Those wallabies could have found better place than that to have a sleep :lol:

My original surf had the removable sunroof and worked well until you drove a bit rough and the shooter stood in your lap :shock:

Have you thought about unbolting the glass surf canopy off the back, then you've got heaps of room. Or even then make up a shooting frame to bolt on instead of the canopy or is that what that fellas done :scratch:

yeah I reckon the easiest way to do it is fold the front passenger seat forward and have the dog and the shooter in the back seat!!! pop your head through the sun roof - seems to work piece of piss when we do it.I have roof racks on mine though so it gives the shooter something to hold on to as were bouncing around. - u been out hunting much since i last saw you in chch mate?

I've pulled the top off my MK and shot off the roof, but that is ony good when you want to shoot forwards.

anyway, we shouldn't be talkign about this because it is illegal to carry loaded firearms in cars or to shoot from a moving car

(i definatly have never done something illegal like that :wink:

)

is that platform padded? is it wide enough that you can shoot off a bipod?

Just use a couple of ratchet tie-downs and strap the shooter to the roof :lol:

yeah been out heaps since i moved down to queenstown - got everything here - thar, chamois, reds, fallow, white tail, been a great summer and wintter should be good too when the snow pushes them all down a bit lower - less of a hike too!!

When do they close the lake sumner road for winter? I remeber going up there just before it closed last year heaps of deer and a few chamois up that way too - just keep your eyes peeled and use your binos as much as possible and you should have some luck :wink:
