Jamie and Greg won with a whooping total so congrats to them.
Great weekend away and looking forward to the next one

Wind was the winner on the day... And 6mm Creedmoors (3 of top 4 rifles). We (Team Claw) got 2nd so pretty stoked with that.
Greg and Jamie shot awesome and showed that's there's a lot of merit in having identical set ups. We struggled with wind calls, a 110gr SMK at 3,080 is way better than a 143gr ELD-x at 2,700... But still did pretty good for a factory Tikka superlight dropped into a Boyds provarmint stock.
Highlight was a hit at 1,636m with 6mm.
Cheers to Sparrowhawk and the sponsors [emoji106]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ffef38ea7d.jpg

Thanks guys, yeah Jamie was on fire! I just rode on her coat tails.
The 6mms were amazing! They are just sweet to shoot. Super stable, they were not struggling with the wind anywhere near as much as most other's guns.
It was a fantastic shoot and was really well run, the stages were all fun, challenging definitely, but not frustrating.
If you are at all interested in shooting comps, I definitely recommend these types of matches, a great bunch of shooters, no chest beating stooges. Trust me you will learn heaps.
So what's your reasoning for running a 6mm cartridge when lots of other cartridges do have the same or less wind drift ?
Bloody great bunch of shooters!
Well done to the Southern Raiders! Mopped the floor with everyone else....
Highlight was the first round hit at the mile followed by two more hits for 3/5 and the wallaby that got wrecked at 1000m on Saturday evening...

Been interesting to watch,being just down the road.Good shooting guys.
Our rifles are built to compete in PRS, where you have to correct your own shots. so if you can't see where they go your buggered.Quote:

Less recoil with as good if not better ballistics than most, especially with the 110gr SMK. My rifle is set up heavy in a MDT ACC chassis with weights, can spot my own shots really easily and follow up shots really fast as I don't come off target at all.Quote:

Hi Claw,what model and specs was your scope for seeing targets so far?.Iv got a new 300wm to stretch the legs as far as I can see.
Cheers Trout
I'm using a Kahles K624i on my 6mm. It's slightly limited for elevation for really long shots but then I didn't build this rifle for that purpose anyway. I can dial to about 1550m and then have another 10 mils available in the reticle.Quote:

How often are these shoots on ? and do the locations vary , ie north island and south island ?
We run 2 of these type matches a year at Sparrowhawknz during the winter. Also the King of the Range ELR 1000-2000m at the start of Feb. We are doing a World record attempt weekend in December. Also a 22 comp in Mid November.
Our next big match like we just had will be beside lake Benmore in May and can take a lot of shooters full accomodated on site.
Alpine longrange is in November.
Vortex match in wanaka is sold out but I believe there may be some spots on the Sunday PRS match.
Don’t know what’s happening in the North Island. Get in touch with “the Bloke” on Facebook or internet for some info.
For info on Sparrowhawknz matches look on the website of follow on Facebook.
@Trout you don’t need real high magnification. Were probably only using the scope up to 18x
The range is open 14 th September.
Then closed for October and November.
Open again for the world record attempt in 14th 15th December
@Cowboy06 , cheers for info
Hi Cowboy06. My scope goes up to 16x,can dial up to 58 moa+15 in the retical which take me to about 1500yds.16x not real up to that distance,maybe 1200yds depending on target size.Iv got a new xbolt 300 win mag hells canyon long range 26 in barrel sitting in the cabinet.Got a suppresser fitted.Just waiting for a 20 moa rail.Then get some $$$$$ for a long distance scope.Got 2 weddings this summer $$$$$ so scope might have to wait.:thumbsup:
300blk got 3 hits at a mile I think with a 16x atacr. Image quality is probably more important than magnification and reliable dialing turrets.
I quite often see a few people put off by one stage that is out of their capability of range when the majority don’t get hits on it anyway and it is usually only 5 rounds out of 60. Same with a baracade that is 90 or 45 degrees. It’s only 2-5 rounds and is supposed to be a challenge to work it out as it’s not something you would usually have a go at.
I have no problem hitting the large steel plate at our range at 800yds on a good day(no wind).Use to have a burris eliminator,which had to be zeroed at 750yds.So the ammo shops did well out of me,lols.For every deer I shot last summer,i put a bit of ammo down the range.All good fun.
