    This might be a bit out of left field and it is only a suggestion, nothing more.

    Grab your .22 and a couple of boxes of standard velocity ammo and track down your closest small bore club whether it be a NZDA one or otherwise, introduce yourself and join in.

    It's more fun than you might think and you will be able to gauge where you are at with you own ability. It will also improve your marksmanship regardless, and it wont cost the earth to do.

    With any luck you may make some contacts that will be able to help you get the results your after.

    Coincidentally enough I've just sent a missive off to Seadown Shooting Complex and once I've got my NZDA subs upto date I'll be dropping into South Canterbury branch
    I have spent a lot of time and around 300 rounds with the 22/10 I use for possum control and that's been working well, I have on occasion knocked them over at 80M but it's not the same as shooting paper to see how my grouping is, hmmm
    expect nothing, appreciate everything - and there's ALWAYS something to appreciate
