Thread: Gentle Annie Steel Challenge 2017

The Gentle Annie Steel Challenge (GAS Challenge for short) is a field target shooting competition held on one of the Central North Island’s most iconic back country stations. The property is located off the Napier-Taihape Road (The Gentle Annie).

The competition will be held on the 9th of December, 2017. There are very limited entries spots available.

There will be three classes of entry / competition as part of the 2017 GAS Challenge:
- Hunter class, 50 shots, targets between 10m and 350m, no full length magnums, nothing over 3200fps at the muzzle – as is normal for our hunter class events expect more positional shooting, some speed shooting, some precision shooting, and some unconventional positions.
- Precision class, 80 shots, targets out to ~1000m, nothing larger than a 300WinMag, nothing over 3200fps at the muzzle – expect this class to involve some speed, some positional, some problem solving, some unconventional shooting positions and plenty of shooting.
- Long range class, 40-50 shots, targets between 500m and 1400m, calibres up to .338 but talk to me if you want to use something bigger – expect this class to be mostly prone shooting but I am sure to throw something else in there.

Competitors will only be able to compete in one class and trophies will be awarded for all three classes.

Entry fee is $60 per competitor and is required to be pre-paid to confirm your entry. There is limit accommodation onsite or i can point you in the direction of nearby accommodation as well.

A 4wd vehicle is preferred and if you don't have one then you should come prepared to catch a ride from the Station out to the shoot location.
