Anyone keen on a big bore shoot in the South Island?
No dates yet or even a place to do it. I thought something like an informal shoot at a range of targets out to 100 yds, off sticks and freehand. Maybe a moving target or two. Followed by a BBQ and Bullshit session. Somewhere we could camp, stay overnight would be awesome.
.375 and up.
Sounds like fun!
What about the wee boy cals???
So long as it is an African cartridge you'll be fine:thumbsup:Quote:

Yeah it would of, they have mice in Africa,
Be pretty keen on that to. may even know some where you hold it
So long as it is not too far north I'd be keen 9.3x62 and up?.
9.3x62 is practically a .375
My thought exactly.
Biff the 9.3x62 in the mix, and I will be Keen. If My husky has showed up in NZ by then..
im keen, no big bore rifles tho just measley 300 and 7mm mags
Bugger would be all over this but I'm in the wrong island!
Fly in to CHCH and I'll take you if you want. Working on a possible property at the moment but nothing in concrete.
I would also be up for it but will wait untill the dates are finalised before commiting to attending. Which gun to bring,thats going to take some brain time.:huh:
Just bring them all! I'm probably going to take .404 Jeffery, 9.3x62 and possibly 7x57
Here are some of my thoughts on what we could do.
3x shots at 50yds using shooting sticks, shooting at a scored target ie 10 ring, 9 ring etc
3x shots at 50yds freehand, shooting at a scored target
3x shots,timed. After first shot timer starts next two to be fired in 3-4 seconds 1 at 50yds off sticks, one freehand at 40yds, one freehand at 25yds, reactive type target (balloons, pieces of wood etc)
4x shots timed, shoot 2 shots at reactive target at 50yds, reload and shoot 2 more reactive targets at 50yds. Each miss is 5 seconds added to time.
Do something similar for "plains game rifles" but longer distances, ie 100yds instead of 50 yds.
Right, fingers crossed have the property sorted. At the moment I will say it is south of Timaru but north of Oamaru.
Dates I'm thinking of are late Jan - early Feb anyone have any preferences?
That suits well, and no , no date preference, just stacks of notice.
This almost seems like the excuse I need to get a big bore barrel for my R8...
