Thread: 2019 Toby Goodley Memorial shoot

Is there an account we can flick some money in early so that the organizers don’t have to front up with their own money first

Looks like it's time for me to start looking for a legal rifle or two to bring along, I don't trust my ability to throw the rounds downrange by hand.

Date is Saturday 19th October.
Usual great range with 40 gongs from 150-2000m

Definitely keen to join in if that is still possible.

Once you book accommodation, do we need to register for the actual shoot as well?

Reason for asking - do not want to end up with accommodation booked and paid if there is a limit of the number of shooters.

No limit on shooters
No charge for shooting
Mel and I will be buying everyone lunch and there will be a hat there to cover that cost.
Cheers

Make sure he has all his gear......

Booked accommodation early on. Will probably drive up from Canterbury all going to plan. Looking forward to the 'shoot of the year'

Hey everyone, as I said before seems I've kinda ended up with the organizing duties this year, shit there's nothing worse than a bossy gnome lol

However - I thought I'd just touch base with how things are going


I & Brads have received some PM's re the shoot so just to clear a couple of things up & go over things again, focused more at those that haven't attended before just read through the whole thread, the details are there but here's some det's

* This year there is no compulsory attendance fee, With the accommodation fees etc we have decided to scrub all that shit, We're not into milking people for money ( it's expensive enough already ) but a donation would be appreciated, weather that is supplying or buying something from the auction.


* With out sounding like a Nazi, All happy, positive & responsible Forum members are welcome, you can come to only the shoot if you like but there will be a "hat" donation to cover targets & lunch. exact location details will be provided closer to the date.

* Only the shoot is a Brads ( aka Duncan & Mel's ) farm, they have invited us to use the range & that's it ! There will be a sign in book & everyone who comes to the range needs to sign in.

* Lunch will be provided on Saturday for all attending the range shoot ( this in nothing to do with Duncan or Mel ) it is being paid for by another very generous forum member, please don't take advantage of the hospitality.

* We will have a pre-safety briefing & the range will be patrolled by designated range officers, please use common sense & listen to instructions.

* The morning will be a free for all gong shoot, there will be a separate 100y sight in range available with a range officer for the first hour in case you need to check your zero.

* It's a "down the line" shoot, so there will be an area for braked & suppressed rifles

* We will have the trophy comp after lunch, these will include the freestanding 300, consistency & 2000y big boy comp, but we are working on a "hunting rifle" trophy that will be a little more realistic for average Joe blow but still reward good shooting.

* The range will be closed at 4:30

* Prize giving, dinner & the auction will be head at Pukeora, just to be clear You don't have to stay there but that's our base so please book a meal with them. There are other options in Waipuk to stay at or maybe even a forum member who will host you. But beware we do not support drinking & driving so make sure you have a get home plan please

* Re the auction - I will have a mix of things on offer & will sort with admin to have a bank account available for funds raised.

* Partners are more than welcome, Main thing is come, have fun, talk to people & enjoy your weekend.

Sorry forgot to add - Any suggestions on things to improve etc are much appreciated

The base TGS attendees have my number or are on FB messenger, just flick me a holla

@2post, just ask one of the boys to point you in my direction, and I'll be happy to help you shoot a wee bit further than you've done in the past

offer is open to any of the other attendees.
