    The Te Puke club has asserted itself very well at the National competition at Trentham over the past week. I think Mike Collings has won the Ballinger Belt aggregate 300 thru 1000yards with apeture sight 308 win and 155.5 grain bullets, and four members in the top 18. Scott McClay has won the F Open class over same ranges. What a great showing by this awesome little club. Congrats to the men and women members who contested this world renowned shooting competition.

    Here is a link to NZ NRA and the history of The Ballinger Belt. Take a look down the list of past winners; it makes interesting reading. This is a meaningful part of our NZ heritage.
    (Hopefully the woke whingers will not complain to the mods about this wee bit of patriotism)

    Well he easily won the qualifying. Sorry Scotty, couldn't help myself..

    Totally agree about the Club itself- a star performer in recruitment and supporting each other.

    Assuming you mean "TR" coaches, couldn't agree more but your wind reading skills are still very important no matter what class you shoot in. BC will only save you so far..

    We had a great turn out.... especially for an AGM when everyone usually runs for cover.
    Hunter class this season is going to be very interesting, a lot of the folk shooting this class have gotten seriously dialled in. Same in FTR classic with a good number being built up and also dusted off.

    For those that dont know, hunter class is your off the shelf scoped rifle in most any caliber within the power limits. FTR classic is .308 or .223 shot with a scope over a bipod without the need to use aperture sights (TR)
    Even with the AGM running on a bit we managed a good number of details at 300 yds, my shoulder is telling me I shot in 4 details looking forward to using basically a hunting rifle in FTR this season. ( Dirty old 700 Rem but in a chassis)

    Anyone wanting to shoot out to 600 yds on electronic targets have a look at our FB page for details or you can PM me here.
