Most consistent was taken out by a guy with a 375 DCM, unsure of his forum handle.

And what was the forum handle of the guy that took out the Toby 300?

Highlight of my weekend was meeting our own humble legend @Tahr and watching him in action.

Next year down south im in
Anyone got any good contacts in the wine industry possibly?

His name was Don (from Napier), not sure of his forum name?

Also thanks again to @TimeRider and @gadgetman for the flagon of watties. I took a few pics but can't upload yet. Mint weather.

It was a great event and I really enjoyed meeting people and trying my hand at shooting gongs. Wonderful hospitality too.
@Dundee, I saw 5 and let them be. Took a pic just on dark after I had arsed up and spooked 2 of them.

How did you know my wife said she wanted to come next year

Hey Greg how far out did "duno' get with the 50cal rounds he won at the auction?

Firstly, a huge thanks to everyone who worked behind the scenes to create another cracker weekend.

It’s a shame me and gadget had to leave early – but the ferry we booked home was the best choice time wise. Otherwise we would’ve got home in time to see my sisters leave for school, or arrived at our relatives place at 2 am

Last year I shot out to about 585 yards with the lefty 243, and this year got out to 485 metres with the new 7mm rem mag. Ran outta time to shoot further but I don’t mind – because earlier I got to fire ARs for the first time. Cheers @Happy and @Tommy
Fun to try out and shoot.

Weather played ball on Saturday this year, with blue skies, sunshine and a bit of wind









It was great to see some new faces as well as ones from last year. @Tahr, did you bring Tilly? Also brought Dundee another bottle of watties - because why not

@Philipo, the auction was great again – everyone was in stitches

“If you thought the hamper was good and missed out, you can impress the missus with …”

“If you missed out on the hamper, necklaces, wine etc. etc., you can buy this dog basket to sleep in”

Come prize giving time there were a bunch of hats to give away:
Now, how to get rid of these. Oh, I know! “TimeRider, come and get a hat!”

Weather was good throughout the crossing.










Thanks everyone!

@TimeRider it was nice to meet you and your Dad. Tilly was in the truck at the shoot. I will bring her next year again and I will introduce you to her.

He got to 1050 no drama then got all ambitious & wanted to shoot 1807 yards.

I mentioned it would be a struggle as it is "only" machine gun ammo & is trans sonic at 1600 in my rifle with its "short" 34" barrel.

He had fun & loved it as did his brother in law which is all that matters.

After all not everyone gets to shoot a 50 cal

Come to think of it I have seen your various 50s shot many times but I dont think I have pulled the trigger myself?
Might have to remedy that before fun is totaly illegal.

Big thanks for everyone involved in organizing and running the event. Had a great week end.

Some great pics popping up.

Duno winning the Ballsack 300


Some @Dorkus having a plug at the 300


The Range set up..... better pic would show the 1800 and 2k but you get the drift
