I would also like to mention again the great sponsorship we had, I dont think anyone walked away with less than their entry fee in prizes.
The food was pretty good too! That old trick of rolling it in grass was priceless!

Oh you guys are so narrow mimded, he merely wants sponsorship to New Zealand so he can shoot in his chosen sport, please send $10,000 to his Nigerian bank account, to allow him to rest in an hotel here while he waits for his clearance. He will also need a rifle and ammo plus a wife so he can love her dearly and remain here indefinitely while he arranges to bring in his extended family.

Should really screw the looky-throughy thing on top the rifle then
For novice would be shooters the club has various types of rifles and ammunition available for use, under supervision of course. User pays for ammo fired.
Yeah bro, we need to get out there more, it’s a very cool range.Quote:

Scott McClay has won the F Open class over same ranges. What a great showing by this awesome little club. Congrats to the men and women members who contested this world renowned shooting competition.
Here is a link to NZ NRA and the history of The Ballinger Belt. Take a look down the list of past winners; it makes interesting reading. This is a meaningful part of our NZ heritage.
(Hopefully the woke whingers will not complain to the mods about this wee bit of patriotism)
Well done Mike Collings back to back Ballinger Belt winner! Mike has now caught up with his wife Diane Collings in winning the Ballinger Belt 3 times as well
Great shooting Mike
Well he easily won the qualifying. Sorry Scotty, couldn't help myself..Quote:

Assuming you mean "TR" coaches, couldn't agree more but your wind reading skills are still very important no matter what class you shoot in. BC will only save you so far.. :)
TR and F classes. Always something to learn.

Te Puke fullbore rifle club resarts it's yearly shooting program Sat Sept 3 at their Maniatutu range. 300m practice to start. Turn up around 10.30am.
Maybe a little later for shooting. AGM meeting at 10.30
We're doing the same thing but in reverse order :)
Forecast not looking particularly flash though.
We had a great turn out.... especially for an AGM when everyone usually runs for cover.
Hunter class this season is going to be very interesting, a lot of the folk shooting this class have gotten seriously dialled in. Same in FTR classic with a good number being built up and also dusted off.
For those that dont know, hunter class is your off the shelf scoped rifle in most any caliber within the power limits. FTR classic is .308 or .223 shot with a scope over a bipod without the need to use aperture sights (TR)
Even with the AGM running on a bit we managed a good number of details at 300 yds, my shoulder is telling me I shot in 4 details looking forward to using basically a hunting rifle in FTR this season. ( Dirty old 700 Rem but in a chassis)
Anyone wanting to shoot out to 600 yds on electronic targets have a look at our FB page for details or you can PM me here.
