I'm sure there's been heaps of offers to sort out some hunting etc to tack on to the shoot (I can't be bothered wading through the 9 pages of educated discussion in this thread). I maybe in a position to take a few for a quick tahr trip on the Sunday/Mon, can't promise too much though as I'll not long be back from oversea's and my work wife won't be in a mood for letting me away from the office for too long...
9-11 October.... Will be coming up from Invercargill if anyone wants a lift up? May try and squeeze a hunt in before or after
October? I thought it was in November?Quote:

Having so many North Islanders in the South Island IS a significant penalty!Quote:

I have suggested to the committee that a barn door be placed to one side of the range. While it has been accepted in principle the debate is currently about whether it should be set at 25 or 30 yards.Quote:

Hi claw what powder you using I'm getting similar average 17mm (some all touching but I'm an average.shot) my load is 42 grains adi ar 2209 143 grain 143 eld x Not sure of velocity as chrony refused to work
I'm using Norma URP. Over the 2 groups at this load (the lower group above is a different load) the velocity ES was 17 fps and SD was 7 fps, so I'm pretty happy with that as well.Quote:

i might be keen to attend..... however i think i will need to buy something suitably shooty.(and assume that i can get the time off).
what caliber is recommended.... best i can do at the mo is 12g with slugs or an untried .223 (ar15).
suggestions?
:D
cheers Vod

A chance to get together or meet up for the first time.
Your 223 won’t be the only one there.
See you there ;)
Absolutely! But hitting targets is good too, so they tell me.Quote:

Not really worried about the shooting part (is it mandatory?), more so the catch up with some good buggers I've got to know over a puter screen
If one of my projects was ready, that might pop out for a look/shot, mind you it may look better in photos than in person so to speak so maybe not lol.
What's the go with camping costs etc? I spose that's further up the ladder somewhere? Entry fee needed if you don't shoot?
As of tonight flights are booked.
