No problem with photos. But there is no mobile coverage there. You might get lucky in some spots but it is not the best. so no updates possible throughout the day... But can update Saturday night if you guys are interested

I am definitely. Sure others will be. Most of us spend plenty of time on the 🎯.

Okay then i shall take my laptop with me and upload some pictures of the days shoot. Not sure how many photos i will be able to take as my main goal will be knocking down targets... Sunday will be better as i am not shooting and will be free to annoy everyone lol Well good news on my part is....Putting my work off till next week and spending the day tinkering with my rifle seems to have done the trick. I have securely fixed the stock to the gun and the hamster is also solidly mounted to the stock. I zeroed my gun in again and i found if i use my reading glasses when range finding it is once again on the mark and my old click chart is accurate once again

What's the weather like up that way.
You may have some challenging conditions tomorrow. So you shooting strait and amped up to kick a bit of butt? I won't say good luck for tomorrow, cause luck ain't got Jack to do with it But keen eye, sweet trigger pulling, and well placed shots to you tomorrow. Here's hoping you whip the competition tomorrow. But I imagine just being there socially and competing is a reward within itself. |

Best of luck because a little luck never hurts.
Unless the weather's too foul I'll come for a look tomorrow. I'm interested to see you people who know what they are doing. I'll be the fat old bastard with my Canon trying not to get in the way. |

Should be fun shooting today. Lowest humidity for Morrisville ( according to web) 75% from 11am to 3pm , 19km to 26km winds through day, 5% chance of rain most of day at .25mm for most hourly sections.
Not extreme but enough to be testing in skills and creating weird wind eddies and directions around trees and objects. Should be a fun day. |

I hope you go well. Are you shooting high power springer or sub 12 ft/lb?
I have shot at Piako and it was a windy day then. Kruz you would enjoy the whole wind judging thing. Hitting a 40 mm killzone at 50 m after holding off for windage is very satisfying when the target drops. That clink of the target is rewarding. I quite like this guys videos on FT. Dispite everyone having their own style, there are good pointers here. https://youtu.be/S-13Xjrap_Q?si=t0zWHD0Yd8pH2Ky- Photos would be great too.
