Events for improving hunting skills?

[lowndsie]

Can anyone recommend which comp/events are likely to be most beneficial for improving hunting accuracy? In the Sydney areas if possible..

Cheers.

Most likely to be "Silly Wets" i would think?

Rifle Metallic Silhouette shooting that would be..
Try SSAA Sydney?

Air rifle, Rim fire and Center fire all offered.

[lowndsie]

Cheers Mick. Will look into it

While Field Target is air rifle specific it requires different shooting positions so good for muscle memory when out in the field.

SSAA rimfire and centrefire field rifle disciplines also will improve typical bush shooting skills.

ie rapid fire, off hand, standing and sitting post etc.

rimfire r/f and o/h are shot at 25 yards/metres.
st/post and sit/post at 50 yards/metres.

centrefire r/f -25 yards
o/hand 50 yards

stand post -100 yards
sit post - 200 yards

all good fun, with the added bonus of confirming or indicating the need to improve rifle accuracy or shooter skills.

Yep, what Dave said. If I can tear myself away from Bathurst, I will shoot the rimfire match on Sunday......... dunno though!

Any and all. More trigger time, the better. More trigger time away from a bench, double bonus!!

Yep what they said. I used to shoot field rifle up in Brissie loved it' and also metallic silly wet great for practicing off hand shooting. Center fire silly wet is even more challenging and rewarding when you knock em down

Curan where in Bathurst do you live I'm 50 kms South. Be in on Saturday to shoot f class in town

Sometime shooter, I think Curan was talking about tearing himself away from watching the race on telly. He lives in South Australia, or should I say "Exists"

I'll step outside the box here and add that if the targets are medium size and have a tendency to run away then sporting clays would help.

Cheers,

yeah , Camel is right about Bathurst being the car race. As far as his other comment re existing rather than loving, well let's just say his neck of the woods can't boast for much, either!

Red bit......... Spell check mate, or are you that desperate. Plenty of free loving up this neck of the woods. Just ask my dogs.
