Possibly they think it's boring?

I for one got hooked because I wanted to learn wind call and actuall bullet drop. So that I could shoot gongs, but once I realized you got to shoot every weekend, I soon decided it was a lot more bang for your buck.

Greetings @johnd,
Thanks for your reply. We had the same thing with self professed master hunters that seldom, if ever, showed up at NZDA shoots. Others that did show up did shoot well especially prone. Our last shoot for the season is at the end of the month so it will give me time to get a couple of my rifles sorted for next season. It will also give me a chance to work on my back and neck to see if I can manage to shoot prone again. Might need a high rest and some pillows though.
Regards Grandpamac.

Yes as always where theres a will theres a way! I am suprised I have no bites from my trawl yet. I did expect to have a few.

Greetings All,
The F Class shooting season is over until September so it is time to sort out some rifles and loads for Spring. The previously mentioned 7mm Rem SAUM Sendero and 7mm-08 will be used for 1,000 and 600 yards respectively and my long neglected .223 VSSF II will be dusted of for 300 yards. The latter has a 1 in 12 inch twist so the Hornady 60 grain V-MAX has been selected based on some previous test loads at 200 metres and some calculations on stability. All that remains is to sort out loads for each rifle and get them zeroed for next season.
Regards Grandpamac.

Greetings All,
The rifles for next season have been assembled. Some may note that there are five rather than the three mentioned earlier. The extra two are, from the left no 4 an Omark in .308 win and 5 a Martini in .30-40 Krag. Only two currently have loads ready so I had better get my skates on.
Regards Grandpamac.
