Thread: Rotorua Long Range - Queen's Birthday Weekend

I am running a long range steel competition shoot in Rotorua on the Sunday of Queen's Birthday weekend (2nd of June 2013). There is a spot or two open on the entry list. Entry into the shoot is strictly by invitation only. This post is not an open invitation.

Details:

• There is a $20 per competitor entry fee. Bring your own drinks and snacks; there will be a late lunch BBQ put on after the shoot.
• Targets will be set at distances between 350m and 950m (yes, meters). Most targets are between 450m and 700m.
• In general any rifle of any caliber up to .338 will be allowed. Please let me know the caliber you intend to use so I can approve it.
• You will need 40 rounds of ammunition per competitor plus a couple more.
• Turn up ready to go! There will be no sighters, if you get real lucky I’ll let you fire a couple of fouling shots into a bank.
• All competitors will be required to score and range officer for one other shooter. All competitors will be required to bring optics suitable for scoring and a time keeping device.
• Rifle sharing is fine between no more than two people.
• You will be required to walk the shoot course (about a 1km long) and carry all your gear with you.
• All of the shoot stages will be timed!

As you can see this is not a shoot for a beginning long range shooter. I had 10 shooters come along last year. Most of them were experienced long range shooters and 3 pulled out cause the targets were too difficult and / or they simply weren't prepared.

PM me if you are keen to compete and i'll pass on the shoot rules. If you manage to get an invite out of me i'll pass on the shoot location at that time.
