1000 meters, 3Gun, Silhouette and sport clay is the CSSC's main goal - Hell yes I'm keen!
Already done, buy I'll reshare on my farcebook to give the slowpokes a hurry up
I reckon there is an absolute opportunity going begging for something similar in Auckland.
Where abouts in Canterbury are we talking here? Canterbury is a big province.

I would have thought they would be really lucky to get it in West Melton, unless they are somehow getting it on defence land. Getting all the lifestyle block owners to agree to it and also fitting the template they use for misses/overshots would be next to impossible.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, plus it's close to all the Waimak river users, might be better out of town a bit.Quote:

was present a couple of times when irate van loads of fijian nassella tussock grubbers had some incentives to duck&dive as 7.62x51 rounds hurtled over the rifle range butts and sailed about ears courtesy of incorrectly set GPMG sights or SLRs ights.(one a mate of mine who attempted to shoot a 100m series with sights set for 600m on his so called very accurate SLR- cost him a few beers that
The SLR was a great rifle Kotuku. As a young soldier I could do the inch wide by two inches deep grouping standing unsupported bloody near with my eyes closed with the SLR. I couldn't shoot for shit though with the Armalite M16.Quote:

Was a crusty old maori sgt who put me right -throw ya shoulder forward lad like shooting a shotgun- voila no more problems,even tho the brass still whizzed past bloody close!
If i ever could manage it an tidy SLR would be welcome in my collection.
Aoraki ammo is working on a import of very tidy L1A1's right now, about $1400-not NZ issue but tidy NZ ones are getting hard to find.Quote:
