PeterInteresting videos. I was surprised to see most shooters take the gun off the shoulder and down to the hip almost, when cycling the bolt (and the double for that matter).

juanpozziThe site its very interesting ,but in the video i didnt see a great shooting dexterity ,i always teach to mantain the rifle on shoulder ,besides that you can carry your ammo in a combat pouch but never in your pockets,here in ARGENTINA we have similar matches ,and you must fire in every position even from very low obstacles there you must use the rifle laterally aginst the floor ,a lot of push feeds have problems there ....ill post a photo later.Juan

shakariThe guy setting it up is Pierre Van De Walt who wrote 'Big Bore Cartridge Load Data Collection' is very involved with the Big Bore Association and and organiser of the Shot Show here in SA.
He's also written a great piece about bullets for our
www.shakariconnection.com site. - In English, English, he's a diamond geezer and in American English, he really knows his stuff and is a great guy.
I love his site and reckon it'll do very well indeed and I'd guess that this financial slowdown will actually make the site do better than it might otherwise have done because more people will opt to take part in what he's offering because they might not have the money for a safari.
As I say, I really like the site and I wish him every success with it!

Andrew McLarenSteve,
Yes, Pierre is a great guy.
I also like the site and particularly the concept of Safari Action Shooting. That is one sport that has it's own natural appeal for me. I've registered and already done a bit more than just wish him well!
In good hunting.
