Thread: Chaz Forsyth memorial

Gidday folks on behalf.

Photo explains it all but all are welcome.

good shoot it was

The match was really awesome.

Yeah it was good.

what was the turn out like?

40 shooters.

Was a good mix of shooters too. lots of new faces.

Did someone hit the Stags antlers, or were they just askew?

@Cowboy06 would know. but wouldn't be surprised if it got hit.

I reckon Nick needs to include a goat target

Anyone know what the first place shooter was shooting?

Out of interest what are the "rules" (if any) surrounding equipment for a hunter match? ie: weight limit for rifles etc? Not that it probably matters much but I'm kind of interested in getting along and shooting some of these kind of things and woukd feel a bit out of place to show up with a bergara and a box of ammunition and find myself on the line with a heap of 15-20lb PRS style rigs. Not expecting to win any prizes or compete for places etc but just interests me to go shoot with a bunch of people shooting similar equipment

For this match - the intent is for shooters to use hunting rifles.

Sub 12-lb weight limit (although I saw a few that were way over that - e.g. a chap in my squad shooting an AI AW .338LM)
No tripods or dedicated shooting rests/bags.
Any cal, speed under 3200fps


Equipment really isn't a factor to do well. I placed 2nd this weekend shooting my 8lb 6mmGT hunting rifle setup. A mate placed 8th shooting a 1990s factory stock model 7 .243 in a plastic stock with a leupold mk3 scope shooting the 87vmax at pretty moderate speed.


If you're a good shooter in real field positions, familiar with your system and have your data squared away, you should do well even with a bergara and a box of factory ammo - a good % of people don't meet those.



I'd encourage everyone to give it a go and find out how often you can do everything right across the course.

There is no hard rule for the rifle used in the match. On equipment side no shooting sticks or rear sand bags allowed for this match.
