PHASA field shoots?
I recall seeing some clips/Youtubes of some wonderful big-bore get-togethers sponsored I think by PHASA where they shoot a course of field targets including running and moving toward the hunter. I can't seem to find them on Youtube.
I'd like to gather a few for review by staff at our local shooting range to see about coming up with some similar scenarios.
Thanks if anyone can help.

I am still in New Mexico, I'd like to play.

I might have my 416 done by then.

Are you referencing the BASA shoots?

Brandon, that must have been it.

Bill,
My PH in 2017 (Jono Joseph) shot the circuit there quite successfully with his 470NE Blaser. I had the chance to go see a match on the last day of my hunt with them, but we chose to go to the Kruger instead. Kind of wish I had gone to the shoot and shot the course in hindsight.

Brandon, I am looking for some longer clips of the BASA shoots. I could swear there were some posted here or maybe in the big-bore forum.
I agree it would have been great fun to shoot or even watch a match.

Thanks fellas. That's what I was looking for. Great way to pass a little time.
I was surprised that so many bolt gunners take the gun off the shoulder and lower it to work the bolt and then remount. What a lot of wasted time compared to the double riflemen.

Also, the number of bolt actions either short stroked or jammed when being cycled after shot 1.
I'm sure that never happens with Blasers !! Eeker stir


Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing.

Was also surprised at bolt gunners delicately using thumb and forefinger to cycle bolts rather than flat of the trigger hand...

Tim, yes, it would seem these fellas need to watch a good Brit run a Lee Enfield in a Mad Minute.
