??? am I missing something

600 yards with a 308 at an animal is to long for me. At that distance you really need to be practicing a lot to be consitently hitting where you want to. Long range competition shooting in a blustery...

I find a 10x fixed is too much if hunting in bush, ok for tops

I am probably more likely to get lynched here if I support the gun law changes, which I do by the way

Ive got the small Hornady one and I find it works ok, have to re-zero it sometimes if it drifts. I use a powder thrower set to throw approx .3 under and then use the scale and a manual trickler to...

I target shoot out to a 1000 y with a scope that goes to 60x, it generally only goes to 30x-40x. I hunt with a fixed 6x and I would be comfortable target shooting out to 6-800y with it.

really, 50 people died

My wife will be dealing with the shitty fallout at work for months

My father was a vet and would advise farmers to put down cattle (if needed) using a 22lr and the x aimpoint, but very close range and aiming square onto the head

What a fuckwit. The club range I shoot at is there from the good graces of the farmer. He is not connected to the club so it is very generous of him to allow the club to operate there. So only...

Tasco 3-9 something or other. It was rubbish and zero would wonder all over the place. Shooters supplies sent it away to get fixed (for nothing which was pretty good for a cheap scope), but have...

are you sighting in at 1000 or checking ballistics out to 1000?

I have climbed Mt Cook and I didnt see anything up there, just a few dickheads taking selfies :cool:

The target density for Tahr in Mt Cook and Westland NP is zero, so not much of a surprise

this is worse than the last job interview I went to

My father was a vet and he caught it, I was too young to remember much but it did knock him around quite a bit

I think I have said this somewhere else but cant remember where, I have made a pretty good living out of my degrees over the years

There is also one in Whitecliffs.

If you never get into the backcountry there are a few farms around where you can see tahr, including one in Twizel right next to a public walking track on the outskirts of town. Probably farm bred as...

When you get out to longer distances its impossible to range distance by eye. 800 yards looks the same as 900 yards on the range, ballistically it makes a big difference.

I can judge reasonably...

The draft Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park Management Plan has been released for submissions. This includes Tahr management in the park. If you have concerns about what is being proposed, you should...

I started reading some of his lessons, I got through the one on the 6.5x55 but lost interest in the others as they are very wordy and I have a short attention span, and they tend toward preaching. I...

I usually get it wrong

Im with Gibo. I start at ADI max load, if it shoots good thats it.

The first shot with a new (max) load I point at the ground at arms length, keep my head well back and pull the trigger. Then I...

ouch at least she didnt suffer

I think John Wayne owned a few, not sure if they were out of the movie

John m is the first one a shotgun, the last one is a buettty
