6mmBR Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Do you think lads we should have our own 500 yard club. There's quite a few of us on here have acheived it and a lot more are aspiring to it. Long range pest shooting seems to be coming more popular with members on here, so what about a "hall of fame" Maybe a permanent sticky on here listing members acheivements and a small write up. What do you lads think and one for the moderators to mull over? Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemasis243 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Good call Dave as you said there are a lot of people aiming for the 500, I think it would be good and wood generate another section to the site in the form of a picture hall of fame maybe? But I think people with a 6ppc-shooting 58grn Vax may struggle to make it I surpose it would have to done similar to the American Varmint Hunters in the fact that the shot will have to be witnessed by a member or two. But sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 It was just an idea as posts roll off with time, just to have a permanent record of interesting shots. A section or making it a sticky would be good. As some one said we could have shot of the year and for fun the easiest shot missed I don't know, ideas are welcome then perhaps one of the moderators could sort out a permanent section. Cheers for the replies so far keep the ideas coming in. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6mmBR Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'm glad to see everyone is up for it, but any suggestions of what you want would be handy. So moderators is it possible to have a section opened up? Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermincinerator Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'm all for it guys, now that i have a good load for my 22-250 AI i hope to achieve that goal soon. I think a system of validation is needed along the lines of submission to a nominated 500yd secretary, a signed witness statement, a photo of the shooter with the deceased varmint, holding a card stating the distance and date. What do you guys think of that idea? Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
