Thread: South Island Big Bore shoot 13/14 Feb 2016

To keep in the theme
Is there to be a minimum plains game caliber, or perhaps an age limit, eg
No calibre that was new in the last 50/60 ? years
say nothing under 6.5
just thinking aloud.

If you would take it to Africa bring it along.

We've had a few small shoots in the North island over the last few years and have found that big/lifesize targets make the event a lot of fun.

Charging Lion

Some of the guns

458WM Heym


470NE Merkel double


Sakos & Steyrs

@Hendrik470 any idea of where to get the targets from?

Hi @stug
We had them printed by the local print shop, we used high res photos of lion & buff and did some basic editing to add the target areas.
color prints are more expensive, but look much better.

You can also try to get some Norma Bigbore targets, they are about 30% to scale and work well when shot at 50yards

Who said there no wallabies on the south side mates dogs put them up on the hill behind Kurow

Shush....

Harry and I caught up with the farmer today. Found a great place to have the shoot. We are allowed to stay in the woolshed. All go for the wallaby shoot too.
I will have a couple of spare seats in the vehicle if anyone needs a ride.

Cool. looking forward to the weekend.

Anybody from out of town wanting to go. I have a spare bed here for the Friday night then go up Sat morning. Sea permitting could go for a feed of Blue Cod early morning

I will only bring one for various reasons. So help me choose From the top 458 Win Mag CZ 550, 375H&H Brno 602, 9.3x64 Brenneke Frankonia Mod 98, 9.3x62 Husqvarna Mod 640.
