I read the words at the top, Bubba saying "this is me and the GF...."

So I scrolled down to the photos to rest my eyes on the fabled GF, and the first photo is undeniably Bubba. WITH A FELLER!! its true, i thought, he IS queer.........

Scroll down.......

More of bubba and the grey haired feller.. Ah hah!!! he has an "older" friend, he is a toy boy (fkn OLD to be a toy boy) curiouser and curiouser.

Scroll down ........

HELoooooo sexy lady, what are YOU doing with a both-sides-of-the-street feller like Bubba?

No, Not disappointed, relieved, makes MY arse safe, as well as the rest of the forum members with, perhaps, the exception of Jerry.

Paul is able to do this for us at Rallywoods (under his supervision and controlled, strictly no drinking etc ....you get the idea), I'll find out costs and organise an afternoon if you want....(assuming theres enough interest) who's keen :twisted: costs would be for the ammo and claybirds, bookings would be needed and how many shots you want...

maybe have a competition?

Sounds like a good idea Jerry,

Does anyone have a 4/10 we can use. If we can I will let my kids have a few shots as well. A 12 Gauge will be a bit big for them

Even a .22 and a few tin cans

I wouldm't mind helping with the set up etc if others can get the gear.

410 is good, but even a 20G has a low enough recoil for kids, Rod,

2nd in Otago highschools
3rd in Otago/Soutland highschools
4th equal in south island highschools. :lol:

35 targets, missed one (lost 3 points), had one double barrel.
4 points off a perfect score makes me 4th equal.

Good noisey alternative to golf, but it's only target practise really. :D

went to the worlds for it this year over in ireland, i had a 3rd 4th and 5th in the preworlds and a complete mare in the worlds them selves. a young guy (21) name colin waghorn from down south bought the world tile home for us, he shot 898/900 (300 targets shot on the pointscore system 3 points for hit with the 1st shot 2 for a hit with the second and none for a complete miss)

i my self have taken out almost every trophy avalaible to high school shooting in the south island over the years while i was there along with a couple of national titles at open level.

its a good sport teaches gun safety correct handling every thing like that, just wish there was more follow of it in our media over here (help take away the bad image guns have)

Ha Ha, the Cameron Maxwell, I didn't click as to who 2roky was , I have seen you around the Traps and will next time say Hi. You talk about your speed of steel shot , I am sure you meant slower, next time you are talking to Barry Foster ( HULL CARTRIDGES ) my best mate, ask him about some game loads ( Steel ) he has got some that are as quick as lead. If you are not using HULL already, you had better get started :wink: .

nope for steel i mean quicker. the hull steel that i used is doing 1450-1600 cant remember the exact figures, the lead is doing 1400 max unless your using the hull fitasc (soverign line with is fair moving for lead think its around the 1500 mark) and yeh i have been using hull, gone to game bore for the 1st barrel though, get a better pattern with it that the hull, and yeh i know barry can normally be found hanging out round his display tent when he's got it at any of the shoots, more so now that stager sports has started to come along (i got me blaser through stager) i just hang out there and if someone asks what eithers like just give them the good news lol
