    Yep but the guys were twisting the dials not me. Was at 400 yards from memory
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Slightly better result today with the new rifle so a slightly happier Rushy that I have the scope sight picture issues pretty well sorted and my shooting of this rifle is improving. Still not a great result but the sphincter is down to .75MOA at 100 yards.

    Not likely Nibblet the effects of wind resistance and gravity will come in to play beyond 100 yards and then the fun will begin.

    Yeah reading wind is when the true marksman show. That's where I struggle mostly, too impatient

    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
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question
