Cool, look forward to having a go with it
Bugger, A group of us are down that way around that weekend but planning a dive in Motunau on the Saturday, will see what the viz is like. If we can the dive we might push south early and try to make this

found a couple of vid to wet your appetite if all goes well this year I'm pretty sure I could rig up a zip line just to add to the fun next year
We've changed our plans to go for a dive the following week so 4 of us gonna come down from nelson and drive down from chch Saturday morning. Ill pm you stug
Not too long now. Harry has spoken to the farmer and there is no power in the woolshed so if some of you have camping lights and can bring them along that would help. Charge up the spotlight batteries too.
Finally hitting the hay in chch, 5am start to hit the road.
Looking forward to some shoulder bruising
Done and dusted for another year. Cheers to all the guys that came along, had a great time. I really enjoyed watching KiwiGreg shooting his 450 Rigby with 500gr loads, prone off a bipod. Poor shoulder. He was ringing the gongs at 215yds. HarryG got us on to some good wallabys on the Saturday night, about 20 wallabies and 30-40 hares was the final tally.
Thinking about ideas for the next one already.
Glad everyone had a good time it's intended to be a fun day and it was
Wind was a bastard but we all shoot well with some exceptional shooting from Mr& Mrs kiwigreg.
The spotlighting was just unreal wish I knew the shot per kill ratio ? not much got away
Thanks again to all those that came along for the day and special thanks to the farmers who allowed us to use there land and woolshed
Yes thanks heaps to Stug & Harry for a great weekend :cool:
Just got home now, 1750 kms for the long weekend :thumbsup:
Awesome to shoot the big guns without a sore shoulder or bloody nose :thumbsup:
Gave the AR a work out, can't wait until next year :)
Any of yous buggers remember to take a camera?

Pics!?
Sorry guys, haven't had internet at home now for 2 weeks, Farmside are useless when you have a fault, DO NOT go with Farmside. Hopefully a new modem will turn up today and I can get some video up, didn't take much this year though.
Finally got the video done, nothing fantastic. Luckily I was on the camera and didn't film my attempt, I missed all the balloons!

BASTARDS not you good buggers at the shoot but the bastards who couldn't organize my hip operation on time😠
Looks a bit windier than last year Stug
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 :thumbsup:
It Died off for your final 200+ long shot though! :thumbsup:Quote:

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!? :wtfsmilie:
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.Quote:

Would have to be mid-March if we went earlier (don't want to clash with the roar). Not sure what that would be like for the wallabies, might be a bit warm.
They are about anytime. Some nice long evenings for a wallaby shoot in march.
I'm sort of always busy that last weekend before duck shooting that's all.
Mid March is fine by me but, majority rules.
@Harryg mid-March work for you?
@stug Yes march sounds good for me .
Who else is in
