    Thanks James,

    So getting back to an earlier post, F class has flags so that is very handy, shooting at animals in the feild is generally flag-less so you need to try & read the vegetation, stuff in the air, animals fur/hair, etc it also has angles, so what you are trying to read can be a long way from the ground, quite a lot removed from F-class target shooting really...... not saving it wouldn't be helpful though
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

    HaHA Dont sweat it Norway it will come good its just some of the boys like to have a chop and don't even know it LOL.
    The thread originally was abouta long range shooting course -of course ! I think they are worth doing but it needs to be proven worth while .Is it worth going ? well that depends what you want from that course -I would pay for a shooting course based in different terrain with an expert wind caller .As many can see this is the most interesting thing to me to make first shot hits at distance -why first shot hits -because it means I am doing something right !

    ... literary, the cleaning staff haven't done the toilets at work yet.

    ... Since I'm at 67 North and you are somewhere south, does that mean I by default piss higher than you ???

    To believe does not make it true.

    What on earth are you really asking about?

    your opinion on shooting courses .There are many types and do they offer enough to spend big dollars ?I am told you take or teach courses in Norway so you would have an educated opinion on them,I have never attended one mind you we dont have any here as such

    My unfiltered opinion:

    They are offered by motormouth for military wankers.

    Enlist, get the proper training and go kill people for real in a government sanctioned way and in defence of your comrades.

    Otherwise, join the local club and get the technical proficiency required for all shooting.

    Fair answer .I have been dazzled in the past by all there is learn as a non military person by ex soldiers who teach courses - often their credentialed are displayed to say they can teach you more than you can learn yourself at a club or by a knowledgeable peer who shoots .
    I am confident with much of my shooting to help others but also not arrogant enough not to listen to good advice .The only thing that is a constant battle is wind calls for first round hits and that is just something I enjoy doing

    So you only like to listen to people with a track record of winning shooting competitions.
    Shooting competitions in the mountains are pretty rare unless you count the "bet you cant hit that rock over there" "bet I can" type and these dont usually end with a prize giving unless you count a impromptu hand full of dry wild animal shit being thrown at someone.

    So you want a proven competition winner who is an expert mountain wind caller(if there is such a thing) to hold a course for preferably nothing in little ol NZ.........................Choosy much?

    Best way to learn about wind in the mountains is spend some time up them..... Hunting would be as good a excuse as any.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    Problem with Auckland Vietnamcam is we don't have those beautiful big shingle slope mountains .with a miss you can easily see the strike and make changes .I gotta say im at some months off 50 I am not even slightly as fit as I once was and having one knee and a wobbly joint to much time in the mountains would eventually mean a full knee reconstruction other wise I would come hunting down your way -I am not a hunter but would .
    Taking advice from winners is usually a good idea -now winner may just mean someone that I know that shoots well -you see everybody has an opinion and I have mates that eyes just bounce together as they splurge crap but they still think they're correct - you cant take advice from everyone! I shoot shitloads to -so much I'm broke at the moment but not in all the conditions and terrain I would like but that just means more traveling --remember boys if your ever in Auckland I am more than glad to take you plinking , hospitality means a lot to me
