The fact is someone who is serious about shooting such distances would have already sniffed out the very limited number of people who could actually help him set something up. To my knowledge the Gun Slinger competition is the only real measure of serious long range shooters ability. I wonder how many here compete in that?

I'll go out on a limb here because I really don’t care. Is the reference to "long range" in this forum actually only limited to 600 yards oh shit I meant meters how backward of me.
Any wonder there is very limited sharing of good info in this forum. To anyone reading this who actually wants to learn something beneficial and to improve your ability you are absolutely in the wrong place.

Have fun with that guys I’m out.

@Bugger That, she's a high horse you have there, mate. Sweetas though, each to their own.
As BRADS said ask the right questions and you will get knowledgeable answers - yes those answers are always going to mixed in with a bit of banter but as I see it its a internet forum and anyone should be doing their own research and coming up with there own conclusions anyway. There is a whole heap of information out there on ELR shooting.

Just one more thing, a bit of a point of interest of mine. The Gunslinger events, as cool as they are, are not the only long range or even extreme long range steel events in NZ. There are a whole bunch of extremely accomplished long range shooters in NZ who have never attended a Gunslinger event and that fact doesn't diminish their accomplishments - competition wise, professionally or individually.

Have a good day!
