Thread: Another practical shooting test for Hunters

Ah ...
So its like the Hihitahi Challenge on steroids.

We'd need to incorporate the lessons from that:
It's bloody good fun.
Not many people are confident enough of their all round skills to put them on the line in open competition. They have the ability but doubt themselves or else are just not into competitions (more likely).
A lot of people who can, would rather spend the weekend hunting.
A few people were put off, I think, by the idea of walking 10km round easy farm tracks. But 30km at Waiouru over 2 days would be an easy do for people used to mountain marathons.

A bit more service like flavour could attract more competitors. Yet detract from acceptability to both the general public and hunters.
To weight up the hunting theme, we could have say centrefire with snapshot bush hunt, running boar, deer (maybe "trophy stag amongst hinds" ) at 100 - 200m, a tahr/ chamois stage at 300-400m and a steel plate stage at 600 - 1000m. Then rimfire problems like the nearby rat, a possum in tree, running rabbit, standing hare, a 150m magpie, 200m extreme steel and so on. I'm not sure if shotgun would add to it or not. Hard for a pair to carry 3 guns.
