Thread: Te Kuiti Hunter Fied Shoot

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?

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 )

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.

definitely take the bipod if that's your style of hunting
Last field shoot I went two, from memory the only gun without a bipod was the guy that one it

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.

If I get a few shots in the general direct of the target Ill be happy, hitting them will involve miracles and I believe that guys not coming!

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

Geeze Rushy I can out shoot @Happy! He got a buggered shoulder so easy, give him some thing with a big recoil, that slows him down @30calterry can shoot! and they've got some nice gear as well

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 ...

Recoil sensitivity is all relevant to the reward... As challenger you can even go first he he ....

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.
