@planenutz rest assured I have no intention of changing any of our camp activities.

Some are a little apprehensive at the start but once they see the balloon pop there is no stopping them. Over the 2 hours they fire about 50 shots each. Some then go on and join our squad which has come 2nd in the NZ champs for the last two years.

There you go. Good stuff Gary.
