Hey team,

Is there a "Toby shoot" this year? I was excited to to come last year, but even if it wasn't canceled I would have been stuck in Northland. We were allowed to leave, just not go into, out of, or through Auckland.

Happy to help out in any way.

Thanks Lars

Sadly I can't see there being an "open forum community" shoot in the near future, with all the new range restrictions, HnS & firearms security BS of the current times, it's just become more hassle'n'trouble than it's worth & although ( dare I say it ) C19 did play the main part in the last TB shoot being cancelled there was not the vibe, enthusiasm or numbers of the past


Personally for now I think the "Toby Shoot" is on hold, I would love to have another gong & competition shoot ( there are some great trophies to be won & treasured - plus a couple of new ones ) so hopefully once all this shit cools down we can get some momentum again & bring back the fizz & excitement of the first three.


For now I see it as a great excuse for people to just have a "forum" get together ( no range shooting ) but maybe just a woolshed or beach - bonfire type night out, I've been to a few forum type events like this & they're a great way to catch up - meet members, Pengies mid winter Xmas eco lodge parties are an awesome night, We need to do more of these, they don't have to be enormous events but are great for people to get out & socialize with other like minded & "different" types lol






PS - As stated previously, I will be sorting an online auction shortly, have had some generous offers from members for items & experiences to put up, I just need to sort my shit out & get it done - life seems to be getting in the way ( well mostly work )
