Just use GoogleEarth and the ruler function @Harryg. I'm thinking from the flat paddock after the real steep uphill you shoot across the valley to the crop paddock we couldn't drive through is a long way and lots of other hills etc.

Just did a quick check, should be able to get close to or just over 2000 yds from the that spot.

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 to

Thanks @jakewire will be in touch

I'm in

I'm going to appoint myself as truancy officer this time round. You talk the talk then you walk the walk and show up, don't show up and I will be calling your mum.

"Yes hello Mrs Gibo?... Mrs Gibo, little Gibo hasn't shown up for the memorial shoot.... Yes Mrs Gibo, I completely understand that that's not the way you raised little Gibo......Yes I agree Mrs Gibo, smacked bottom at the very least, the shame of Little Gibo's friends forever knowing he's a shit talker should also be taken into account as punishment Mrs Gibo....

Of course, Gibo is a good bastard that shows up with bells on so that's just an example of my power, all you other buggers be warned

I'm keen and can help out, maybe a trip down the weekend before to set most stuff up etc with some Christchurch peps?

All I need are dates, leave pass and will start saving.

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

@BRADS and his wife did pretty much everything, they're amazing.

No chance of long range rabbits down there?
