Thread: River city open - Wanganui

having not yet shot my first grading match and cannot see any in the South Island until later next year, I might venture north to Wanganui in February.

Is anyone else thinking of this match?

Yup. I am definitely going and pretty sure gimp wants to.

Yep, and the nationals, HB summer invitational, speed nats, wanganui classic and 3 gun nats. Busy shooting schedule the next 6 months.

Can't make it this time but highly recommend the RCO, was an awesome event this year.

River City Open is a hoot, on one stage there used to be an old Robinson helicopter that you had to start with both hands on the controls, then jump out and shoot. And a couple of decent long range options too. Range is on the road to the airport, quite a few shooters also stay at 151 on London motel - Wanganui Accommodation, Wanganui Hotels Serviced Apartments Wanganui .

2015 Comp had 19 Classic, 27 Open, 40 Production, 2 Revolver, 28 Standard shooters. Plus 1 x DQ.

Last years results to get an indication of stage time.

Yup, it's a well run comp, so is the Wanganui classic. The Hawkes bay invitational will probably be postponed till March

I'm keen but it depends on work... I think I have that weekend off.

When I looked at going to the Nats flying was a fuck around as we would need a day either side in order to attend.
We can have a look I spose.
KJ will drive down from HB to ferry us around.
