Bring and shoot it event

The Te Puke Hunters shoot is coming again in about a months time.

In past years there have been good numbers of forum members come along, it would be good to try and have a "get together " again.

The format is a change up from the past and will be along the lines of if you hunt with it you can shoot it. It will be a prize shoot but prizes will be drawn not competed for, so essentially you will be competing with yourself or among your mates.

There is a caliber ( 8 mm ) limit (thats for safety reasons of passover shots onto other land.)

And NO MUZZLE BREAKS for everyone elses comfort ( you can shoot your breaked rifle when everyones finished ;) )
thats about it

NO scope size limit

Any combination under a given weight limit.... so you can run a bipod and suppressor on your rig

Basically like I said if you hunt with it you can shoot it.

There will be a deer target at 300 yards and then as we step back to 500 and 600 yards it will be a bullseye target. All scoring will be electronic.
At the end there is usually a free for all ( under a range Officer of course ) to try out others gear etc, we could even have a couple of Labradars there if people ask.

You really only need to have a basic zero already sorted of 100 yds or meters which ever way you lean.
Followed by a barby and some political discussion on law changes ( but I will leave the subjects up to you! )

I came along last year, really enjoyed it and learnt a few things (e.g. that I shoot way better with a bipod than a daypack). A few people were surprised how well the 243 handled the breeze too!

Sounds like it'll be a damn good low key day

Yep. You eill be able to shoot off yr pack or bipod and yr normal hunting scope. Deer target will be scored only on vital area hits. Essentially a great day out for hunters to sort themselves out before the roar. This one really hospitable club with many of New Zealands best shots on hand to coach where requested. About 30 shots for the day.

300 Winmag ok?

Yes. That is about the upper power limit.
But no 338's

Il make an effort this time

If a win mag squeaks in could I bring my 9.3 by 62

The NRA has an energy limit on their ranges. Best you contact Mike collings at Whakatane for the fine details I think. My guess is that because it is a magnum over 8mm that it would be a no.

Ok, maybe I'll bring the 30 06 then.

Nah ya cant bring 30 06's either... we only let Woody shoot 30 06, if he has competition he may not come. :pacman:

One of our members shoots a win mag so bring it along!

Course of fire is.
7 rounds at 300
two sighters and five scoring hits. If you are tight or good or both you can convert the sighter/s to scoring hits.
Same at 500
Same at 600 but shot twice
Giving a total score out of 100 ( max 5 points per shot ) so minimum rounds is 20, max is 28 but bring spares ( I might want to try your rifle and you might want to try mine kinda stuff.

Bah ! My 30-06 cleaned a couple of years ago and my 6.5*55 last year. Might blow the cobwebs off the -06 again this time for a change. Sorted the extra deer targets this morning so she's all go :)

Hey Woody
Keen to come have a practice shoot on Saturday.
What’s the deal there? Just turn up to the address on the competition ad? Time? Fee for a practice shot?
Got a new Browning Hellfire 22 mag last week that needs zeroing and keen to give the 25-06 a test at the range and come along to the comp with it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Range fee for a normal day is $20.
On Saturday 6th March shooting will be at 300, 500 and 600 yds. So long as you already have a reasonable known 100 yd zero, we can get you on paper pretty quickly.
If you are there by 9:30 should be all sweet.

@JayV. Yep just turn up with yr 25-06. Be quite casual this saturday with easy going bunch. If yr rifle is not zeroed there is a zeroing range available to sort it. Cheers.

Thanks for the replies guys. Will have to come down and check it out. Might need a flasher HP rifle. Everything I shoot is under 100 and the deer I got last week was at about 15! Thing nearly walked into me. Anyway will be good to see what my rifle is like at a longer distance. Thanks for the info.

there some where i can zero my rifle ? could be keen for the trip down

Hi Dynastar27
We have a 100yrd range to zero your rifle, you just need to bring your own target for it .It might pay to get there a little earlier so you can get your rifle zeroed before we get started
Cheers Ivan

Awesome been a long time since i pulled the .270 out of the safe

Are long range noobs welcome? never shot past 200m really

Yep noobs are welcome. We were /are all noobs. We like noobs but not nobs 😁

Went down and had a practice yesterday. Very hospitable club. They took the time to sort my gun, had an impromptu coaching session and even let me have a shot with one of their competition rifles. Learned a lot and had a great day. Really surprised how accurate a $650 second hand gun could be at 600 yards with the right coaching. Thanks heaps Te Puke rifle club. Would say a special shout out to the awesome bloke who did it all but I have forgotten your name, so sorry. You know who you are though.

I did'nt make it yesterday due to some other stuff I had to do but am sure looking forward to next Sundays open event. Glad you had a good experience there @JayV.

Just a reminder our Bring it and Shoot event is on this Sunday 7th March so come along and have a crack at shooting your hunting rifle out to 600 yards,
Full details further back in this thread.
This is a fun relaxed event that everyone enjoys
BBQ and bevies afterwards ,see you there!
