Looks like another awesome day Gillie. I really must get to one of your events as they look like a lot of fun, and mimic real life hunting/shooting conditions.

tthere will be another one and its gonna be harder and more open.ill be chnging venue for tthe next one.
tahr proved age is no barrier but you still have to be a good shooter under stress,gillie can taylor a gong shoot
to any situation the type of gong shoots we do here
match our hunting situation.alot of time and effort go into a gong shoot from gillie and it shows in how well the shoots run.
its like everything though unless you line up on the startline with all the other keen buggers.......your only a dreamer.

I get the impression you'll be after a shoot involving targets at longer distances... careful with that, you may find it much harder to get people to turn up on the day. I really like the Steel Safari style shoots in the states. Be awesome to be able to do them here in NZ. Long range seems to be a bit of a fad in the shooting / hunting community at the moment and it is getting a bit of publicity but i would expect 95% of hunters will not be keen to turn up to a long range shooting event.

Personally i would rather see more hunters practice their standing and kneeling shooting as well as focusing on effective use of support in the field (trees, scrub, daypacks, etc...). Thats just me though i suppose.

No longer between stages I'm talking about. Its a struggle no matter what ,and giving the shooter no info at each stage letting them make there own desision

I must be a dreamer then

I'll bring some proper biz
Least go up to 7mm rem mag

the anti-competition sentiment is weird. I'm super keen to shoot matches.

Our internet is on the blink so using my phone and itsit is hard work .anyway when people dontturn up hard work to replace them it just pissed me off.
so dont take offence and dont try starting any petty arguments

Truth be told, the "No full length magnum" rule has less to do with target damage and more to do with me simplifying my rules for the short range events.

Yeah, this sucks... and it is a sad reality of organising an event.
