We had a fabulous day at the range again on the 12th of Feb testing out gear and mettle against a challenging range.

We had 100 participants for the day.

Our score areas are smaller than real life on the targets and the only reason is for us to improve as hunters.

Avg score for the day was 8 out of possible 17 hits, score runs on formula of energy hits and time. So that a 9.3x62 can compete with a large calibre 500NE and sorts.

Range 1 Buffalo range
Start at point A at whistle load two rounds and shoot at broadside buffalo two heart shots.
Move to point B load 3 rounds fire at frontal buffalo 2 x heart shots and one brain.
Move to point C load one and make sure to shoot the bull brain shot.

Shooter used his 450 NE

Range 1 again with left hand shooter using right handed 458 win mag.

Range 2 Hippo range
Start at whistle load two rounds and shoot one shot brain and one shot heart on left facing hippo.
Move to point B load one roound and shoot brain at left facing hippo again.
Move to point C load two shoot brain shot at charging hippo in water at the shot the hippo will charge for the second brain shot.
Then one go down on one knee and shoot static hippo closest to you another brain shot.

My son of 17 years handling my 375 H&H very well with full loads of 300gr bullets.

Range 3 fun range
Load 5 rounds if you can and move back to sprint at whistle to your rifle and start shooting two rounds at black twister.
Then one round at clay over Hyena.
Then one shot at clay over steenbuck
Last shot at the cape cobra head.

Good fun for all it was tough but rewarding.

The left handed shooter with the right handed rifle could really work that bolt. Looks like fun.

Yes very impressive lefty shooting with a right handed 458.
