th
The way I am going I won't have gotten out that far by then but i will keep going.Quote:

Like barefoot said, chrony good if you can't make a real world drop chart. Whats the factory ammo your using, should have velocity specs on it, rough but will get you close at distance with a spotter.
I can give you a hand on some things if you like Rushy, I do alright out to 900 with the 308. I'm off during the day and on weekends. Can do 100m at mine.
You to RushyQuote:

Thanks for the offer I am sure I will benefit from all of your input but I want to have one more go at it by myself (as I am sure that a lot of the problem at the moment is just about my having time behind the rifle)Quote:

I'm in the same predicament at the moment. Haven't shot any of my rifles in quite a while now. Hopefully I can recall how to work them and let a couple of in the next few weeks. See what neighbors animals are up to
i havent got a rifle yet but am very interested in getting into this long range thing,can i still came along,watch and learn? cheers
I'm sure if it's alright with el b and everyone else between savage1 and myself we could let you put a few down the spout. Up to the organisers though.
I don't see why not Mayfly. That is exactly what I did last year. Even had a couple of shots and got hooked.Quote:
