Thread: Wind , mirage the last Frontier

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

Mirages has never bothered me much for the target shooting days cant give away one easy way to limit that.......
Wind just look at the vegetation arond like what has been posted it takes time to learn an like i say people get use to things different ways, a with long range cals you can limit this to some degree also

I dont visit the pub much either but know how to have a drink or 2

Best keep off the piss Tui_man2 you can spend more on ammo ! I am a target shooter if you like in that I dont hunt .I shoot alot and anyone that shoots with me shoots a fair bit to .We have newer people out to shoot and theyre not thre to shoot 50-100 yards unless hunters -I expect someone with a rifle to know how to point and shoot -getting the other bit correct like trigger pull , natrual pont of aim , breathing , how to use their scope doesnt take more than a few lessons to makle them understand what is required -its upto them to perfect these things in time .From there they want to know why at 300 yards they can hit the small gong on a windy day --well you can imagine I dont keep the good oil from them .
After these things are passed on and understood it is up to the individual to ask for advice or practice what has been taught -problem with alot of hunting folks I have met they just dont shoot enough .Something I have found funny about many is they all say their rifles can shoot "basically"a one hole group-always amazes me

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 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.

I have seen most of the posters on this thread shoot LR, they are above average shots and have heard good things about most of the others from those in the know. I have only read that you are any good from your posts. You are coming across as a little elitist on the subject, which is fine but maybe a reason the thread has not been added too by others.

Trust me he can shoot and there's a couple of others on here know this as well
Get back on track guys

Id be lucky if i spent 40 a week on piss i get most given to me anyway, i dont really see the point in shooting lots when you are happy an know your gear i shoot steel also with friends an to confirm an to try an push it a little but i wouldnt try to shoot animals that far as i know my limits an there can be few things to go against you, an putting a second round in something 700+ is not idea

wait time the middle of month an me an your mate baldbob will put you up a wee vid

And the rest of us cant? Oh, sorry you need a mention in a magazine or some other random endorsing you. Sorry.

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

Id appreciate that Tui_man2 cheers

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

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

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

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
