Taruarau River on the Gentle Annie. It's a competition between Taihape and the former Hawkes Bay NZDA's. It used to also be with the Navy? IIRC.
I'd be sure visitors would be welcome but could not compete? I'd need confirmation on that.

Am a member of the Hastings NZDA, do you have to qualify for this shoot?

@Boar Freak

Nope

Hawkes Bay could do with all the help its can get at the moment.

Just turn up, listen to and obey the Range Officers commands and always point the pointy end of your rifle in a safe direction at all times.

Oh and it helps if you can hit the barn door broadside too, .......................... but it's not a prerequisite or even a requirement, although it will help.

Thanks Pete,

What are the shooting ranges (scoped/open sights)?

Scoped Centerfire Rifle, target is deer sized @100m, two sighters from prone position which the shooter can elect to keep once preliminary scored, Then 5 shots prone (or the balance of five if one or both sighters were elected to be kept), five shots sitting or kneeling and five shots standing.

All of the respective clubs members scores are totalled and averaged.

Highest Average Club Score wins the Trophy.

Shooters can also win accolades for the highest individual score.

Also Napier Branch will hold a practise shoot a weekend or two before the comp.

Cheers
Pete
