    The Hangawera shoot had a centerfire event like this called the Jungle Lane.
    Targets of various sorts from 1 metre to 100m. Mostly gongs.
    Keep firing till you hit the target then move on to the next. .223 have to hit twice (double tap).
    Range officer accompanies shooters one by one.
    Targets spread out in scrub over about 500m course. (Range officer gets very fit)
    Score is by time. You run like stink. Makes the Ruahine hunters biathlon feel very lazy. More like goat hunting with dogs than golf.

    There were about 25 targets and I used 3 mags from the .303. Round counts for AR users were more like 80 - 100.
    I took 13 min but most others got round in under 10 min, some down to 6.

    Fantastic fun.


    Gillie has had the occasional stage where you shoot at a target till you hit it, moving on to progressively smaller or more difficult ones. This really hones your concentration and I think would enable shooters to perform at their peak abilities.

    Kim, if you go beyond 500m I think I'll need a mercy exit - maybe a max of 5 shots per target ! Or drink a compulsory double shot latte for 7mm08 users. Could get very messy if I start missing early ...
