Thread: Ruahine NZDA Hunters Biathlon 2015

Well, I'd like to thank Vince too - a wonderful host for strangers and old mates alike. He rang around the evening before to find an extra range marshal volunteer so Jasen could take part and Gillie leant him his special gun to shoot it with. Also thanks to the marshalls (again including Vince) and specially whoever stepped up at the last minute.

Yes he's got that sub calibre weapon well in hand now. That's what you get when you go steady for a couple of months.

I also saw what's got to be a "til death do us part" top notch weapon there, a .308 sako with 40 yo kahles so battered it was mostly silver but still going strong. Owner was the same.

Sorry I was unable to enter but perhaps 2016-. Good that Bagheera and Philipo were there to hold up the forum flag though. Look forward to a video Gillie.
Cheers,

Sorry Woody no video this time - too busy doing other things. The photos will have to suffice.

Good pics Simon

Here's a pic of me and the new lunch box I took home as a prize, plenty of space for Carrots, Fejoias, muesli bars & refreshments CHUR

Did you manage to hit any steel?
FYI, it makes a ringing noise.

Couple of times, I thought the ringing was to say smoko was ready lol

hahaha, looks like you guys had fun.
@Philipo, you're a bit of a worry, especially with those obscene carrots...
@HNTMAD, you look shagged, sure you did not run ?

Yup did more running than I should and am.firstly admit body's still sore today......although I had a good fall when I went forbade hunt after lol. @Gillie does have another pic of me looking slimmer maybe it didnt make it through editing lol hopefully none show me sweating like a pig

yup, running with a rifle.... screw that.... did it 25 years ago and then I had a corporal to "motivate" me

@HNTMAD I can run that picture through processing and post it if you like. You do look somewhat slimmer but your facial expression looks like you were either desperately trying to take a dump or desperately trying not to...
