That's the largest shoot I've been to so far in NZ as well as a PB for me (1220m). My mate also had a ball and plans on getting into the sport, so cheers guys

Bloody fantastic turnout. Got to meet the South Island contingent after years of wanting to and it isn't true about the four thumbs at all. Brads you are a good prick by anyone's measure and you and your missus are fantastic hosts. It was a pleasure and a privilege to share the weekend with you all. When I told my family about the auction, my daughter wept at the the generosity. What we have started will develop into something bigger than all of us. I will certainly be there next year.

Sounds bloody fantasic folk.

Well worth the effort from canterbury . Thanks for the generous hospitality brads & Mel , and all the rest of you lot that made this a most memorable weekend . Hope to make the pilgrimage next year

wow! what a weekend.
I have had my power nap so good to go!
an outstanding weekend with unbelievably generous hosts a great bunch of people with some excellent shooting thrown in for good measure.
I was feeling a tad inadequate with my 6.5 and .22 though with some very nice kit been put to use on the range.
I betcha Toby got a smile on his dial that's for sure.
there not much more I can say as there has been a heap of praise already for whole weekend.
I'm already looking forward to next year with the trg in full song with its new barrel.
so thanks again to the people that made this weekend possible.
you know who you are!
cheers Andy

Great weekend, @Rushy , great work cooking @P38 , great work on the range @Alonzo , cheers for the ride, generosity and great shooting hitting the 2K gong twice in a row. @phillipo , great work with the auctioning and general entertainment @veitnamcam @300_BLKout @carpdiem @kiwi39 and many more for the good company.

And of course @BRADS and his lovely boss Mel, they're absolute legends and not enough can be said to thank them enough, this never would've happened without you two.

Only took a few pics so here they are.

Holy fuck theres half a face in that fire

You don't think he would of missed it do you ?

As a new member to the site, I had only read a few posts regarding the shoot. Having now just finished reading the last 6-8 pages of this thread all I can say is, WOW, what an amazing bunch of people you lot are. And Toby, you sure must have been an amazing fellow to elicit this much respect from a group such as this.
I take my hat off to each and all for coming together like this to celebrate person in such a fitting manner.
well done to all.
and RIP Toby.

Absolutely amazing event and I was very privileged to be part of it. Great opportunity to put faces to names to forum handles, chat, talk shit and learn heaps. I didn't get to meet everyone so will simply have to do it again next year to sort out a few connections.

Massive thanks to the crew that put all this together. @BRADS and mel for the set up and hosting; incredible effort. @Rushy for the words and big cooking efforts. @phillipo; and @Gibo and the range officers and everyone else that pitched in.

Big thanks to @kiwi39 for coaching and spotting for @TimeRider who owned me in the shooting department. I need to work on her diplomacy skills for next year, ie don't beat your old man by so much next time.
