Good to see how much interest there is. And thanks for all your support
Would early November suit for the shoot. Any earlier and we could still be lambing down here
A few guys have PMed me with offers of help and I will gladly take you up on your offers
If anyone who has been at the shoot who would like to come and help scout out a suitable range would be a great help. and a few names for who done what in the last shoots would be a big help too
Thanks Stu I was hoping to get a bit closer to the wool shed but once we work out the distance of different locations. John will be happy for us to shoot across more than one gully if we need toQuote:

If I recall correctly, you were a bus driver in a former life. You could start in the far North and pick us all up on your way down.Quote:

We would need five minibuses. Breaker breaker this is the rubber duck, I think we have a convoy?Quote:

I'm at uni in chch so I'm definitely in. Anyway I can help, I'll be there. Also, we have the option to hire a spit at uni and she is well tidy. I'd happily foot the bill for the tiny shoot
I'm in his flat and we will all be there even if I have to get the whip outQuote:

6.5x55 should handle that.
From what I keep reading Dundees 22lr should get there.Quote:

2k is plenty, Most people bring hunting rifles & are happy shooting a mixture of sizes & types from 200-800, then a few different sizes out to 1500. But to be honest most peoples rigs aren't capable of going mush past that consistently, even a 338 will normal start to max out around 1500-1600 ( even though Alonzo proved that wrong this year ) So while 2k plus is cool to have, there's only a small handful of guys that will join that "dick waving" contest.
