Thread: NI Big Bore : any interest ?

Guys, looking at putting together a NI version of the Big Bore Shoot.

Rough guidelines to give you an idea:

Probably 20 rounds max, bring a box of ammo and you can do the course of fire

Would prefer .375 and up, not sure how many takers that would have ?

Mostly off-hand and sitting/kneeling type shooting. Majority of shots under 75m, max 150m ?

Please tag guys who you know are into big boomers, so we can gauge interest and get some feedback.

Ta, ebf

Don't forget the euros with their 9.3. Is that close enough?

Dam good idea. Its a shame i have no big bore in the safe.

Haven't quite got one(yet) but I'm keen

Great idea.

Interesting idea but dont be so sizest, what about the 9.3 crowd or the 7x57 thats an elephant calibre

Haha, bloody medium caliber crowd

Yeah ok, I guess 9.3 is beefy enough.

7 x 57 !!! would you like us to serve lattes on the day ?

So after speaking to stug, it looks like we should make it closer distances.

Max 100, most shots under 50.

1 stage with shooting sticks
max 4 shots per string
baloons

20 rounds max per rifle ? ...shoulder permitting

A thick swinging plate would be a good idea

Well, you have 2 shoulders...

Are you still bruised from the last SI shoot ?

Nope the last Goat I shot with the 450 Rigby,......quite loud..... should have had ear pro....massive flame apparently....

Keen. Would just need to get my 458 up from Christchurch.

Well if you let the 9.3 in then you would have to let me turn up with my little 358 lever..
There's a few of us around with 358win (3000 ftlb), 358whelen (3600 ftld), 358 norma (>4500 ftlb)

Where would it be held
