onehole Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Ere what hav egot to do to get one of them certs boys???do you have to be a member prior to acheiving or what,please advise.I could add it to me CV if i ever decide to get a job again????cheers and well done all you 500yarders.Onehole.

6mmBR Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 You have to be a member prior to achieving the distance, also the shot has to be witnessed by another VHA member, it just can't be anybody. Thats why the goal of Rays trip was to get into the 500 yard club as both Andy and I are members so can witness the shot. Like you I achieved shots over 500 yards before but they were witnessed by non members. Cheers Dave ps it's worth joining for the excellent magazine.

varminter Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Thanks as always for the replies guys!!!! As Dave says its a excellent magazine to read and is well worth the money - its a quaterely magazine and makes our shooting magazines look pale in comparison!!! , but in saying that we have our own varminting magazine right here with UKVarminting!! 308 Panther , No need to apoligise mate sorry to hear you have so much work that you are not having the time to get out!!! As for subscription for the Varmint Hunter Magazine , i just subscribe online each year - makes it much more afordable!!! Must thank Dave and Andy again fro a great time , like Dave says - our mission was to get into the official 500yd club and it was a cracking start when Dave had his 631yd crow- both witnessed by Andy and myself who are members!!! And was great that the next day i got into the " club " with me 501yd bunnie!!! , theres one thing for sure - if did not happen at the start of the week then towards the end we would of totally blown the 500yd club with the fantastic outing we had on the cliffs!!! Thanks again and all the best.................. RAY............................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfox Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 What are the presents mentioned on the cert, did you have to give or receive presents as part of the ceremony? , bit like the glass beads we handed out in the good old days? . Well done lads and now what, the 600yd or more ? Maybe there shoud be a UK Varminting cert. Redfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
