I do
So he comes here to deer hunt and takes some time out to teach a few of you in the south the finer points ?I had heard via the wind of rumours you guys in the south comensated him to be here and teach but obviously I wrongly informed .
I dont mean to be rude but the way you show up on this site and throw around obsenities and rumours towards much respected members leaves much to be desired..Quote:

I personally got a lot of value from this, it was a basic, stripped down course, no electronic gadgets or flash harry gear. Bloody good day!

Perhaps we should be charging $200 for pleasure of doing it...... That way it would pay for some of my tacticool over the top gear:)
Oh, I forgot we are here to help people not profit from them.
I laughed when I read and I mean really laughed .Baldbob I had the vision you were living in the times of the flat earth and the question was posed "is the earth round" gasp horror wear a horse hair shirt and flog my back raw .hahaaa . It was just question and it was answeredQuote:

How funny . the egos of some are so so fragile -maybe your circles are a little small if you just want to talk with those that agree with you while you pat each other on the back .My vista is wide open and to be honest from what I have read on this particular post there are some that personify the ol kiwi "tall poppy cutter syndrome"
I am still laughing about this as I really dont know what he is talking about -hey Chris you seem intelligent maybe you could explain .

I really dont know what he means -maybe we speak different languages
Tussock , I fail to see why you would say I have swaggered into the wrong saloon -why because you guys are offended by Shanes proffetionally running a nation wide comp the he makes a dollar on and is reimbersed for his valuable time ? I dont get much more Tall poppy cutting syndrome than that ! Or is it my hair cut ?Quote:

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.
It costs fuck all to do it.... Wen ole stumpwildo gets the steel for nufn out the rubbish pile.... We have piles of steel over the show for when KG shows up and turns it cheesegrater.... Its just abit of time...... I would think to do a proper organised shoot permission from the forestry company may need to be sought... Other than that theres full potential for practical LR shooting in many forms..
Please be polite to other members:)Quote:

All I am saying is I am happy to help pay for those items and put in some time.
I think the coasts guys mixed with the rabble from down south could run a brilliant shoot. But trust me. As the shoots get more popular and they will, there may be a need to pay to shoot.
I am fine with that.
I work in Queensland EL and I would maybe like to attend a shoot one day. I am just not interested in payin $70 bucks for a .1 flight up a hill to do so. Depending on type of machine thats definitely a rip off.
That may be so R93 but I am going to pay it as I fear the 5km walk up hill could kill me -you know Takapuna is pretty flat and one doesnt have to walk far for the trim soy latte before a small sweat dampens ones forhead ;)
Do you know what type of machine it is?
I dont ,and to tell you the truth I hate flying so I hope it aint a bucket with a rubber band and Ice block stick prop-I could find out and post it later on .
I am just curious. TaQuote:

Youll always get a few going but how serious will they be taken by the shooters and the organisers.Lets see how you do !!!
As I said Tussock I am keen and if it works out, and if people dont have to pay all the better. I am keen to see your format and if it can be adopted between crews it should be a huge bit of fun.
The pilot of the machine you were talking about didnt seem to care much about what could have happened. I have done tons of rabbits for work but never in a 500. They must have been goofing around and not doing it for a crust eh?
I got the amateur bit right, just wish I was rich.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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
