Thread: Hunting Aotearoa

Anyone watch Hunting Aotearoa tonight? Goes to show, we all have different ideas on what 'hunting accuracy' is.

Care to elaborate?

It was on Maori TV so should be available on demand if you want to check it out. Better than me trying to explain.

dont watch it absolute amateurs in one respect its a laugh in another its WTF

Plastic hunting. ie not the real thing

I watch it on demand. Entertaining.

BUT, shots at sambar iirc 6-700 yards, clean miss. Along with a few other deer, obviously not hit well. Bad form should NEVER get to air.

Tells you everything you really need to know about the show, doesn't it.

I thought @Shearer was referring to the episode where they sighted in a thermal.
We tried a bit harder to do better with our 3 shot groups years ago.

The one I was referring to was when checking the see who was the best shot with the T3/Pulsar combo. 3 shooters fired at a large paper coffee cup sitting on a stump at 60 yards distance. They were leaning over a bonnet using a jacket for a rest . 9 shots fired for a combined total of 2 hits on the cup.

I will have to watch a few more then.
I am recovering at home post hip replacement and a bit bored.

will have to look back a but further. PS Erniec, hang in there, I hit 3 months post surgery this week. made it out for a goat hunt on a cattle farm the other week. Bit slow with all the puging up of the ground in places. Also made it up a 300mtr climb up and down over 4km last weeks so finally feeling like it's paying off.
How far post surgery are you, about week 8-9 I was getting a bit down as it felt like forever and no way was I going walking off track then.

I was pondering this tonight. A pighunters ideally should be able to shoot end out of beer can at ten yards.....consistancy.... Yet my experience tells me few have ever checked where gun shoots at 25 yards.... Having ability to sit and take steady shot from 50 yards away can save a LOT of grief at times... I know some onhere could shoot base out of beer can through the tear tab hole....that is actually fun to do.

I always zero at 100 yards but I check to see what it does at 25 yds just in case I need to do a close up finishing shot and have shot many piggys stalking at 30 yds and less just a head sticking around a tree - and I want that pork all of it especially a 50-70 lb model

Coming up 3 weeks this coming Tuesday.
Doing about 2-2.5km down the road using crutches the physio said to concentrate on walking straight and develop muscle memory not a limp.
Can wander around without crutches but starting now on exercises to develop/get strength back ie lifting leg up down sideways etc.
Going pretty well pain just about gone.
Slept for an unbroken spell last night 10:30 to 4:00 which is an improvement on prior to op.
But definitely conscious of ground conditions.
