Thread: Big bore shoot 2019

What a great day,
Standing Static target practice to get us on song, damn hard.

Then a simulated charge using balloon at various closing distances from 60 yards to 10, shooting and reloading and shooting and reloading as fast as you can, definitely harder than it sounds what with short stroking and missing, 5 shots 5 balloons, the pressure keeps mounting .

Running Buffalo, same story, begins with having to shoot the plate/ clip to get it started then it runs on a flying fox type arrangement on a wire running left to right, pressure mounts again and not many got a full mag off though some did.

Then a favorite from last year, the charging lion, great fun , even the cocky got involved in that one. Lion had some very close shaves and a couple of haircuts but also some unsurvivable hits

The Bush hunt - Leopard, Antelope, Buffalo, Zebra and Warthog hidden in the brush, one shot at each each, miss and your done, onto the next one.
lets just say not all of us would have to pay trophy fees.

Finishing off with the Big bore long range shoot, gongs at 245 yards, i did notice some smaller flatter shooting calibers made an appearance then, but the big guys also held their own.

Thanks to @southernman, @Harryg, @stug, @Tentman, @oraki, @Fireflite, and John for their excellent company during what was a marvelous day.

Acknowledgement has to be made to stug and Harryg for the entertaining ideas they come up with, Southernman for travelling over 8 thousand miles to attend, Tentman for explaining to me about his lead bullets, Fireflite for being the caretaker of my Precious, Oraki for turning up with his .729 caliber which made nice BIG surgical holes in anything he chose to hit and also John for once again allowing us to tear up a part of his dirt in the name of good company and outright fun.
