I will travel to the NI to chase Sika, Rusa or Sambar but not to participate in a pissing contest thanks.

I dont believe the contestants have a view they are in a pissing contests as dont the Crusaders when they come north .We enjoy the compitition and obviously make an investment of our time into the sport because we enjoy it and do like to compare our skills or lack of with others , also to learn and be taught by those that have something to offer .The contest certainly offer growth in your shooting ability if you choose to look ,listen and learn .I suppose it would cut a few key board hero's down to size also having to put their balls on the block for all to see .

I am sure, pretty much everyone on this thread has put their balls on the block as you put it. Keyboard heros? Its all I know of you and you of me mate. Shooting steel is fun but to me hardley a competition.
F class, which we cannot do in the South Island? to me is a proper LR competition yet does not replicate all my needs in the field. I have however shot in enough competitions across the board to know I am only as good as my last so I dont get to hung up on them. Ill just stick to whats avaliable here in the south island, I think I will enjoy myself a little more. I am suddenly put off coming north except for the hunting.

Dont be put of coming north as there are plenty of friendly people just like me!
I have a saying R93-hero to zero -zero to hero .As you say your only as good as your last shot 'for that day'.
I shoot FClass ,in fact I just lost the top dog title this year in my club-hero to zero -maybe next year ill do better

Just been reading through all of this! I'm not into long range, being and old newbie to shooting I'm still working on the shorter stuff. I must say I do like the sound of the Southern/Western SI type of more informal, accessible, and typically grassroots approach. This has proven a fantastic approach in this countries relatively short history and has produced many results where we have excelled well above humble expectations. Hats off to you guys for doing this. Top work!
