Bulk 1000yd Benchrest Targets!

Post by a.JR »

Hi all , Any club officials that are involved in 1K Benchrest .. I have been sending new 1K targets to some other clubs from Townsville's stocks to get these guys shoots off the ground , Question what about a bulk purchase from multiple ranges, sent by slow freight to keep the costs down .. Targets are US$1.06 if we collectively bought 500 or so the sea freight would be cheap ,what do ya think.. We will have to get more stocks for next year either way ...JR..Jeff Rogers

Targets are US$1.06 at this price, plus shipping, I'll take 50 for myself. I have a 1000yd practise range in mind, out Cobar way.

Gidday Tony---- Nah--- I visit this property via a club setup, a couple of times a year. At this stage of my life, I fully want to start spending a least a couple of weeks each visit, not just a few days. A few of the club members have expressed interest in the long range shooting disiplines. I had my mate Kenny, accommany me to the last 1000yd shoot and he shot the pants off me with my rifle. Next time I'll load up HIS bullets with "seconds" projectiles

Gidday AJR, thanks for your efforts. If the other 2 guys are attending Canberra during the weekend of March 12th and 13th, maybe you could send them there and we could pick them up that weekend.
