@Cowboy06, can you post some more info about classes, equipment restrictions etc

No restrictions but spirit of the course is hunting scenarios. We are not running it as a match. This is an experience for people to get out and enjoy shooting and for new guys to come along without the pressure of a match. We will have score cards for people to see how they went amd see where they might need to improve.

Check out Sparrowhawknz on Facebook for a few short videos from our latest matches.

Looked like some challenging conditions

If your wanting to come to this event RSVP in the events page for Hunter challenge. 31st January. www.sparrowhawk.co.nz

Bloody trg has decided to spit the 300gn Berger's out sideways, hope I can get it fixed/rebarreled in time for king of the ranch.

I would'nt be able to attend, but your on the right track. Its very important for the competitors to enjoy the shoot.

I've hosted 100s of shooting comps and the first point/tick on the agenda was: the guys have to enjoy it.

Ask for feedback - positive&negative.

Maybe next time.

Hi @Cowboy06 how often do you have something like this seems like an awesome event. I wouldn’t be able to make this one but if you have another one i would be keen as :thumbsup:

As above December and Jan is pretty much always fully booked for me but would be interested in a less formal shoot than a comp.

Yes that is why I would be interested. :thumbsup:

I would be there this time but I’ve only got 7 rounds left and nobody seems to know when more projectiles are due in the country. It was 2 weeks ago 8 weeks ago and I’ve been waiting since august

We may try and have it open less formal on one of our monthly range days later. @Mr300WSM what projectiles are you after. You could always get some factory ammo.

None in stock, I can get 180 EOL and factory Norma.

Hey Sam @Cowboy06 - I've got two new guys who are keen to give it a go. At this stage I am planning to have them use my rifle and gear.

What sort of squad sizes are you looking at? As it's a sporter weight barrel it might get pretty warm after 3 rounds each at each station.

Will be well cool by the time you walk and get ready at the next station. Think it was planned to be squad of 4.

Should be ok

This was a great day out guys. I was new to the place and concept and thoroughly enjoyed it. Big thanks to the guys who put in a lot of effort & time to make this happen for fellow shooters. Met a lot of good people who all helped each out out sharing info and knowledge along the course. Looking forward to doing it again :)

It was certainly an outstanding day. Lots of new faces and plenty of old. Great mix of people, targets and shooting.

Amazing support from a wide range of supplier and great prizes from Element Optics NZ, Stager Sports, Point South, Precision Platforms, Kahles, Rifle Ranch Targets and others.

Scopes, range finders, rifle stocks, gongs, First Light gear, and much, much more all given away.
