I don't think I have seen so many happy chappies after a sporting event EVER. Well done the Gillices. Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and the very good company that attended. I was an old bastard in a squad of younger fellows and it was a pleasure to see the enjoyment they got from participation along with their patient tolerance of someone not quite as agile as they. The weather was kind; the location high up in Mangaohane spectacular; accomodation brilliant and the shooting course certainly challenging.
Good stuff Woody, Yeah looked like a great day out by the photos Simon sent through, I had to friggen work all weekend pissed me right off I missed it
Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!
Cheers @Woody you are a bloody good shot, not bad shooter either Was a great day and a good night too. Somebody had to come last but I still had fun,
Who said holdover was no good HAHAHAHAHA
There was some fancy gear on show thats for sure.
I think it must be Richie's shout too eh @Gillie for holding up proceedings
Cheers guys. I'll post a couple of the photos when I get around to it.
Have to mention @300wsmPete for coming third in Precision Class - excellent shooting! One of only 5 competitors (out of 28) that got above 50% in points.

A summary of the stages (Mostly Precision Class):
- Stage 1 was shooting through a loop hole forcing a very specific position to be able to see and shoot the target through the loophole.
- Stage 2 was a swinging target that once hit bobs, weaves, and twists erratically and the competitors has to try and hit it again while it is doing this.
- Stage 3 was risk based. A larger target and a smaller target worth more points but any miss was worth negative points and so the competitor needs to make their choice.
- Stage 4 was the tyres. This required 4 hits on two different targets each (8 hits in total) from 8 different positions on the tyres. Fast and accurate shooting is required, smooth transitions from position to position is needed, good planning is needed such that you use every positions and decide which position on the tyres will be best for which target.
- Stage 5 was confidence based stage. Two targets but they are partially covered by "no hit" targets. A hit on a "no hit" target is worth negative points - how confident was the competitor to hit their intended target and not hit the penalty target?
- Stage 6 added in frustration as the competitor had to shoot under a camouflage net that likes to get tangled in their rifle and get in the way.
- Stage 7 was another barricade stage much like the tyres stage.
- Stage 8 was the long target stage so in precision class that was targets out to 1060m.
- Stage 9 was a speed stage - Precision class had targets at 300m, 700m and 900m and the competitor had to make 2 hits on each target in 2 minutes.
- Stage 10 was the tank trap stage - another barricade stage.
- Stage 11 was a stage where after every hit on a target the competitor had to run before they could shoot again.
- Stage 12 was a learn your limits stage where the targets get progressively smaller and smaller.
