Greetings All,
Thanks for your replies, likes and mentions. I think my first target shoot was in 1981 using my standard Remington 700 ADL with a 2.5 power Tasco scope and a hard plastic butt plate. Loads were full power either 180 or 150 grain. 20 to 30 shooters turned up to most shoots on the now lost Roy's Hill range. Reading through the replies sees the same story repeated with loss of interest and loss of ranges. Most of my shooting is on a local range that has shotgun, pistol and rifle clubs using it. It is not open to the public, only the clubs and there is no target shooting program. The Wilkinson was last shot by the two Hawkes Bay NZDA branches in May 2019 and only the Taruarau shoot still uses the deer target to my knowledge. I would love to know if there are any others.
Regards Grandpamac.
