    Are you talking about the "Vortex" NZ Mountain Challenge? If so, yes i did shoot. You need to have a partner to shoot as a team(2) and be able to spot and call shots to your partner, fitness is not a must but be fit is very important as the overall time will give you points that help in the overall score…
    I am booked again for the next year!

    Good luck!

    That's the one Mac. It looks pretty intimidating. They still have some spots I am hoping to talk to them this week to see about the details. Not sure if I can get a second at this stage trying to talk my brother into it. We only have Varmint rifles 223 etc. so not the most suitable but we would have a go with what we have. We have all summer to get good DOPE on our rifles. Do you need a lot of ancillary gear like high bipods for sitting shots etc. I see some photos online of guys using all sorts of rests and buddy support to shoot. Do you know what ranges before hand you are likely to have to shoot from a non prone position?

    Thanks Jeremy
