    Sorry I won't be able to make it to the Ruahine event, Necshot and Gillie.

    PM sent Mucko.

    @Philipo @kiwijames @Shootm @Ginga @mucko @craigc @Tahr @kirabilli Just a heads up to pm me any questions in relation to getting to the property ,be there for Gillies safety briefing at 0930.........if you miss it he will not let you Shoot the comp he is chief Range officer and hes the head MF in charge , Windwoods farm Top grass Rd Maharahara is the address you can get my Cell via PM if needed or Gillie.You shoot this comp the same way you hunt for example Day bag hunting boots water snaks if you hunt with a bi pod sweet if you carry around a front and rear shooting rest good remember you have to carry it around the whole course all day.Any more questions on this are to be fired at @Gillie .This is a spectator sport aswell so people are welcome to come and have a look but common sense please no dogs and no kids you cant control!!! and stay on the race and keep out of the way of the runners.BBQ and refreshments are supplied after the shoot for competitors and Marshals Its $25 to shoot and you will need 40 rounds, if you havnt zeroed your banger tough shit! not my problem bro.in a week I will have a few more spots available possibly if ive missed anything Gillie will alert me of it.

    Sounds good Jasen,
    Malcolm and I were talking about the set up for this event tonight. We'll try and make sure we bring some extra gear to keep the event... "entertaining" for competitors. Going to be a lot of fun

    Really looking forward to this. Looks like I better get reloading then. Would .223 be ok?

    Its a windy wee spot. Last year the wind blew the milk out of my tea.
    Your 308 might be better.

    The rest of you need to take little guns to give me a chance
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Last year in the wind the event was won with a .223... Person using it though knows his stuff when it comes to shooting.

    I'm sure even a blaser is capable of a wind hit at those ranges
