Interesting momento from this weekend....

I hurt my left shoulder about 2 months ago, had some acupuncture for it, but never quite came right. Seems like I needed a bit of recoil therapy, all good...

I am starting to see a theme develop here. This year we suddenly had a flock of double rifles appear - no doubt because of the lion stage last year :)

Might have to have a couple of brainstorming...

That 3rd last photo :D:D:D

Trust the dude with the 416 Rigby to have a pink balloon clamped between his thighs :P

7mmwsm, as long as I am measuring bore rather than muzzle energy your rifle will easily qualify. Marty's gun sounded suspiciously like a mouse fart, so he might have some problems at scrutineering...

Fun day, tx for making it easy to run the event guys. And a huge thank you to BRADS and Mel for their hospitality, Rushy for his BBQing efforts, and John L for sharing RO duties.

It is...

Same here, I'll be up there after lunch to do some stage setup.

Safe travels :thumbsup:

Only of the caliber you intend to shoot is inversely proportional to the wimpyness of the car :thumbsup:

The "charging lion" looks like quite a friendly chap :P Maybe I should give him a couple of red teeth...

Pitch a tent in the paddock next to the woolshed and you should be ok :D

Long range forecast for OngaOnga looking good.

Will send out directions to the shoot venue shortly.

Roll on the weekend :thumbsup:

Haha, Maca49 you planning on using a caliber per stage ?

What is the cartridge with shoulder halfway down the length ? I know of at least one Cape gun being used next weekend :thumbsup:

Oh,...

Haha, that's awesome, how many grains for the projectile on the right ?

Ok guys, barring any further locksdowns etc, we are go for 24 Oct.

The idea is that this is a day for "heavy artillery", the rifles that sit in the back of the safe and only see the light of day...

Yup, either would be acceptable :D

Hey boys, quick update from my side.

Heading up to the farm this weekend to have a look at the range layout and sort out arrangements with D.

Should be in a position to start opening up entries...

Bring the Rigby, that will add some flavour to the mix :thumbsup:

Need to find someone with a 404 Jeffery :)

Rushy, whatever you do, DO NOT accept offers from duckdog to shoot the mental rifle he brought last year.

It might not have had the largest bore, but I have never seen anything with such brutal...

Woody, it is primarily meant for large calibers. Those rifles that remain hidden in dark corners of the safe, only to come out once a year :D

As with last year, you are welcome to attend with a...

More than welcome Rushy, be great to see you. I am happy to load some extra for you. Told D I had some "nosebleed" rounds left for him, haha

Similar to last year.

20 rounds

+/-5 stages

Balloons, Shooting Sticks, Jungle Lane, Long Distance (200m haha), Charging Lion

Most shots will be in the 25 to 75m range, so open sights...

Guys and girls, we have very kindly been offered a venue for the event.

Just off the SH50, near Ongaonga (Waipukurau in the Hawke's Bay). Some of you may know the good bugger :thumbsup:
