Actually Di Collings has won the Ballinger Belt 3 times 1981,1987 and 2014 so she still is one up on Mike

Probably missed the 1981 win. Won in her maiden name?
So, bragging rights still with DI.

Yes Miss Di Blaymires

Read your posting wrong didn't I.

Took this photo yesterday. There are 3 Ballinger belt winners in it. And an under 21 NZ team member from 2019/20
A great day out with wind swings of 4 MOA left and right of center
We relegate the F/O guys to the far end! Aye Scott

Thought i would post a few photos of saturdays shoot at 300yrds the target on the left is the Deer Target we are going to use in our Bring it and Shoot it day on the 7 March
As you can see our range is not your typical range we have a lot of ridges and gullies that we shoot over which coupled with the wind we get makes for a interesting day at the range

Forgot to add that there will be no shooting on Saturday 6th February as most of the club are off to Gisborne to shoot in the Prize Shoot there
Cheers

The deer target is a red stag. Shot from 300 yards but scaled to represent the stag's size as if it were at 450yards. To count as kill shots the shooters will need to place bullets inside 2 moa. This is doable with all the equipment available to hunters today and use of packs or bipids for rifle support. Should be fun.

Was unable to edit my post and unable to post the second pic . Sorry about that. ( A very recent change to my ability to use this forum now I wonder why? !

A whole post three up is missing. ???
I wrote: the club shot all day at 300 yards today; so they decided to also test the deer targets for the upcoming Hunters Fun shoot scheduled for 7th March ALL WELCOME. The deer target will be contested at 300 yards. Two optional sighters and five counting shots for a possible max score of 50. ( The other ranges will be @500 & 600 yards on the day. ) Each shot impact will be instantly visible to the shooter and scorer on tablets supplied at the shooting mound.

A few more photos from yesterday at the range on the 300 yard mound with a few of the boys having a go with their hunting rifles at the deer target the last photo is looking back to the Club House at the 600 yard mound from the 300 yard mound

Couple photos from yesterday at the range, first time I've been over for a while. With now getting into reloading I was keen to get out & stretch the legs on my loads and see how they went...(had a slight hiccup which @17brno soon sorted out for me and all was good).
Beaut day for it with next to no wind at 300 & 500 yards and then a fairly stiff side wind picking up after lunch just in time for our shoot at 600.
