Thread: Big Bore Shoot Kurow 29-30 April 2017

Yep, pretty windy. We moved slightly further up the valley to try and get out of the wind a bit. It certainly blew my projectiles off course

It Died off for your final 200+ long shot though!

Did you crack the 250yrd open sight hit again stug? well done.

Think I was a bit high with be .404

Thanks heaps to Stug and Harry and all of the other guys. Was a great couple of days and a fun night of spotlighting. Crack up to find out @stug is my old high school science teacher, even funnier considering he used to take groups to the local smallbore shooting club, where I caught the shooting bug.
The .444 didn't disappoint despite it being it's first time out of the safe and having thrown a cheap Eotech clone on top (due to lack of alternative) and losing verticle zero somewhere between sighting it and shooting on the day. Still managed to get it on the 215m steel with some help from the Artillery spotter. Just need to upload some of the videos i took

Just got back from the 10 day hunting trip, total of 2,500km starting at the shoot in Kurow, to Cromwell, Ettrick, Outtram and Taieri Gorge then back to Motunau for a dive on the way home to Nelson. Came home with 2 Fallow, 3 Reds, 6 Pigs and our limits of Paua, aside from the 40 odd Wallabies, 60 Hares, 3 cats and 100's of goats culled from a mates farm, so was a productive week.
Looking forward to tying the Big Bore shoot into next years hunting trip.

Glad you had a good time and a really good hunting trip we enjoyed your company for the weekend
when do you take your hunting breaks and we will see what we can organise for next year I think there might be a few more guy wanting in on the action next year
Keep in touch with Stu or myself and we will let you know what is happening

We normally head down either side of the end of april, start of may. But we don't plan it until about a week out so usually flexible and wil just work in with whatever dates you guys organise

Well, the 9.3x62 has landed! Haven't received it yet but will soon hopefully! I've had a bit going on and haven't replied to/updated ones (@Ryan_Songhurst)I should have but have got shite sorted out now! Keen to catch up again!

It's finally in my hands!


I think about 7 months to privately import.
Not so bad as I only 5 days ago i got a call from the NZ importers agent to inform me that my rear sight for the CZ527 had arrived.
That only took 361 days from the date ordered!?

Looks good! The wait was worth it.

I'm pleased with the wood

Very nice

Damn Nice !.

Really nice looking forward to seeing it at the next big bore shoot . @stug when do you think we should start a list of who wants to come along to the next shoot

If we go for the last weekend of April again then probably wait until early next year.
