Tarata Medium Range Precision Field Shoot (Taranaki)
I have a medium range shoot coming up in November. I'm going to use the next few posts on this thread to let you know what it is about.
As usual for my shoots there is limited entry places.
Take note of the practice session. If you want to come along and just shoot some steel for fun and not bother competing then i am going to have a position set up just to do that. I will have a few targets at distances from 100m out to 700m (only actually 4 seperate ranges).
For the competition targets will range from 100m to about 600m. Expect to have to employ some positional shooting and shoot under a time limit while competing. Each competitor will need to score for another competitor so take note of the bring a time keeping device and some optics to spot hits on steel targets.

The following entry information will be required to be submitted prior to the date of the shoot. There are a limited number of entries so try and let me know early if you want to come so you don’t loose your spot.
