BOP shooters / hunters

So the Te Puke rifle club "hunters class" shoot is coming up in about a month, any of you local guys keen to shoot it?

This year there is a bonus 10 points at each distance if you can hit the deer target. For those interested in trying long range shots with their favourite rifle this is a great chance to see just what your rifle is capable of.

If you have a new rifle or interested to validate your bullet drops at known distance this is the perfect place. It starts out at the 300 yd mark and once you are "on paper" there it is not difficult to elevate back at the 500 and 600 yd.

Be warned though, it can be addictive. I shot it last year and now I own a 308 target rifle :wtfsmilie:

Anyone wanna buy a Tikka :o

I might be keen depending on date John. The fishing has taken full control of my brain lately, I probably wont even know how to pull a trigger ;)

@johnd I'd love to participate. Please pm details and I'll be in touch. Thanks.

Would probably bring the wife as she is good at that kind of thing.

Hey I might even be home! Not in the BOP but I’ve a sister that lives there dose that count:redbullsmiley:

@Flyblown @Gibo rather than retype the info can you have a look in the events section for me thanks.
@Sideshow of course your sister can come along instead of you....... please send picture of rifle :D

Its on the 24th of Feb

Thanks @Gibo I am very technically challenged

Thanks @Gibo and @johnd, will talk to the wife and make a plan as per instructions.

Bugger won’t be back then...
But see that it’s open most weekends so might have to see if I can have a go. I’ll get in contact near the time cheers Gibo for the info:thumbsup:

I’m definitely keen to give it a go at some point, but realistically with all the health stuff going on it won’t be this round.

Bugger same weekend as Shot-Expo, going to have to weigh my options

Thats bad luck @Cigar, just for any others that are in less than best health, theres no walking involved, drive to the mound's. And you get to lay down while you're shooting!!

@Sideshow theres usually someone rocks up just for a look and to fire their rifle, no prejudices in this club, you want to shoot ....so do we, doesnt matter what it is. So long as it fits within the guidelines for the range use

With a welcoming club like that there's no wonder that housing is so expensive in Tauranga:thumbsup:

Well what do you know, I actually have that weekend off. Will come for a shot. Will have to dust the cobwebs off the long gun, hasn't been out of the safe for a while

I live close so I will come up for a looksee and shot.
