Nice one mate. Whats all this rambling about not knowing what your doing?
You will probably end up cleaning up at this shoot.
Might have to get you to give me a few pointers
Not likely Nibblet the effects of wind resistance and gravity will come in to play beyond 100 yards and then the fun will begin.Quote:

Right were all on for the 29th weather depending of course -a little rain no probs . The cost for this shoot is between 20-30$ for entry to the farm and $5 for target use so a max of either 25 or 35 bucks per shooter .We meet at the Parakai shops North of Helensville across from the hot pools at 9am --dont be late--and travel in convoy to the farm 20min north .
There will be multiple targets at multiple ranges so have drop charts pre prepared .I would suggest 40 rounds would be needed but still working on the target layout .MAX DISTANCE 860 YARDS . For those lacking range finder and someone to spot for them I will be providing this service if needed as I will run the shoot -marking -safety -spotting ........Im sure Rushy will be lending a hand with saftey around the range also .Bring something to for lunch -we will have a bbque afterward so bring a beverage and something for the hot plate
As with all shoots all firearms are to be unloaded when not shooting -bolts open and all firearms pointed in a safe direction --no fuc ups permited
Given my experience with these shoots entry is via email to confirm your position as we will limited how many can shoot due to time in the day .
As usual there is great friendly rivalry in these competitions and Matt Ryan has won this 2 years running --he must be beaten ...good luck and I look forward to a great day ----remember email me
So El B do we just guess your email address or do you mean PM?Quote:

May I suggest that this thread be merged with this one and that the title be amended to reflect the correct date, Sat 29th June?
Cheers :thumbsup:
Is this 29th June(Saturday) or 29th August (Thursday)?
June as far as I am aware Ryan
JUNE 29TH NOW given how bad the weather has been I think we need to confirm on thursday 27th JUNE that we were all on -ONLY if its going to piss down will we cancel -if its drizzel man up girls ..... of course I will be under a brolly the whole time one expects
El B can you give me an idea of the numbers you are expecting?
I think 13 in all as a few have dropped out and generally id expect a couple more to drop out -so we have 2 liberal left wing pacifist non shooter soft cocks being me and Bobby -so I will probably have Bobby work with me managing the shooters scoring , timing and spotting and 11 hard men polyfleece wearing types :cool:
Can I ask "ALL" competitors to do their best to make a drop chart for their rifles - use this link to get a free on line chart using your inputs

Why are you not going to be shooting? I have both a drop chart and software (that seems to work well in the limited amount of time I have used it). If you are taking a BBQ then I will still bring some venison steaks and sausages. Will check with you on the Friday to determine what you think will be the final number. Hey on another note I saw Matt in Gillie's latest video. Either Gillie's lens was wonky or Matt has been nose down in the trough.
I havent got a barrel that shoots the arse off flys and Matt makes me go home and cry with him kicking my arse .With he amount of people there we need better organization for both safety and fluidity - if I win any more my head will float of filled with to much ego gas --gotto to give back a some stage
Let me know if get past this El B. I struggle with this every event... :)Quote:

Good luck then, it'll be an enjoyable day even it is a bit longer :thumbsup:
Pity i can't make it along, Gem is heading up to Auckland and had already paid for the flights. I'll keep an eye on the weather and might end up shooting with Andyanimal anyway
how is Andy . shootin well
Been a while since i seen him last. He was doing a bit of shooting back then though.
Is there anything you need us to bring El B?
Also will your average town car get there fine taking into this marvelous weather we have been having.
You will be OK to the bottom of the farm.
"2 liberal left wing pacifist non shooter soft cocks being me and Bobby" -:thumbsup:love that! wish i could but havent got a rifle sussed yet,but happy to assist where ever i can,also got a 4x4 with space for four shooters,cheers
Offer is still there if you want to use my 308. Savage1 was a good dude and loaded up some more rounds for me but going to give my 338 a jam and see if I can get at least 1 hit with it. I'm assuming you have your licence and know what your doing to an extent.Quote:
