Nibblet, this is from an earlier post of El B's on page 9 of this thread, "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". Ryan / AndrewH if you see this there is no need to shit the bed to get to my place before 7 tomorrow.

Thanks El Boraccho and Matt setting up and running the shoot. Also, thanks to Rushy who kindly supplied the venison and doing the cooking. A great day out! Lastly, thanks for the people that turns up. Also, big thanks to Matt and his friend ( sorry cant remember name) for resetting, painting the target on numerous occasions. Cheers!

Bugger you should have been there it was a great day with a good bunch of guys.

Muchos Gracias El B it was a great day. Last year I watched, this year I shot. By next year my goal is to start using the windy twisty knobby thingy's on the scope. All you other fellah's are doing it so I reckon it must be easier than holding over 16 feet while also trying to hold two foot six to the right. Its a whole other fucking complicated fucking language you buggers speak though.

It certainly was a great day and the weather gods smiled kindly upon us - I can't think of many more picturesque shooting environments. Thanks to El-B for the organisation and Rushy for the tasty steaks :thumbsup:

Hey all,

First time for me - I had a great time just watching....

After the first 2 shooting stations started wishing I had brought my .270 so I could just give it a go.

Great day guys. Think I might just get into this. Just need to find the money....

That was a really great shoot. Learned a few good pointers on alternative positions to better suit the terrain. Thanks guys for putting in such a big effort for us!

Rushy hit the gong with his first shot of the day! At about 600 yards.

Had a great day with my little .308, can't wait for the next one.

I reckon we need to put some effort into sending some practice lead across my farm.

Good on ya Nibblet. Let me know how you get on. What is the optimal thickness for the plate?

Going for 16mm bisalloy 400. Should be more than enough to stop our rounds. Thinking 3, 6 and 10 inch gongs for different distances. Hopefully gongs are safe enough for your place.
