I didn't want to clutter up the other thread but I thought that shoot was just awesome. I watched Frederik's video about a dozen times and the pictures as well. I was amazed at how well the range was set up and organized. It's easy to see all the time and effort spent to make it possible as well as safe. I would like to set up a similar range but on a much smaller scale. I would love to know more about how it was laid out and how the different targets were activated. I appreciate any imput.

daleatkins,

I mostly did the filming and photos. The range was great yes but it has taken the guys a couple of years to get to that level. But fortunately they are busy working on a US chapter and I'm sure by joining the Big Bore association you will get a lot of help from them if needed.

A lot of the people who are members are outfitters and ph's as well and do come over for the big shows every year. So to arrange a big bore shoot like it in the States is not impossible.

You can contact the association at http://www.bigbore.org

PeterV and Katte who are both members of AR as well can be a lot of help. Katte was the prevoius president and PeterV the new president of the association. PeterV I know is currently in Mozambique fishing but on the website you will get a couple more email addresses just keep in mind that everything really slows down over Christmas time here in SA.

Hope you come right thumb

Frederik,

Thanks for your reply.I'm waiting on the return confirmation. I'm sure they were pleased with your video. As they say, worth a thousand words.
