We've had a lazy day today after the @taranakilong We've had a lazy day today after the @taranakilongrangeshootingnz Winter Blast, but it's time to unpack the truck and hose the mud off our wet weather gear. Staying dry and warm as possible over the course of a 6 hour match makes a massive difference to morale and performance
A challenging course of fire at the @taranakilongr A challenging course of fire at the @taranakilongrangeshootingnz Winter Blast 2022 match. Almost no wind, but constant rain increased the difficulty level with low visibility, position instability and general fatigue towards the end of the day. Lots of foliage and devious prop placement made for some interesting problem solving under time.
Thanks to Mark from @precision_unloaded_podcast for hosting and match directing, and incidentally pulling off a ridiculous shot to win a $100 bet with Open Class winner @comp_shooter_nz.

My performance for the day was okay, a strong start, but a couple average stages pulled me down the ranks. Fifth place finish in Practical, with very tight points between myself and 4th. First and 2nd place were in a league of their own, congratulations to @itsalongshotnz for taking out the trophy.
Fortunately I got a chance to sight in and make some adjustments the day before thanks to @tuckerbox_adventures, so the rifle was on point, and the rest was down to me.

@mizz_gunrack shot really well with her shorty 308 to take 2nd place in Hunter class, narrowly missing out on back-to-back Winter Blast wins.

The bright orange bag in the photos is the Tactical Grapefruit,  currently in R&D phase with @sabre_tactical. It ran really well on the day, and I'm looking forward to getting these into production.

How often do you anneal your brass? I have some once fired, and some twice fired

Sometimes match directors like to mess with your sense of intuition and a spot that looks good and supportive turns out to be slippery and uncomfortable. Oftentimes the simplest position is the best

Thanks to all the competitors who looked at the fo Thanks to all the competitors who looked at the forecast this morning and said "screw it, let's go shoot". We were incredibly close to shutting down the match with the storm, but thankfully we got some reprieve in the afternoon. Scores will be out tomorrow and official photos will be emailed out in a couple weeks after editing, etc
9 Lives weather update! It will be wet. It will be 9 Lives weather update! It will be wet. It will be windy. If it's like today, it will ease off around lunchtime. There will be a hot meal at the end of the day. Make sure you:
* Drive safely - allow enough time to get there
* Bring wet weather layers (start your day in them)
* Bring a towel and a change of clothes for your drive home
* Bring scope caps / covers and plenty of lens cloths!!!
