Bullshit. You should post it.

I have shot with Malcom and Simon Gillice once and found them extremely humble.They didnt say much but boy Malcom just let his 223 do the talking!
That was one of the shoots that Simon organised for Taihape deer stalkers.
Once we plyed them with some of the mighty Taihape truth serum did we draw some of their secrets out of them!
I must say it takes all sorts from large egos dickheads know alls smart bastards funny bastards lip draggers good c%unts you name it but at the end of the day i have enjoyed 99% of the people i have met competitively and learn a shit load as well.
I am lucky as i can go and shoot at work pinging magpies hares rabbits and the odd sqawking bird so it does not worry me just shooting 20 shots for the day at a small comp.
There are arguments for both sides but if you dont have a go you will never know.
I wanted to try marriage so did that the other day, I have never been divorced so at least i can try that now if the need arises!
See you at the next central north island gong shoot that me and plilipo are supposed to be organising!

-Have you read KIWIGREG's forum signature line?

Ps. Congratulations on getting hitched

Spent many a messy night at kcs and the cook and a couple of others,used to love docking in dunners. If a man with a wallet full of cash cant pull a root in dunners there is no hope

Post it up Gimp.

I'll do it up as a PDF and post it when I'm back home next, it's on my laptop and I've only got iPad here. Much of it is influenced by Norway's method

Hahaha good call

Something that Norway has done on film that I enjoy alot is foliage movement and different wind strengths -its great to be able to visulize these things and go to the field and watch and call wind

I certainly have and more than a touch of truth to it i suspect!
Philipo came and made sure ther was a forum presence at the subsequent piss up for my birthday slash wedding and got appropiatly rat faced
Next shoot we will book some decent weather as 23 mph at a thousand was a bit of a challenge!

I never had a printer. Writing it on a bit of paper worked. Now I've got fancy made-in-excel ones.

Do that and in accordance with the tall poppy syndrome we'll prepare to club you down as best we can

youd better not make it to good gimp or watch out

Tall poppy syndrome (TPS) is a pejorative term primarily used in New Zealand's south Island to describe a social phenomenon in which people of genuine merit are resented, attacked, cut down, or criticized because their talents or achievements elevate them above or distinguish them from their peers.

I know, there was a hint of humour. "Prepare to shrug it off and do your thing Gimp" was the message. It doesn't matter who you are or how nice you are, there will ALWAYS be a fair percentage that doesn't like you. The trick is not paying to much intention to them, but rather focus on the rest.

You don't picnic right next to the only dog turd in the park do you?

I doubt there will be a single negative comment ,and I for one look forward to reading gimps analysis

If you seriously describe yourself like the above, it is no wonder. Hilarious!
