    Interesting developmet
    Not quite understanding the cultural references (too see me try and pick up a kiwi girl would be hilarious to onlookers, there are palpable differences in social code if minor).

    Back to the LR courses:
    - No I don't think I'll hold any courses on North Island. I love SI and that is where I'll go. The courses I hold (it's not really a course) is not really anything special, they are just basic introductions - putting the marksmanship principles into a workstream. There's plenty of expertise locally to hold the same course and better as you'd have more time and can do followups. People listen to me only because of a perceived skill, but I'm not doing anything you're not - I'm just systematic.

    From what little I have gleaned, kiwi shooters are lacking in confidence but not skill. Link to last course and here the shooters grasped the principles quickly and were shortly shooting head sized targets at 7-800 meters with rifles as "unsuitable" as a Remington 7. In a short span as one day is, only forced progression can be offered, leaving the shooter to pick off bad habits and assimilate on his own accord later. All I can do is to repeat the same message again and again, there's no voodoo in physics and you must have the basics. Put the basics into a workstream routine and you'll see how remarkably effective you'll shoot.

    You have shooters that are technically highly proficient, hunters that are highly experienced (I have met quite a few now, and kiwi hunters are on the average as good as they come) and participants who gladly share and put in an effort for others.

    My hope is that you'd stop looking to the US motormouths, replace "Norways LR CD" with an updated local version* and put what you already have into an accessible and inclusive system.

    (* I'd suggest you divide various topics out to board members, telling them to make 3-10 "childrens book pages" (tons of pics, little text), collect them, put them in order and publish as a pdf.)
