I dont know if the rest of you can shoot but some of the people i have shot with have proven track records which i use as bench marks against other shooters.
These people do it for jobs and their lives and makes me feel like a learner with their skills and knowledge they have which i sometimes have the privlidge of been shared with me.
Thats what competitions are great for they weed out the b/s and are great levelers of over confidence of ones abillty .

A nice freindly get together would be well worth while for some interesting l/r shooting!

Cheers Andy

you and others would rather hate than help other shooters -move along and gas with your pals and brew up jelousy , tall poopy syndrome and hate -itll get boring pretty quick -me I will focus on this thread and those that are enjoing what has been posted so fa and hope some positive people join in on it and give their opinion and knowledge -haha elitist and boring --oh god I think I sharded -do you feel challenged by me not being a part of your click and being out going R93 - you could see the latest Guns and Hunting magazine I think I get a mention for my shooting ability on "that day"-How about you , you any good?? I never forget though hero to zero zero to hero -its just the way it goes .

Now how about we stop this small minded shit and get a good thread happening again

I dont read magazines mate, I load them. Pointing out that you have had mentions in magazines is rather pointless and insecure? Seeing I dont know your real name, I dont need too either as I am not interested sorry. I dont really care if anyone thinks I am any good or not. I have done all right, I had a rewarding military career and have had you in a way, pay for most my LR training which is comforting and sort of amusing.
I admitt to coming across elitist on some/many subjects as well El b I dont mean to be, its just the way it comes out. If I am pulled up on it I am not going to get too wound up about it.
I most likely lack your abilities at LR target shooting El b but I am sure I could hold my own in most other regards. As I have said before, I will refrain from posting on any of your future threads.

R96 this isnt about you or me it is a thread on Wind and Mirage not who can piss the futherst - I would welcome your post most definatly and as you can see trying to get you guys to post but am takin flak for it , which doesnt faze me at all really in fact I find it humorous but I would rather we posted some good stuff about the subject matter even if you find it on mars I dont care as long as it moves us forward in the learning process !! My name does not matter as I possibly will never meet any of you but have met some and shoot with others .And thank you R93 for your good millatary service and I dont mind a bit that my taxes were spent on you as it was a good investment -I am from a millatary family myself as my father was the longest serving officer in the RNZN

I just checked. I have not even undone my fly. I have made no claims on my ability, only mentioned the lack of them.

Andy I look forward to shooting with soon and will call -like the sounds of the Pheasants down the road from you and would love to run a dog for you - next comp I wanna beat you next time baddddddddddddddddddddddd

That awkward moment when elboringchoo realises hes just a plonker.......

Im on holiday now, im sorry but I just dont apreciate the way u come on here an abuse long standing members and post and talk like you own the show... Its a good bunch on here thats come here from the other place to get away from people who know how to use the keyboard abit more than their abilities and certain politics.... Your more than welcome to become part of this what id call a club I suppose... Just dont come around posting as you know it all.. Spark a discussion sure, we are here to help each other and share our knowledge... I do however know that the guys here are pretty close and also keep in touch via text and phonecall.
We have a place where we can yarn away as if were at the "pub"... Actions such as to tell members not to post as their posts are not following your tight guidelines obviously dont work for you.....

Put it this way... Think like were at the pub, uve had abit much to drink... Thats ok we all do.. So go home think about your actions and come back tomorrow with a smile on your face and embrace our culture... Else go back to your old pub and stay there....

I guess we differ greatly -you want a general chat forum with mates and nothing to serious or technical -start with wind and mirage and end up with recipes for making brownies -sensible , helpful and youll learn to make brownies but for get about the wind and mirage and forget about having stuff there for people that want to find this stuff out as you Tussock just want to gas with the boys- shoulda had that in the FAQ and we could have avoided the night of the living retards LOL

HAHA your dragging this off topic just about more than anyone else there cheif

If you attend an do all this shooting a vid to tell us how to do it wont take that long?

Lets see him show up in grey.... Hes welcome to come give us a lesson how to shoot... He can have his own wee competition in the corner against us while we all compete in a friendly manner and take the piss out of each other..

Hey abe 1st shot on the steel 1146m wit the 6.5 wasnt it lol

Tui_man2 battling fire breathing dragooons tends to expend energy for sure and take us away from the topic at hand but it seems from the mod that doesnt matter as Hi-Jack is ok here as long as your one of the crew !
Now seriously me shooting alot -I shoot weekends as I am a worker 5 days a week at least 35 hours a week -I know I shouldnt put that much time into work and neglect the family but it is the big smoke up here and people demand alot .
I guess a video would be good but who has the time to make one -I do have a camera and will try to film the Tekapo shoot in two weeks and post if I can , me shooting myself in the foot at half a yard due to a bad wind call and being blinded by mirage -seriously I will post !!!! It will be quite cool with 30 other shooters out there flys down pissing far to impress- hopefully mine goes furtherest if not se' la vie there is always tomorrow .

Maybe youd better wait for an answer before doing a bicarbonate of soda in the coke bottle !!!And then again if the civvy guys bald maybe it was him ??? Pm Andy , if he wants to say who it was I am sure youll get to know

How long were you in the Wrens for

The guys that founded this forum, and those that have been attracted to it, are the non chest beating, neither zero, not hero types, who have no desire to see their name in lights, or to kiss big name arse. The theme around here is, 20 years experience, or 2 weeks, a good idea is a good idea, and a bad one is a bad one. And everyone is allowed to have that idea, and have its merits weighed, and receive a reasonable answer.

This thread, and the one before it are non stop squabbles, even though I think we are really all on the same page. El Borracho, take a little time to get used to the type of people on this forum, and our style of doing things, and the rest of you (myself included), cut him some slack untill he does.

Well said. You are right. I will take this aboard as I am just as touchy.
