    Running Boar Shoots.

    Greetings All,
    I went up to Taupo yesterday to shoot Running Boar with Taupo NZDA. Did not shoot that well but thoroughly enjoyed it after a break of around 15 years. For those that have not shot it you shoot at 50m standing at a pig target that runs on rails across an opening of about 10m. We were shooting fast runs which means you have a little less than 3 seconds to mount the rifle and fire a shot. Never shot fast runs before. Slow runs give you 5 seconds. Our local Hastings NZDA had a running boar range until about 10 or so years ago when our old property was sold. The shooting is normally done with a .22 RF but the Taupo range is set up for centre fire as well. I would be interested to know how many others still shoot it.
    Regards Grandpamac.
