Thread: Ruahine NZDA Branch Hunter's Biathlon 2019

This event is been designed as a hunters biathlon match and as such there will be several shoot locations with shooters needing to move between the locations and employ various shooting positions to hit targets at various ranges out to about ~300m. The course time will be recorded for each competitor and will contribute to their score.

A few details:

• It'll be a 9am briefing and you are expected to have signed in before that.
• There are two courses, both courses are about 1km in length and typical course times are about 15-20 minutes,
• Targets between 20m and 350m,
• 40 shots required,
• No full length magnums (if you are using a light load in a full length magnum talk to me and I may allow it DO NOT JUST TURN UP expecting it will be fine),
• Any rifle with any scope,
• If you have a spare magazine for your rifle then bring it!
• Bring your hunting gear as you will be expected to compete in it (day pack, boots, etc. if you turn up in running gear then expect that the organisers will handicap you in some way e.g. expect to be given a weight to carry!).
• Bring gear suitable for the weather - expect cold, wet, and windy and so anything better is a surprise!

Contact details for entry, entry fee, and location details are shown on the poster. Still a few places left as well and there shopuld be a few prizes as well on the day.

Was another great shoot, thanks to Simon, Malcolm, Vince & all that got off their arses & came to have some fun

Cheers boys

Oi @Philipo, would you like to explain about the A4 target, or should I ?

Fun day, with the usual gentle Ruahine zephyr this event has become known for...

Good to catch up with some of the forum reprobates. First time shooting at that venue for me, will definitely be heading back again for the next one.
