Rotorua Long Range Field Shoot 2014
The Rotorua Long Range Field Shoot (Woodstock 1000) is a field target shooting competition held on a farm just outside of Rotorua. This event is an individual shooting competition involving targets placed at distances between 100m and 1000m. Most targets will be between 450m and 700m.
The event requires the competitors to move from stage to stage along a set course, shooting at different targets at each stage. Every stage is uniquely set up to provide a variety of challenges over the course.
The competition will be held on Sunday the 25th of May 2014. There will be no weather cancellation. There is a $30 entry fee.
- In general any rifle of any caliber between .243 and .338 will be allowed. If you are shooting a calibre with a projectile weight more than 300grs or a muzzle velocity more than 3200fps then best you talk with me before you turn up as your calibre may not be allowed depending on how I set the closer targets.
- Competitors will need 60 rounds of ammunition each (best bring a few extra though).
- There will be no sighting in shots allowed on the day. All shots are scored and all stages will be timed.
- All competitors will be required to score, time and supervise for one other shooter at each stage. All competitors will be required to bring optics suitable for scoring and a time keeping device.
- Spectators are fine (best to let me know beforehand) but may not assist any competitor throughout the day i.e. no shooter / spotter teams.
To be clear this is not an event for someone just wanting to try shooting at longer distances or someone who hasn’t already got their stuff sorted. If you want to come along though, get in touch and I may have an open spot available (there are limited entry spots available).
