Excellent video, though I note that he doesn't mention protecting the bore :P

The March Gazette lists Ruahine Sept 7 as the only N Island Auction left on the schedule. Best bet is to keep an eye on your club newsletter since I think there might be one or two in the works but...

Great! Thank you for posting that :)

Welcome - you'll have a great time. There are lots of subtle difference between hunting in Canada and NZ that can trip you up, but it's great.

Also, do yourself a favor and start doing some...

To return to the original topic - I appreciate grandpamac 's mention of contacting NRA Ranges for access to longer range shooting opportunities. It's an excellent reminder and sometimes an invitation...

I got confirmation on this from the wapiti foundation earlier this year when someone's spouse was considering coming but not hunting:

"You can take non hunters with you if you get a block, they do...

Mate had mold issues with his - had to occasionally take it off his ute and set it up in his garage with fans to wash out then dry.
Seem like ok solutions for people who get out a ton, live in dry...

I had wanted to bring some stuff back with me while I was traveling, but had to leave it. It's still there :/

That seems to be what's happening - party leaders aren't getting them, but other members of the group might. Still good of them to put in all the work on this, it's a big job!

If you're reading...

Yep, that's a big factor and probably the main reason why I stopped cleaning it - cost of getting it grouping again.

Would be very interesting to have a bunch of sacrificial barrels from the same...

Heads up for those with ballot blocks trying to get ahold of other groups - sounds like they've sent out the ballot block contact lists on January 28th but not everyone got them.

Checked saved targets:
Averaging 0.85 inch 5-shot groups fouled at 100 yards. Still working on my consistency so sometimes better, sometimes worse, but pretty uniformly between .60" on a good day...

Pretty much. It's at the stage now that unless it's obscenely dirty I just mist some oil down it and call it a day. Trouble is I like knowing why something is happening :D

Yep - same here. Multiple months out notice would be best.

Was reading another thread about barrel cleaning and figured I'd toss this out to the group.

Have a plain stainless tikka in 7mm08 that shoots well with tuned loads. Gun is in good shape with no...

Also be wary if you are transiting through any other countries other than your start/end countries (EG a layover in Australia or Hong Kong). Even the USA can be an issue if you transit through from a...

I'm really foggy on the specifics at the USA Federal and State level, but a lot of muzzle loaders (percussion, flint, modern, traditional) aren't considered firearms in most of the USA, or at least...

Asking the real questions :) Based on how it's written and also how the law is generally enforced here, my guess is that you're fine legally to discharge a bow wherever hunting is allowed, but if...

Charles first period - should be quite an adventure :D

I did previously and they didn't have a deadline. I didn't really want to bother them with repeat emails asking for updates. Figured if I asked on here then it would also be publicly visible in the...

You're dead on the money there, the devil is in the details. Hookey Knob is a hunting area, so A-ok to hunt it in that respect. Regarding "vicinity" of a track, because DOC doesn't define what...

When does the FWF usually release the contact info for the group you're sharing the block with? They didn't have final groups confirmed as of December 10th, but looking to start lining up helis and...

The main issue with the 795 is that the sear-hammer interface is designed by lawyers. IE: the angle on the sear is such that the sear has to actually slightly over-cock the hammer as you pull the...
