possible shoot sunshine coast

#1 Post by bigbob » Sun Sep 01, 2013 6:19 pm

Just trying to gauge opinion on possible numbers for a proposed trad shoot at sunshine coast club. As we don't have any vehicle access [walk in] and no camping area it will probably be a one day shoot. As I am still feverishly constructing 3d targets and making trophies, the date is still in the lap of the gods but would imagine it occurring mid to late November, possibly early Dec.How many people would want to travel just for a one day shoot, or conversely be prepared to fork out for accommodation if it was a two day event. Our range is very challenging being situated in rain forest complete with bitey things and crawly things. We have them trained to only attack visitors. :lol: :lol: :wink: Give me some feedback please.

Hi Bob, have you got a map or exact location of the club, so as we can work out how long it will take to get there?
Also any close camping or van parks, for an overnight stay.

I would love to be an expert, but experience and lack of knowledge holds me back!

Hey Big Bob,

I'd be happy to come up to the coast for a shoot - either one day or two - it's only about a one hour drive for me. Also, I'd be happy to find a place to camp in the area if it was a two day shoot.

As for the biteys good old Bushman's works wonders.

Keep us in the loop via OzBow as soon as you have a date so we can plan to attend.

best regards,
Tom
