    North (tries to) catch up to south island

    So a bit of a rum fueled thought.....

    What about a north south shoot?
    Thinking some thing like, each island have a shoot, submit scores etc... Maybe classes, etc..... Then maybe a combined shoot, but all scores mater. Meaning we could have a island / nation meet and shoot, but dont want the the cost of inter island travel to be a hinderance.

    Maybe a handycap system on the scoring, blaser = -8, tikka +2, etc,.... Ni -2 si +5, etc......


    Really its just a reason to get a group of people together for a shot and a piss take at the end


    Thoughts?

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    @Rushy the South Island is a myth, no such thing as the South Island. Tell as many North Islanders as you can.

    Good idea Beaker.
    But like the super rugby we will have to have a conference style competition so the north islanders get a look in.

    You know, get less points than everyone else but still get to play in the finals😆

    If it was 2014 you would have said people should be penalised for NOT using one

    Now where is the sport in that Mikee? Brad's is half my age and has twice my strength so he will probably fancy himself in an arm wrestle and will take me on. He will probably have my arm over at 45 degrees to his advantage inside the first minute but then ........... well let's just say that with age comes experience and wisdom ........ of and a lifetime of applying the nipple twist when the opponent least expects it. Ha ha ha ha.
