Thread: Toby Goodley Memorial Trophy shoot -October 15/16th

The Trophy has arrived !

Many thanks Rushy, it has travelled well and is perfect.

As per some previous comments there will be a range shoot at Brads farm (central Hawkes bay) every year in October, the 15th and 16th for 2016, held in honour of our very good friend Toby.

All of Toby's friends, family and the good people of this forum are invited



Targets and gongs are provided and can be set up from 200yrds out to 2000yrds in 200yrd increments.

Potential scoring details being discussed are 15 points for a first round hit down to ten points for a fifth round hit, 5 shots per gong, progress to the next gong after its hit.

All chamberings and calibres welcome




Three classes can compete........

200-600yrds

600-1000yrds

1000-2000yrds

Entrants can expect a high level of safety and careful planning to ensure a great day is had by all, expect a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of good natured banter and fun.

There will be an area provided for parking, a safe area for shooting from and a seperate area behind the firing line for socialising

Many many thanks to Brads for offering his property for this event and any volunteering offers can be put up in this thread please.

I volunteer to provide some entertainment with my shooting and help eat Rushys bbq.

Pin a date on it so we can plan a plan

That is bloody cool.

@BRADS i will put my hand up to help with the running of this awesome event where ever you need help

Glad to see it got there in one piece. It would have been there a whole lot sooner if my missus had got her shit together.

I will contest the event with great enthusiasm but from what VC has said I will need to shoot early as apparently I am cooking.

On ya mate. Be good to finally catch up. We could go early and smack a couple of Brads land maggots on the head and rotisserie their arse.

And there will be one for the first loser, I'll post photo once finished, Rushy, Mucko, Brads and I picked up a hand made Toby special from his mum for this!

Mate you have the best part of a year to make up a rig that can work over a bed of hot coals. I wouldn't get to flash because if all else fails we could get Dundee turning the bugger by hand. Keep him stocked with brown and he will go all day long.

Best mount the handle low enough for the smurf.

FFS at least when I fall over its not far to fall

a fitting tribute to an amazing young man. count me in for attending. dont mind manning a BBQ either
and if you need target frames to hang gongs from i have been knocking some together with D12

Is there three classes but one trophy. Which class is the trophy for?
