Bloody cute wee bugger, way out in the middle of nowhere trotting down the road, truck in front of me nearly collected him so I stopped and chased the wee bugger down the road untill he stuffed up and got caught in a bit of wire on the side of the road, found a house, wasn't theirs, told them I didn't have time and could they take him round their neighbors, then off I went again good deed done for the day, literally just drove onto the ferry now, they were preparing to put the ramp up, 10 minutes before sailing, not bad for a dash half way up the south island :)
@Ryan_Songhurst

See you in the morning.
Cheers
Pete

Not the one he was aiming at :D Only took 3 attempts of Gibo and my advanced field gun-smithing efforts to get his rifle shooting in the right direction, haha.
Great event (again). Thanks Brads and Mel, much appreciated. And to Rushy, Gibo, Philipo and the rest of the crew.
Mint day for shooting yesterday. Managed to tickle the 1815yd gong with the latte rifle (tx to Ryan and Kiwi39 for spotting duties), and got the 300yd gong prone with open sights late in the afternoon, so very happy with the shooting side.
Thanks @BRADS and Mel for hosting the event again.Thanks also to the guys ferrying people up to the range on the side by sides.Nice to meet a few more faces to put names to.Special mention to @Tahr for sitting in my deck chair and next time I sat in it I fell thru it:D Any deer left at Snee Rd tahr?
Also thanks again to @TimeRider and @gadgetman for the flagon of watties. I took a few pics but can't upload yet. Mint weather.
Thanks to all for the organisation of this event - it's been said before, but the organisers cannot be thanked enough.
Awesome event, awesome organisation and awesome to place faces and backgrounds to some of the forum handles.
Appreciate the camaraderie, shit talk and positive attitudes.
...and to @BRADS & Mel - thanks for the use of your facilities, your time, and effort: a top example for all forum members to aspire to.
Cheers for another banger weekend lads and ladies was a good one. Stopping for a stretch of the legs before I carry on home

Don't drive that way @Ryan_Songhurst:D
Much as I appreciate the feeling of laying my stiff and sunburned body down in a real bed, it doesn't really compare to the experience of camping out in a paddock, surrounded by the legends that I met and got to know this weekend. Forgive me for repeating what has already been said, but a huge thanks to BRADS, Mel and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make the event the amazing experience that it was. Thanks to everyone who took time to help me get on target, and to those who let me play with their toys.
For those who couldn't make it, you can take solace in the fact that, as you can see in the photos, we had terrible weather and nobody had any fun :P

Just don't spend that hour constantly thinking, "Am I asleep yet?"
Great shoot, well worth coming up too, thanks to the massive effort from Brads & Mel :cool:
Fantastic to meet new & catch up again with other Forumites
Looking forward to next year, hopefully I will get in some much needed practice before then.
Yeah what a cracker weekend.
Big huge thanks to Brads and Mel, massive effort and thanks for having us!
Thanks to the family for having us along again too. Luke you still cant light a fire for shit!
Big thanks to Philipo who really should consider a career in auctioneering!! Funny as all hell!!
Thanks to all that donated items to be auctioned and those that bought them.
Got to meet some new faces and catch up with some old ones. Cant wait for next year already!
Big thanks to everyone who organised this event, particularly @BRADS massive efforts. Great catching up with others I've met and putting new faces and names to forum handles.
Had a shed load of fun and really glad that @kiwi39 left two bolts behind. Otherwise I think I would have been in line for the "Wally of the Weekend" prize for bringing a rifle with a scope that didn't have enough elevation to zero it all the way from Christchurch. Whatever the gong was that was at the 100y range I was out by about half it's diameter at least. One of these years I'll sort my gear and hit a gong. Still, had a blast with some of @Happy's ammo in his lego gun. Still unconvincingly telling myself I don't need one.
So who is organising next year's event and where is it going to be? I need to book my leave pass early as the secretary of recreational affairs is tightening down on spontaneity. Ha ha ha ha .... Seriously though, who , where and when?
There was talk of Lake Lyndon (among solving all the world's other problems) which would make a great venue the only problem being what DOC's thoughts would be...
Few with stations down south would be awesome, apparently I'm already car pooling with @BRADS so looking forward to it
Somewhere in Marlborough would be great. Not far off the ferry for the foreigners and not too far for most SI blokes.
