This is a promo video taken at a long range 22LR field target shoot (jungle lane) late last year.
It was an awesome day and i hope there will be more of this type of shoot coming up.
Enjoy

To be clear this is not a video of mine. It was produced by Indiefilm out of Hamilton.
That looks like alot of fun
Awesome. how far to they get out to? looked pretty far
was that a nightforce on a .22!!?!?!
Yep that is a nightforce alright. Targets were from 40m to about 180m on the day. Plan was to take them to 200m. The majority of targets were between 70m and 120m.
With zerostop no less?:D Everything fun, shooting comp/sport wise is done in the NI. We need to address the issue down this way I reckon.Quote:

Pretty sure he took that off his 6.5mm f-class rifle and put it on the 22LR for this competition.
Scout group was there with their parents. Inexpereinced or unlicensed competitors were squaded with experienced shooters to either just help them out or in some cases to share rifles and ammunition. Was a lot of fun. The guy running the event had to ask people to leave after about 6pm as they were happy to stay on and shoot! About 30 odd competitors there on the day. The 2" disk movers were fun in the wind. I was aiming behind the target and the wind was blowing my bullet into it!
Ha Ha maybe? As long as he is not allowed to shoot? Na, we have excellent clay target stuff, but bugger all for the riflemen in the south. Not sure if you can even shoot F-class in the SI? Lets face it Trentham is not the nicest place to visit and shoot:DQuote:

Heaps of cool stuff happens at the Bruce Rifle Club just out of Dunedin, there's an unknown distance long range event last weekend of Feb, etc
Ha! Did not know that. Is it all rattle gun stuff (done enough of that, even in Dunedin) or like what Gillie does up north?Quote:

Unknown distance. There's also misc other known distance precision shoots etc. As I say I'm only a new member so I can't provide a full list of what's shot and how often but since I joined it's been 300 meter precision (scoped rifle etc) which was rained off, Service rifle last weekend, action shoot next, then unknown distance long range.Quote:

I got a tikka sporter .308 and took a PMII 5-25 off another rifle here planning on starting out shooting F-TR but I went over for a look last weekend and shot ok off a sling doing so I'm going to go down that route instead after being persuaded by the guys.
There was guys shooting F-TR there but the vibe of the place was more about straight TR shooting off a sling.
...working fine now, maybe I had a connection problem earlier... thanks.Quote:

Are they doing this sort of thing in Christchurch, It sound like a lot of fun to get into. especially the 22lr stuff, I'm way to poor to be putting that much 308 down range,
I am not aware of an event like this in Christchurch yet but there is nothing stopping someone putting one on.
