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

Ok? How do you do LR for a job and your life unless you are military? There is only handful that can attest to that. Seriously, I am curious.

News for you ELb. There is NO such thing as a senior sniper instructor in NZ. And if anyone has told you that, they are most likely a wannabe pouge idiot that has never dawned a gillies suit.
Pm me the persons name please. I will confirm this further in minutes.
Also the day he beat you at GSlinger? Seriously? were you 2 the only 2 there?

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

.................................................. ...................its ok dave ill own up mate its me iv been hiding this all along but now i have the burden off my back i feel free

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 .

Sorry R93 I may have got that wrong and actually only seen Andy with a bald Ken Doll dressed in cammies --- I dont know youll have to PM him -he must have been very senior though cause Andyanimal beat me good and proper and my egos so big and unmatch by my inability there was no way I thought I could have lost

I am not interested as I know it is shit. There are only 3 units that employ these men in NZ. Courses and continuation trg are run at unit level. There is the School Of Infantry in Waiouru that used/maybe still does run cses. The best man they have there, is now a civilian.

I won a duckshooters sporting clay shoot once, can we start a thread so I can keep dropping this in?

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

R93 Im sorry I couldnt help that ! Give me a high 5

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.
