Must have been to think he could keep his brakes on

It was certainly a bloody good weekend on all fronts. Finally met a whole bunch of fellas ive wanted to meet for a fair while. Good times just hanging out with good mates and new mates. Getting to shoot further than i have before, and seeing plenty of others with more skills/experience than me in action with their cool big toys. I even got to have a burn on a 338 Norma mag on the 1,340 gong, and Greg's 50 cal too. Awesome stuff!

The whole weekend was so well organised and it run perfectly, the hosts @BRADS and his wife Mel were truly fantastic and really made us all feel welcome on their property. From what i saw everyone was very safe and well behaved during the day and night ;-)

I could not think of a better, more fitting tribute and memorial to our mate Toby, he surely would have loved it! And I bet he'd be pissing himself that a .270 could have possibly raised so much money.

Thanks so much to everyone who helped dream-up, plan, organise and run the event - It was a credit to you all. For those of you that missed it, make sure you make it happen next year, too good to miss twice!

I didnt get much video of the weekend, but did manage to capture a shot on the 1,075 yard gong that i was proud of (my new PB).

I bet a certain driver was "happy" a blue ford ranger wasn't already parked at the top of the hill at that stage !

Nice shot

Cheers for an AWESOME weekend team. Very well run, and executed on all counts.the hosts @BRADS and his wife Mel were just fantastic! And all the good friends / new people met. Look forward to future events just like it!

First off, thanks everybody who worked behind the scenes

Second, thanks Mel and Brads for allowing so many new people onto your property – its lovely!

Third, everyone who pitched in with the food. Saturday morning I had bacon on toast – mmm, delicious

Fourth, everyone. All the ROs. Everyone being safe at the range. @kiwi39 for helping me hit targets as far away as 585 yards! @Philipo – for the hat.
Should I mention dad for getting us there?
I very much enjoyed hearing some different accents, and meeting others. Sorry for being so quiet, I’m hideously shy and awkward. While teachers at my High school wished everyone else would talk less, I was the complete opposite! Argh!

I doubt I’ve done justice to this post, I wasn’t sure what to write, but at least it’s something. And sorry, no pictures – never took any.

I got rather frustrated neck shooting the shit out of one of them as I thought a shoulder shot wasn't much of a challenge, and not getting a ringing sound back, was about to throw my rifle down the bank

That is understandable. It is a 270 variant.

GM, you got owned, by a girl, with a 243....

I think you should sit out the 270 bashing maybe?
