    Bygone Era Forum Hunt Feb 2017

    Okay Guys

    Following on from this thread the other month http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...-africa-27144/ I propose we run an event in February next year.

    Now thoughts on the era we should look at and location?
    I'm thinking maybe Piropiro Flats and based on 1917?

    I like it. Everyone has to dress the era and use the same type of rations.

    Make it 1918 and I'm ready. Better still make it 1920, 1917 will have us digging holes

    I will be happy with bully beef and hard tack down in my trench Pengy. Interesting choice of year as there were more young woman around than young men. Waiting to see how Barefoot is going to arrange that little bit of detail for us.

    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

    Given the lack of people saying they are interested, it won't be hard to arrange at all

    Barefoot you have gone about it the wrong way. It is 1917 so if no one responds to a call for volunteers then send out the draft papers.

    Was anyone shooting 44 mag lever actions back then?
    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

    If people would prefer a different time period speak up, 1890's or 1950's?
    1917 was just a simple date as it would 100years.

    100 years sounds good.

    And it'll take rushy back to his childhood......
