    Interest in Auckland long range shoot

    Once again the boys will put on another long range shoot in Auckland -who would like to attend .We may change areas if one of our generous members allows a shoot on his family property in the general area between Warkworth and Hellensville if not back at Northern Muriwai
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question

    I will talk with Matt who is the other half of the set up for the event and set some times which I will post .It would be great to shoot the Saturday but not the Sunday as the over seas imports have purchased the 10acre block and decided country life should change now they're there ---fucken surprise surprise--- although a session and BBQUE would be in order this time .I have a big 2 months ahead of me with dog trials so will do my best to have something in place soon

    Don't know Toby but I will be there with bells on. Besides I owe El B a serious nipple twisting. He knows why.
    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

    Hi EB, when you say long range, what exactly do you mean?.....I only have my 'hunting rig', not a 'specific' target rifle, but it would still be great to meet you felluh's....

    And you won't be the only one there with there hunting rifle. I'll be using a 19"barrelled .243 with a 2.5-8 scope so it will get well stretched.

    It is a lonely cross to bear Scouser but someone in the family has to do it
