About Larrygoat
Biography:
Hi I'm Lars, I'm an Aries and enjoy long walks in the Bush....

Shooting and reloading since I was 16, subsistence hunted throughout my apprenticeship, mainly goats/turkey/hare. Game bird season has always been a highlight, though I only ever shoot 6 or 8.

Formerly a firearms safety officer with the MSC, made redundant along with 450 other volunteers, I'm not salty at all.

More than happy to help out any members with handling/operating/safety/reloading/sighting. I can also show anyone how to skin/pluck/gut/fillet and do basic butchery on anything you can get your hands on. The more people out there doing it safely, the better.

And if you have a 1000m range let me know.
Location:
Northland Waipu
Interests:
Hunting, shooting, 4x4ing, fishing, getting out on the bike
Occupation:
Carpenter, self employed.

    Larrygoat liked post by Bagheera On thread : Missed a shot 150 m shooting straight down a hill . Need opinions.
    Try a few scenarios on a ballistic calculator. For the 7mm08 30 degrees at 200m give 0.2 mRad (2/3 moa) difference. At 300m its 0.3 mRad (1 moa). At 500 m its 0.7 mRad (2 moa). So, I would...

    All of the above would be my guess. People being time poor, clubs seem to be declining in general, more instant gratification-based society, perception that more "gear" is needed, difficulty settings...

    Nice report, good to hear about people's experiences. I recently competed in. A shoot, part of which was other NZDA 200 yard target, I'd forgotten how demanding it is in the unsupported positions.

    This is my thought on the matter as well. Happened with something I sold. The buyer made a couple hundy while also being a bit "optimistic" on Trademe as to the condition of the item. I can't...
