    To keep in the theme
    Is there to be a minimum plains game caliber, or perhaps an age limit, eg
    No calibre that was new in the last 50/60 ? years
    say nothing under 6.5
    just thinking aloud.

    We've had a few small shoots in the North island over the last few years and have found that big/lifesize targets make the event a lot of fun.

    Hi @stug
    We had them printed by the local print shop, we used high res photos of lion & buff and did some basic editing to add the target areas.
    color prints are more expensive, but look much better.

    You can also try to get some Norma Bigbore targets, they are about 30% to scale and work well when shot at 50yards

    Harry and I caught up with the farmer today. Found a great place to have the shoot. We are allowed to stay in the woolshed. All go for the wallaby shoot too.
    I will have a couple of spare seats in the vehicle if anyone needs a ride.
