    Not as yet. Someone on here will know.
    Thanks for the offer Rushy. If it is not out of the way and no one else from down these ways is going and wants to split accommodation I will take you up on it.
    I might drive up and do a sika hunt as well before or after the shoot.

    Sakokid can't get on here for some reason but he will be at the memorial shoot.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    You could give VC and I a hand with the cooking Angus.

    Checked the calender looks fine so can I be added to the "B" team I'll bring some green bacon to go with the green beer (Waikato). Is 1000 metres too far for a .22?

    Nope 1000m is well with in .22 range for any average shooter although too much of that green stuff might definitely handicap you somewhat.

    I was trying to hit a 4 foot diameter gong at 200m this afternoon with my Speedmaster ......... only thing I can say about that exercise is "Must Try Harder"

    Cheers

    The number being catered for will be somewhere between lots and shit loads Angus. We will be running multiple spits.

    I can compromise by bringing an evil look for whoever that bottle is intended for.
