Mike at the club has put a lot of effort into the electronic targets and we think compared to a few other clubs ours ours are reliable and relatively trouble free .Bully is correct that the speeds from target to target can change i have shot at a few ranges with electronic targets and some you knew if you ended up on a particular target weird shit would happen especially at the longer ranges.
A lot of this comes down to poor set up ,human error or understanding the workings of the electronic targets

Absolutely true. If you scroll back to 17bruno's next post of the screenshots at 1000 yards, you can see that the MOA grid imposed on the target area is different for each of the targets. The reason being that the rh target is still set for 900 yards and not 1000, whereas the lh target is correctly set for 1000. Human error!

The good news is that it doesn't affect the score, as the same target face with the same scoring dimensions is used for 8,9, and 10 hundred yards. The software just overlays a different MOA grid. The same at 5 and 6 where the same target dimensions are used. If it should happen to be left on 300 when you're shooting at 600, then your shooting starts to look very shabby quite quickly.

Te Puke Rifle Club has had several requests from competitors who attended our Hunter Class shoots, to run another shoot during the season.

The club AGM was held Saturday, and after discussion we decided to give it a go.
The date for the first Hunter Class shoot for the season is the 4th November 2018. This competition is open to the general public and will follow the format of previous shoots.

You don't have to wait till November to try our range, as we will be open for business on Saturday 1st September, and every Saturday over the summer.

Just a reminder about our approaching Open shoot for Sporting/Hunter rifles which is open to all members of the public. This we run as a fundraiser and an introduction to targetshooting in an effort to make ourselves visible to the shooting community. We are fortunate to be sponsored by Whakatane Hunting and Fishing who have provided the bulk of the prize-table for this event with additional aid from Hamertons Lawyers and CollingsGuns, both also from Whakatane.

As requested, we will run two of these public shoots this season, and the date for the first shoot is rapidly approaching. It is the 4th November 2018. To help us in preparing for the event, we would appreciate those intending to attend, to book their spot by contacting our club Secretary. His name is Alan and the contact number is 021 251 2843.
