Once I get my shit together I will put up a thread about the 2016 version of this event... :thumbsup:

Quite true Woody, but as I have been trying to win that trophy for a year or two now coming so close and to loose it on some really basic screw-ups on my part is a bitter pill to swallow. I was...

Don't worry, I shot a field competition yesterday and made several stupid decisions but luckily they were pretty much all on the first stage. Didn't foul the barrel like I was allowed to do, didn't...

Some forum member results for the medium range event...
Open class - 200 points possible - 17 competitors.

Hennie260 - 126 points - 2nd in open class - top scored on 3 of ten stages
The Bloke...

Yep, ok if that is all the bribe is going to be then Woody you definitely missed horribly. In fact, all evidence indicates you somehow managed to hit both "no shoot" targets with that miss...

A few photos from the center fire match...

Eventual 1st place in open class

A tricky prone shot that many...

I suspect we should be considering a bribe before we consider the dispute... :)

I really shouldn't perpetuate the term hostage. They were "no shoot" targets hanging in front of, and partially covering a target for score... but lets just say more than one person decided dead men...

Ouch, this would have had me questioning everything I did. You should have asked me when I was walking around, if you had queried the distance discrepancy I might have been able to help.

Oh and...

Once I have typed up all the results i'll post forum member's scores and placings if you like. By my count there was about 11 forum members in attendance. :thumbsup:

Thanks very much Guys,
Had a big weekend - 35 competitors on Saturday (which make this a big event for us) even with the wet weather we had. Great to see people come along and test themselves and...

i have a couple of open spots if someone else wants to attend. Get in touch! :thumbsup:

I have been asked a couple of times now about the gear requirements for the upcoming Tarata Medium Range event. So here goes, this is my minimum, recommended, and optional gear requirements.
...

EVILWAYZ, spectators are fine.

No entry fee for spectators of course but first priority at the BBQ will go to competitors. Spectators will still get some BBQ of course, but I had better feed the...

No worries Mac, I am looking at redesigning the course and target layout at the moment to try and accommodate more people.

I started with 5 stages, each shot twice (shot slightly differently but...

Sounds fine Woody.

Where does the Norma Magnum sit compared to a 300Win Mag Woody? I ask as the competition is limited to nothing bigger than a 300WinMag.


Just an update on entries. I currently have over 30...

Yeah, I don't think you were at the Tarata event that had the "contortionist sheep ledge" or the Rotorua event we had the "stuck in a rock" stage... :D

ebf, stop spoiling my fun! I had visions of Savage1 trying to hit a 2" dot standing at 15m three times in a minute or so, with his scope on 8x...

And no I do not consider myself vindictive......

Can't say I have seen too many of that type of scope come up at a really good price... for this medium range event you don't need that level of scope even in open class. There will only be a couple...

No worries guys. Just let me know. Got a few people coming along for the Saturday - not as many for the Sunday at this stage

This one isn't much of a walk Woody, similar to the Te Kuiti shoot with maybe a little more elevation to travel. That assumes of course, you bring a vehicle capable of safely getting up the hill to...

gimp, i see there is a 22 Jungle Lane event at Benmore Station, Springfield, Christchurch in February 2016... i am looking to go but need work to play ball.

Also our Hihitahi Challenge is coming...

Ok have sorted a few more details.

Entry fee for this event will be $40 per competitor for one day. If you are competing both days the entry fee will be $60 for the weekend per competitor. Junior...

Woody, Maca49 you guys can always share a rifle but as you are required to carry everything you need for the day I am going to have to insist you guys compete with one of your legs ties to each other...
