Thread: Long range shooting course

I would agree with all you have said Norway about others making money that sell product -the shops here do OK I wouldnt think to many are making alot out of the Long range crew as we import a lot .You must understand we target type shooters are not a big percentage in the shooting community overall -most are hunters - I doubt id be wrong in saying 98% are hunters not target minded shooters .
A contest like Gunslinger doesn't have a big effect on sales in reality -me mentioning Gunslinger has in no way an intent to push tickets only to push our wonderful sport .I have an enthusiasm to see my sport and passion grow hence why I will run my own events for the good of others and also give rave reviews about the Tekapo contest which is fantastic!!

I always referred to it as an 'oversize' bolt knob because calling things tactical invites other people to call them 'tacti-cool' and I really really hate that word for some reason. Also 'tactical' is quite meaningless.

And the fucked up bolt handle was like a year later.

Please let someone be able to find a pic of Gimps "Short throw" tactical bolt knob

I've got one but in my Internet is too slow.

Edit: See?

Suggestion:
Instead of slagging the G event, organize a competing event.

I'll help you organize the event (stages/planning/organizing).

You do all the legwork and see what $ fee you can pull it off at.

Im sure it can be challenging, interesting and educational. You have to make it safe, accessible, smooth and cheap.

Any takers?

your very generous Norway and this will be interesting. Are you suggesting an on going type event like Gunslinger.I'm sure those who think Gunslinger is a rip off will front up and find it a breeze

I don't think anyone is implying that shooting the Gunsllinger events wouldn't be a challenge.

Gimp shooting it is easy and fun , organizing it WOW that's one big job!! I have talked to Shane about it and it takes ages and a lot of effort and traveling

you going to pay the $2000 Tussock for the targets ? Helicopters ride up the hill is only if you want it and well worth while not having to walk the hill -not all are young fit buck rats!
I can run a small shoot also but not one on the scale of Tekapo , you need many hands and co-ordernation - half the shoots most have your lucky to get many members at let alone have them not shoot and act as range officers all day while others have fun .Remmber this aint a one position shoot but all over a mountain side and in the valley also
