The Coast is just different and unique and we should try and run a shoot there every 2/3 years! Field 3 Imm,I liked F1 (just 'cos it was mine) but I think there were enough targets to satisy all. You would have thought that F2 would have had 10/15, 25's on Saturday but it was not to be. We are going to try and twist their arm to do another one, probably 2013 (HELL!!f we are all alive)

Hopefully you'll hold another two day shoot again next year, we'll be back in a flash! (Even Mr Holmes if he reads his flight itinerary better next time) Targets were an excellent mix, field 3 was my favourite!

Thanks for all the extra effort of lugging those traps around in the mud. It was appreciated. Looking forward to some easy targets in Cromwell.....yeah right! Thanks again guys for a great weekend.

It's on higher ground with no river boundary. The best thing is that the ponds we are shooting over will fill up! Graeme Brown, Steve Gill and I are heading over tomorrow to start setting up some devious targets, the long range forecast is looking pretty good for the weekend. YAY!! We are going to try and set up a bit of practice on Friday arvo but would rather concentrate on the fields if we have 'inclement' weather on Thursday/Friday. I gather it’s fine.

We must have learn't from Wanganui. They have very few members and are hoping to encourage a few 'locals' along and I don't think we should scare them away. There will still be some good competitive targets on Saturday do not worry. We are thinking F1 and F3 will be a bit tougher and the one amongst the native bush will be great for newer shooters! Do not worry to much about the weather, it's not normally that cold; well as cold as Wanganui anyway. That is exactly right, but it is planned, as was the Compak. We must have learn’t from Wanganui.

Yippee, cant wait, just like shooting at Wanganui in September!! Also, I predict that we northerners will probably start with 25/25's and then there will be a spurt of activity by the locals stiffening all the targets up - as happened only just a few weeks ago!! OK, Preparing polar survival suit for travel right now! I’m reliably informed that “Rain showers” in Greymouth is equivilant to having a garden hose pouring over you non stop.

I can guarantee that it won't be raining in Ali's on Saturday night except for shooters tears having been beaten on soft targets!!!
