Yep that how i have the ones i run at the moment. I have approached a couple of other NZDA branches but didn't get much of a response... I agree would be great to have a few of these shoots round the place.

Yep, user pays. No refunds. At least then if they choose not to turn up the shoot isn't left out of pocket. Would take some organising but yep can be done. I have resisted doing this so far... maybe i should start.
BTW i should have mentioned the entry fee for the Ruahine Biathlon was way too low given the prizes on offer... i know the prizes were sponsored but still. My opinion anyway.

Jungle lanes are awesome, heaps of fun even with a bolt action. Great practice. You need a few people to help out on the day though and they can be quite tricky to set up. I have done a couple of short ones before and competed in a couple of much longer ones. You have pretty much hit my aim on the head though regarding target shooters and hunters.

Yes and no in regaurds to the prizes i found it to be a fine line.remembering the 40 rounds plus entry fee and its was a trial event- next time the price will go up for sure but the kinks will be ironed out aswell.And in all honesty i felt the enrty fee reflected the enviroment if you get what i mean?.

True it was a trial... i dunno you make a good point but entry fees must have come to about half the value in prizes?
