I would be keen on some decent fun/competition shoots in the south island, if just to meet other keen shooters and contacts but most seem lately to be run around my favorite times for hunting.
A gallery/reaction type shoot would be good. Rocking up to blast a heap of rounds down range is fun but I can do it at home to a 1000yrds. I enjoy the Greymouth shoots because of the lack of egos (apart from myself) and like minded blokes I have met. Contrary to what people think you dont have to have humped some of your relatives to be included. (if you have, you get to spot for BB)
There are ego's in every sport and it up to the individual how they to deal with them. Some people with egos can still be knowledgable cant they?
If I am able, I am happy to help with set up and working bees and would be interested in any shoot run/setup by this forum. I have been fortunate for a large part of the last 27 yrs to shoot all over the world in both military and civvie competitions in a number of classes and may be able to contribute to some challenging formats. LR under 1200 yrds being my favorite, anything beyond that is classed as harrasing fire anyway.
I do believe the Greymouth tribe can run a nice wee comp.

R93 are you based in NZ or in Queeensland .The gunslinnger shoots are not just a one off good ol boys beer and barbie but an on going set of comps that move around the country -alot of personal time and effort by Mr Cossar as I am sure you can appreciate .Yes I agree with you that the cost of the shoot for the effort the individual makes is small recompence for a good days competing and also it is none of "my buissnes" what he make on these shoots as long as I am happy paying the entry fee which is mininal and in line or cheaper with many other organized competitive sports .I hope you would also like to attend some of the comps as the more the better and a great crew to meet with lotsa nice toys
