@Cowboy06, can you post some more info about classes, equipment restrictions etc

No restrictions but spirit of the course is hunting scenarios. We are not running it as a match. This is an experience for people to get out and enjoy shooting and for new guys to come along without the pressure of a match. We will have score cards for people to see how they went amd see where they might need to improve.

Check out Sparrowhawknz on Facebook for a few short videos from our latest matches.

Looked like some challenging conditions

If your wanting to come to this event RSVP in the events page for Hunter challenge. 31st January. www.sparrowhawk.co.nz

Bloody trg has decided to spit the 300gn Berger's out sideways, hope I can get it fixed/rebarreled in time for king of the ranch.

I would'nt be able to attend, but your on the right track. Its very important for the competitors to enjoy the shoot.

I've hosted 100s of shooting comps and the first point/tick on the agenda was: the guys have to enjoy it.

Ask for feedback - positive&negative.

Maybe next time.

Hi @Cowboy06 how often do you have something like this seems like an awesome event. I wouldn’t be able to make this one but if you have another one i would be keen as

As above December and Jan is pretty much always fully booked for me but would be interested in a less formal shoot than a comp.

As mentioned above Cam, it's not a comp. Maybe if it proves popular, they might run one later in year you can attend mate.

Yes that is why I would be interested.

I would be there this time but I’ve only got 7 rounds left and nobody seems to know when more projectiles are due in the country. It was 2 weeks ago 8 weeks ago and I’ve been waiting since august

We may try and have it open less formal on one of our monthly range days later. @Mr300WSM what projectiles are you after. You could always get some factory ammo.
