Dont forget the bottle of scotch.......

Yep, we must be "the guys from down south" that run shoots and give out advice on all aspects of long range shooting for "free"

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 myself would have very much enjoyed a day with Norway and a crew taking in his knowledge even if only a stripped down course .Did he cover wind reading in any depth -ie the finer points

Hey douche, there's a website designed specifically for you- getoveryourself.com: The Leading Personal Growth Site on the Net

South of the Bombay's we type english, and respect our fellow hobbyists. (unless it is not reciprocated) Come to think of it, when I lived in Auckland for years it was the same too, maybe it doesn't matter where you live which determines how much of a narcissist one is.

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 .

Its fairly obvious El Boraccho swaggered into the wrong LR saloon. This is not the Ok Corral of the internet. Lets all play nice. Shane does his thing, we do ours and the world is a better place for it.

Any more trouble, and this is going to be your avatar

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 ?

Bloody trolls!

Shutup chee troll did we give you permission to talk?

Not really wanting to get into a debate but $120-$200 seems cheap to attend an orginised competition. I used to spend more than that at nearly every zone, island, national sporting clay shoot I attend and there are several every year.
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..
