For any BLENHEIMITES / MARLBURIANS
Is the fullbore rifle range at woodbourne still in operation.?
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
Has already been said but thanks to everyone for a great weekend, I didn't know anyone but everyone was very welcoming, thanks brads and Mel great venue and very well organised with some great feeds put on, shot the furthest I've ever shot and got to play with some others fun guns, now I've got to find a gunsmith to rechamber my gun to 7mmsaum haha
fuck my van is slow. that is gonna take a week to get there, not to mention the swim across the channel.
If i get my 40mm up and running by then ill try some long range shots from Punganui (auckland)
Use enough gun
@johnd Do you mean the range at Kaituna ? If so, yes. Shooting the Marborough Spring Champs there next weekend

@nickbop Send it to Scott Trail (SSRNZ) in the Wairarapa.
Things I either learn't or confirmed this weekend.
1 @BRADS is a legend
2 Mel, Brads wife, is also a legend
3 You don't need custom guns or wildcats to shoot long out to silly distances
4 You have just as much fun on the small close gongs
5 @Alonzo is a legend, 2k gong and a 315m magpie, transport and 12 hours of conversation.
6 Shit happens to the best of us
7 300yd is a long way for a standing shot
8 1850yds is possible with a 7mm08 @ebf
9 @BRADS is a legend
And thanks to @Dorkus for the education on rum and the stock market and generally living up to your forum handle, @Philipo for the entertaining auction, @Gibo for just being a good bugger, @gadgetman for being a courier for me @P38 for running the range and there is plenty of others out there.
The work and effort put in by Duncan and Mel shouldn't be overlooked or understated, they're a very honest and genuine couple who give a lot more than they get, neither this past weekend or the one a year ago would ever have happened if it wasn't for them. Cheers for a great weekend.
Fellas I think I have misplaced my rangefinder (again..) if anyone has one turn up in their gear
