Thread: Auckland gong shoot

I am going to organize a Auckland based Contest Gong shoot which will be limited to the amount of guys I can have on the property -have to check with farmer to see what suits him
-cost $20 per head as that is what the farmer charges and would need a hand with some gongs as my supply is limited and also to set the shoot up .
Ranges from 300 -865 multiple positions
Can camp overnight if you come on Friday , camp fire, good humour -cups of Carnui english breakfast tea and booze for those that drink
Please let me know if your interested as this could be done within a month or so

Could be keen depending on dates. Possibly a Lower North Island convoy?

Yep, I'm keen. Especially as I wussed out of the Central NI one due to the weather.

Lets see how many put their hands up and see if it is worth guys from down the island attending -big drive to bang steel -mind you beautiful area over looking the west coast of Muriwai beach

If it ends up being more than like 2 months away I would be interested in giving it a go, I'm without rifle for 6 weeks at this time.
Don't normally shoot beyond 300m so it would be interesting/embarrasing.

I'd be keen, could help out with some steel plates & pipe supports if required.

You will surprise yourself when you make hits at the 865 range -no biggie at all just have your ballistics sorted out -ie speed and bc for your pill and a ballistic program on your phone or pda .If you need any info just ask

I'd be over the moon hitting something at 500m
My standard shooting/spots means 200m is a long way

Previous long range shoots really helped with my long range varmint shooting.
Gave me the confidence and added know how to zap furry critters at 400m on the first shot.

im keen

If dates suit, Have frames and gongs, If I leave the ones that are set up probably have 4 450 square and some smaller ones on pivots



some of them....not looking so flash now even the frames got a hammering at 300 last time




And Biz400 12mm isn't enough at times

If he is into a gong competition and has a rifle

How many guys run mill dot reticles that are interested in this shoot as I would like to employ a few range finding excersies with out LRF -reticle range and shoot .

I have spoken with the farmer and he is cool -he wants to charge me $30 pp for the weekend which is 10 bucks less than normal for being on his property 2 days -cheap as chips!!!

I am yet to decide exact format but am thing of a six stage event 2 lots of 5 shots per stage prone and not prone -by that you decide how you shoot and with what ever you weant -tree , sticks, dogs back whatever . total 60 rounds
