Any forum members willing to spend a day at the range with me, givr me a few pointers and advice and take my spot in the comp?

I am sure pointers / help etc will be freely given. that's usually the way it works at these things. You need a place to stay??

If you want to come up to Dovedale range and shoot out to 400m anytime let me know, i haven't shot past 400m so all new territory for me too. I just wonder if using my BDC reticle instead of dialling will be good enough, as it's all I'm experienced with

Sort of figured it was pretty low key hence why I entered

@1toeknee1 you should get in on this

Shoot is on this weekend, I hear there's about 25 confirmed entries. Anyone going along? I haven't had any time to prepare as I'd have liked so will just go for fun

not going to be going up, my to do list keeps growing and yet i am crossing things off every day

I will be there, I seem to have been roped in. Should be fun. Gonna take the SAUM as it hasn't fired a shot in over 6 months

I would like to but only so many commitments one can fit into a weekend.

I'm much the same with East Coast Trail ride this weekend over in Blenheim, at least if I shoot I'm less likely to break a leg

Just spoke to the organiser, Practice from 9am on Sat. if you need any further info email Bruce at hotlead73@gmail.com or call him on 035451309

BANG goes my sleep in then.
