Riding on the success of the Monthly Hunting Rifle Shoot at PRGC
and Big Bore shoots at other clubs (pics below)
And my sudden interest in Big Bore Rifles
Help needed to make targets and get it started!

First, lets define "Big Bore"
This is a shoot for classic African rifles.
The rifles the British sportsman of the past used to hunt Africa and India and other parts of the empire.
 
I think .366/9.3 is about the minimum, others might start at .375 H&H or .400 Nitro
This is not for classic american big bores like the Sharps, there are other shoots for those.
And its not for pistol caliber rifles, that lever action in .45 LC is NOT an elephant gun!
Nor is it for .416 Cheytac or .338 Lapua or .50 BMG, big bores sure, but not what I had in mind.
We might allow the larger elk calibers, like .338 Win Mag just to expand the pool of available shooters....
Bolt actions, single shots and doubles in the big British Nitro Express calibers, THAT's what this shoot is for!

So, for anyone looking for an excuse to buy that Remington, CZ or Ruger .375 or .416, or a .458 Win Mag,
or something bigger...

Here're some videos from such a shoot in south africa:
