    Hey Woody
    Keen to come have a practice shoot on Saturday.
    What’s the deal there? Just turn up to the address on the competition ad? Time? Fee for a practice shot?
    Got a new Browning Hellfire 22 mag last week that needs zeroing and keen to give the 25-06 a test at the range and come along to the comp with it.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Range fee for a normal day is $20.
    On Saturday 6th March shooting will be at 300, 500 and 600 yds. So long as you already have a reasonable known 100 yd zero, we can get you on paper pretty quickly.
    If you are there by 9:30 should be all sweet.

    @JayV. Yep just turn up with yr 25-06. Be quite casual this saturday with easy going bunch. If yr rifle is not zeroed there is a zeroing range available to sort it. Cheers.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Will have to come down and check it out. Might need a flasher HP rifle. Everything I shoot is under 100 and the deer I got last week was at about 15! Thing nearly walked into me. Anyway will be good to see what my rifle is like at a longer distance. Thanks for the info.

    Hi Dynastar27
    We have a 100yrd range to zero your rifle, you just need to bring your own target for it .It might pay to get there a little earlier so you can get your rifle zeroed before we get started
    Cheers Ivan

    Went down and had a practice yesterday. Very hospitable club. They took the time to sort my gun, had an impromptu coaching session and even let me have a shot with one of their competition rifles. Learned a lot and had a great day. Really surprised how accurate a $650 second hand gun could be at 600 yards with the right coaching. Thanks heaps Te Puke rifle club. Would say a special shout out to the awesome bloke who did it all but I have forgotten your name, so sorry. You know who you are though.
