Thread: River city open - Wanganui

No. New job causing me to miss it.
I was really looking forward to it but I fly out a week before the shoot.

Good luck to everyone going from the forum.
The calander looks pretty quiet after that shoot for a while as well, which is a bit of a shame.

The Double Tap and North Islands haven't been put on the calendar, I'm not sure when they intend to shoot them but if I had to guess the DT would be the first weekend of April.

Aarrggg!
It rips my undies that heaps of shooting sports I am interested in, schedule good shoots at that time of year.
I think even our club 3gun was going to be around that time until a few of us had a whinge.

It's sure a busy time of year in the shooting world, and not just shooting-so if your also into other things then you just can't do everything

You're right there mate. A lot of things seem to fall around the roar and opening weekend.
I still love getting in the hills with my son or good mates enough not to miss it for a comp shoot or the like.

For those going, good luck and might see you there. Ill be the one with a Shadow shooting C's, D's with a few misses and the odd No Shot for good measure.

I'm going down that way for a wedding next weekend. The flights were expensive on the days we wanted to fly down (this was 2 months ago), so just decided to go down a day early and fly back a day late to save $600 on tickets and make a long weekend of it. Just clicked why there was such a demand for flights on those days when a mate said he was competing. I'm going to come and watch for a few hours, see you all there

Yeah mate with this on the Drag racing and Firemans combat challenge its a busy weekend in Wangas. Think the fire service booked most of the seats, 70 odd flying in friday out sunday and about the same from palmy airport.

I'm on the 8am flight from Dorkland to Wanganui, and back on the 9am tuesday flight. Haven't been to the River City before, I'm quite looking forward to it!

So, after a number of rounds and a few stage re-shoots for some squads, it's over. As mentioned above, a number of C's and D's and far to many No Shoots, I finished middle of the order. A bit disappointed, but learnt heaps and hard a great time in the heat with so like minded folk.

Great stage layouts and some challenging targets too.
