    Greetings, Some tend to forget that the more established cartridges do not become less effective when some new and often over hyped upstart arrives on the scene. If anything they become better with...

    The Hastings Deerstalkers club had something like that. 300 yards prone with a day pack rest, 200 yards sitting and 100 yards standing. We may have used the Wilkinson Shoot deer target. The old Roy's...

    Greeting hebe, That was a blast from the past. I used to go into that area a lot around 40 years ago. Aranga Hut does not look as though it has been painted since. I believe it is outside the Park....
