Dannevirke NZDA Field Shoot
Dannevirke NZDA branch (through Neckshot) hosted a center fire field shoot today. We had awesome weather after a couple of rain showers early in the morning.
Malcolm and I set a relatively easy course with a few challenging positions as well. Was a good day though. Was great to meet a few new people and have some fun shooting.
