oh hell
Yippee - Scrumpy hands!!! I'll get practicing and you know @Happy always brings the gaffer tape...
I have booked a double room, so anyone that is coming along that wants to bunk down can share my room. I am a Toby shoot virgin so you have to be gentle with me.
PM me to book the spare bed, and I will work out the details.
We will have an official "Cock of the day" award this year, I'll post up a photo once it's finished.
You'll have tough competition if Angus turns up again Gadget hahahaha
Or @Pengy ;)
Hi Brads. How do we enter for this shoot? Sounds like a lot of fun.
Me and my shooting buddy, Jotan (currently awaiting approval for forum membership) would like to join you guys if possible?
All booked at Pukeora for this years event...
That's 3 more confirmed and paid @30calterry @Happy and me...
Same layout as last time @BRADS ?? should be great fun and great to see everyone's mugs again...
Work leave granted and accom. paid for

I'll go out on a limb and say go for it. Book your accommodation and leave. The shoot is low cost this year i.e. no entry fee but please if you can (and I do stress if you can) come prepared to buy an auctioned item or even donate one if you can. Does not need to be a big ticket item, it all adds up and us broke fullas need something to bid on too :) There will be a small fee on top of the meals at Pukeora (unless you choose to eat away from the crew) of around $10 and that's to cover lunch at BRADS farm on the Saturday.
All that aside we look forward to meeting you and your buddy :thumbsup: I'm sure you will enjoy it. There's plenty of characters there to keep us all entertained :)
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.
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

Done, will drag @kiwi39 along as usual :thumbsup:
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

Thanks Philipo. Me and Jotan will be joining you then. Cant wait.
@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 :thumbsup:
offer is open to any of the other attendees.
@Gibo, some people are beyond any help :P
I have one more stock made by young Tobes if you want to use it as another trophy?
Yes we might take you up on that offer Maca unless someone has another option
At this stage the consensus is that we have 4 trophies, they being
*300 free standing ball bag stock trophy - as per normal
*2000 big boys TG trophy - as per normal
* The SAS shot consistency trophy - I like the idea of having a set of targets at say 350-450 yards that vary from large to small and all must be hit to progress ( this would be great for people with varmint calibers etc )
* A new trophy , More for average Joe with a average Joe set up, say from 800 - 1200 yards ( This can be worked out later )
Our idea for the 2000 & 800-1200 comp is that you can only enter one but not both, I think that gives each trophy it's own identity & style.
I realise that these comps can soak up a bit of time, but if run efficiently well get through em pretty quickly & they're lot of fun to shoot in & watch.
PS - & after the disgusting rantings of a certain member in the National Shooting Comp thread this arvo, I'm bloody intent on making this an awesome event to participate in, chur
Thoughts & input please
