    Go to the Parliament buildings. I have heard that MP's have nothing between their ears so there should be enough members there on a good day to line them up ear to ear and have at least 200 metres of tunnel to shoot in.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I wouldn't be nervous dude, should be a pretty relaxed environment with lots of knowledgeableguy's around to help and give you pointers.

    Brads setup is pretty good so as long as your ballistics are setup pretty close you will be able to fine tune it and be banging gongs all over the show no sweat.

    Just take lots of ammo

    Keen bloke Trentham has a long range. You could try contacting Petone Rifle Club or another and see if they have startd their season yet. Some target shooting clubs are happy to have serious blokes (potential F class recruits) do a bit of range testing. Google and facebook will be your freinds.

    Cheers @Bagheera, i managed to get in when they did their open day and had a great time but have since made some changes to the rifle. I'll probably just try and fine tune it as best as possible at the ranges i can access and then just go with nibblets idea of using the knowledge on the day. I'm there to fun at the end of the day

    I think some of my guns won't even be zeroed , and won't know the trajectory to 1000 yards for most of them. Lucky I ll bring a good spotting scope with me. Who wants to be my spotter bitch? :-)

    I am in the same boat with the trajectory as I have no idea what speed the .338 will be doing. I'll spot for you if we are on the line at the same time Friwi.

    If i remember in time one target will be marked in inches vertically at 400yrds

    Then you can adjust your velocity in your ballistic calculator to match your actual inches of drop
    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time
