Thread: Toby (Ballsack) Memorial Shoot 14-15 Oct 2017

There was talk of Lake Lyndon (among solving all the world's other problems) which would make a great venue the only problem being what DOC's thoughts would be...

Few with stations down south would be awesome, apparently I'm already car pooling with @BRADS so looking forward to it

Somewhere in Marlborough would be great. Not far off the ferry for the foreigners and not too far for most SI blokes.

For any BLENHEIMITES / MARLBURIANS

Is the fullbore rifle range at woodbourne still in operation.?

Yeah @ebf the Kaituna range, other than a station up the Awatere etc that would be easy for us N,I's to find ( and us ex S.I's )

that one is a bit short (900 yds max) for the toys some of the guys bring to these events.

at least 2km targets, varied terrain with gullies etc would be good

I wouldn't have believed such a range would be necessary until this weekend gone, quite an eye opener. Still stunned that you got to 1800m with a 7/08!

Has already been said but thanks to everyone for a great weekend, I didn't know anyone but everyone was very welcoming, thanks brads and Mel great venue and very well organised with some great feeds put on, shot the furthest I've ever shot and got to play with some others fun guns, now I've got to find a gunsmith to rechamber my gun to 7mmsaum haha

@nickbop Send it to Scott Trail (SSRNZ) in the Wairarapa.

fuck my van is slow. that is gonna take a week to get there, not to mention the swim across the channel.
If i get my 40mm up and running by then ill try some long range shots from Punganui (auckland)
