South Island Big Bore Shoot March 28-29 2020

Time for the next one, 4th if memory serves me right.
You don’t actually need a big bore just turn up with a rifle and be prepared to have a good time, shoot a few targets, tell some stories and sample some of Harry’s awesome cooking. Possibly some wallaby shooting.
Usually 25-30 rounds needed. A mix of targets including the charging lion, running buffalo and jungle lane “hunt”.
Location is Kurow. Turn up about 11 am in Kurow on the Saturday. All done by mid-morning lunchtime on Sunday.

Fire away with any questions, or search for the videos of the past shoots on here or YouTube

PM if you can make it.

Might have to bust out the BGH 0.725 again. Be packing the king of calibers as well....;)

King of.calibers?
Wow!
You have a 505 Gibbs too?

*Penis length Competition commences *

There was a North Island version last year organised by ebf and TLRS in Taranaki hopefully there will be another this year.
Yes it is a long way and expensive but if I can combine it with another planned south island hunting trip I would be a starter.
As to orakis "king of calibres" ebf had allowed anyone with a sub 35 cal to compete in kindergarten class alongside the grown-ups

Well if I had the week off, got my dies and other bits and bob's off my mate and got some projectiles the 416 Remy could get a run

I feel a SI roadie coming on :thumbsup:

Just over a month to go, let me know if you will be coming.

I'm helping setting up and making dinner so you know I'll be there
Might try and set up a small bore range. if anyone wants to bring along a rimfire

Does a 44 mag count as big bore?

We don’t actually have any rules about what rifle is a big bore. A 44 mag would fit right in, especially if open sight.

Yip I be there.

Yip,booking at the camp.

@madjon_ on the Saturday night we will stay at the farmers woolshed and have dinner there etc.

Roger that

if anyone want's to bring along there .22 we'll set up a range for you

@Harryg @stug. How are numbers looking. Since the event up north has been put on hold, I’m free again for the weekend. Time for the BGH to smash some moving targets off the wire again.... if there’s still space for a wee fella

7 coming at the moment, assuming it goes ahead and isn’t cancelled by higher powers.

I'll be at beck and call of said higher powers that weekend so wont be able to attend unfortunately

Happy to head out and look for a reasonable 12 while your away tho @stug....lol

There are higher powers than 7 men carrying big bore rifles?

Ahhhh,............. just clicked as I was typing,......... the Missus.

I did though talk with Tim today @Tussock and hopefully my description of events gave him enough encouragement to come along, he still has his 45/70.

Hi Guys, @jakewire @madjon_ @Tentman @Fireflite @oraki

Harry and I have decided that with everything that is happening we need to postpone/cancel the event. We might be able to re-schedule for late November.

I'm sorry if this has caused any problems for people but we figured it was better to do it early rather than have our hand forced closer to the event.

Bugger, but good as.

All good .Abit of a bugger, but good call. You can call me flip flop. I can’t make it this year, yes I can, no I’m not, yes I am, no we’re not ...

Well it is a bastard but I might have my shit together for then and get the 416 sorted

all good - I'll take young Sam hunting. cheers

PS - if you @Harryg and @stug canceled cause you got to more than 10 people by counting me as two persons just cause I'm a bit fat I'll come back and haunt ya's

if anyone is still travelling and down our way in Invers there's s feed and a bed going as per usual
