Motanau 3 Gun

[Regan Courtney]

Hi Team, just wanted to say a big thanks to all involved in setting up the three gun at Motunau last weekend. It was my first time at 3 gun, first time at Mot and it was the South Island Champs.......no pressure!

I had a blast (literally and figuratively!) and will definitely be back again. Cheers to Tom for giving me a couch for the night and all those CHCH Pistol club members for taking out most of the trophies! "O" for awesome, Regs

Cheers

Hi all,

First of all I would like to thank the Kerry & Jayson Prenter for the use of their property for this years 3 Gun South Island Champs.

Special thanks to thank Sean & Rhonda (and the kids), Gavin & Colleen, Tom & Margaret, Chris & Donna, Mike S and Mike G for all the hard work behind the scenes setting up and preparing all that was needed for the event. 


I would also like to thank the squad leaders for all their efforts to keep their squads moving throughout the weekend.

It was a great weekend, with 36 competitors taking part. There were a variety of stages over the three disciplines that where both fun and challenging. 

The only downside to the weekend was the limited daylight hours we had available to shoot with and the weather on Sunday   

Lying in the mud while its pouring with rain and trying to hit a grayish target at 200 meters was a challenge for all. 

Again thank-you for all who helped make the event a success. 


We are looking forward to hosting the event again next year, but probably a couple of months earlier to ensure that we get the best possible weather conditions and make the most of daylight savings.

Aaron

Howdy  Folks
great to see yer had a good shoot over the weekend   ,yea it's always a bummer  on rural  ranges with the weather  i kinda wondered how  things were going as it poured down  here on the sunday ..
great to see a lot of CPC names  showing up in the placeings 

fully agree with you aaron  about being earlyer   most times (not always )  the weather is better and   longer days  help out a lot   even if  it's  for setting up  stages  for the next day   also  a lot nicer   standing around a BBQ  haveing a yarn on a warm night    ..

ya also right  for the support   needed to run a shoot   a lot  of the shooters never see that side of it    it sounds like yer had a good crew helping out in a lot of areas 

catch ya
