STOLEN!!! One box containg a 42" high auto reset popper (the round is 12"), and one box containing 12 Caldwell stands and backers (23"x23") was stolen from the garage of my Wellington residence on Tuesday 20 July. A Police report has been raised. I'm the only one with these auto reset poppers in New Zealand. Please contact me if you see these on Trade Me or on someones property. Welcome. July 2010. The last Gunslinger PLRS event was held over the weekend of Friday 9 July, Saturday 10 July, and Sunday morning 11 July (2010), down at Lake Tekapo. Fantastic weather held for all days, and the 24 shooters, four ROs, and several non-shooting spotters had a great time. Several shooters achieved 1600m hits on the Practice Day! A Match Report with full details and scores is below. Particular thanks to Gun City, and those that donated prizes: Belmont Ammunition, New Zealand Guns and Hunting magazine, Dead Eye Dicks, and Stark Bros. Safe shooting.
