Thread: BOP shooters / hunters

24th Feb I think. Been to a few now and a lot of fun. Bbq and b session at the end too. Good bunch of people. Getting my 30-06 ready

Not many sleeps left now

Should be interesting

Good to see the report......no redacting the report ah

Their range is open this Sat too so anyone is welcome to have a practice. $5 for the day

@johnd, having said I'd come along with the wife, am going on a hunting trip instead... maybe next time.

@Flyblown just drop in on your way home we can add your "catch" to the barby.

Ha ha you'll have a wait a while as I'll be gone for a few weeks...

@nickbop keen?

@Gibo do you want a lift up there?

Shit id forgotten about this. Better load some pills up. What time does it kick off @johnd ?

Weather forecast isn't that flash, still on if wet?

This Sunday is the 24th, Start time is 9.30 am but shooters need to be at the range around 8.30 to enter, collect their cards and have their rifles scrutineered.
Please note that the round count for the course of fire has changed to 32 rounds required.

The forecast at the moment is for a few showers, and if that is the case then we will live with it, Not a problem! That being said , most forecasts are as reliable as a two-bob watch, and should be not be taken seriously. Expect fine and sunny or sopping wet.
See you Sunday morning

Really looking forward to the deer target and what people think of it. I am sure it will open a few eyes as to when and if you should shoot at that distance.
If its a bit drizzly it may well add to the realism of it.
I'll be squaded for when theres no rain ... naturally

Well the day started overcast with a bit of light rain but soon cleared to be a good day , bit of wind to make things interesting. It was good to meet up with a few more forum members. A special thanks to Woody for helping me out on the range. if you are keen to join in come along to their events and don't worry about how you will shoot it is a fun day to try your rifles out and the guys and girls their are willing to help you out as much as they can. I managed to validate my drop chart out to the 600 yards and it seems to be pretty good, also it was interesting to see first hand how the wind effects the bullet. When I shot the two 600 yard events I first used 10.25 MOA for the drop adjustment and then on the second round at the same range I had to use 11 MOA. The wind was blowing up range and it obviously had an effect on the rise of the bullet. Then you had to contend with an ever changing side winds, sometimes strong other times not so. A great day finished off with BBQ and beer.
