While hunting you may be presented with the opportunity to fire more than 1 shot to get the animal (or animals) you are after. This may or may not be the case on the day.
Animals don't hang around all day waiting for you to get your shit sorted. Expect that we will not give you all day to get your shit sorted.
Very often while hunting you may not be able to take a shot lying down using your bipod. This may or may not be the case on the day.
It is going to be a fun shoot. As i said before we will set the course to try and make sure everyone is hitting while trying to make sure we challenge the more experienced shooters as well.
your a hard bugger Gillie:thumbsup:..........................one question im sure you have already had but have not mentioned yet................is that camo net coming up????:DQuote:

Sometimes when your hunting you need to deal with frustration... frustration may come in the form of vegetation getting in your way. You may or may not have to deal with frustration at this shoot - that is up to you and how you decide to deal with what we ask you to do on the day.Quote:

I think it is Gillie who is rarking US up! Sounds like we better put some secret weapons in the backpack. Machete, telescoping ladder, chainsaw, trench spade, no-doze, steroid, fantasy pills, bribery money, aspirins!!!!--- Mebbe a horse--porters? Sunglasses, barrier cream, support crew---
Nah. Rifle, ammo and a drink'l do.
Looks like another great day coming up.
Yup definitely going to be a good day will be picking up a bi pod (found one at hamills on special for $50) if I have no work again on thursday
Bi pod shit surely it's all off hand?:wtfsmilie:
There is nothing saying you can't use a bipod for those shots out past 200, I for one can not hold a steady aim past 150 meters (how do you think I shot the hook off mucko's gong :P)
Must be a BIG gong!
You will find yourself better off using a stick to support your rifle on a field shoot rather than a bipod. You will not have the luxury or opportunity to always be able to take a prone shot...and seldom have the time to settle yourself for the prone/bipod/perfect shot. A stick will help get one's arse around the course whereas a bipod is just another added weight to the rifle and as you say you are having trouble holding steady I can assure you that the bipod on your rifle will make it even worse due to the weight and putting rifle out of balance.Quote:

I will take it with me but won't be putting it on the rifle unless I absolutely have to will try making the shots using the sling on my rifle to try and see if that will stabilise my aim or as spook said I could take my tramping stick which is an adjustable aluminium one and rest off the handle of that if I had to. My shooting technique is probably up the shit so hopefully I can pick up on some pointers while doing the field shoot and if it is up the shit then I can sort it out.Quote:

I am not sure that Happy will be happy with you impersonating him Maca.Quote:

Woo hoo .. I sense a challenge looming ... Bring your wallet next farm trip @Maca49 with some paper stuff in it... Cant at the moment the range is two feet under water ...Quote:

I got my walking sticks and my leg braces--- hell, I'm nearly a transformer. Got a bipod as well--- attached to my hips.
It's got adjustable hinges as well-- trouble is they're stuffed.
Eyes are a bit dim, my belt has gotten too short; but heck, my rifle is A 1. (And it has never had a bipod attached)
I'm still good at eating bbq sausages though!
Started off long while back with vee sights, then apetures, then 2 1/2 power Bushnell, then 4 power Leupold, now I need vari power to see almost as well as I used to a few decades ago with no scope. Grateful for flouro targets these days and looking forward to seeing some keen men out there who can really shoot with the basic gear:) I always enjoy learning from others.
Gotta go load some up.
And we will shoot in the dark!Quote:

If any of you Tauranga, BOP people are going and want to car pool (read socialise ) Let me know via vegas
GA thanks Woody an I are leaving from Kinloch Sunday morning. I'm going to Taupo Friday night, we will go thru Bennydale, have seats for two more if it worked for you?
I hear the sausages are already arranged over there, so I'll bring some hops.
Having more than one rifle is as bad as having more than one woman,--just brings on confusion and grief, and more expense. We never learn! Soooo, I guess I will have to visit the range sometime before Sunday to try to sort myself out.
It's a tough life there Woody :D
Yep and you have to live it on the edge Maca. I am a bit worried by the comparison Woody made between firearms and women. By my reckoning I am several rifles short of my quota.Quote:
