I have been told,by a usually reliable source,that the hit in the lower left came about from a chap who was aiming at his ammo box at lunchtime in a completely different paddock.
This may or may not be true
I am still trying to find a property large enough and friendly enough to go CNI next year. Not much luck so far.
Anybody reading that can help would you please PM me.
Excellent blurb in the latest Swazi Clan News of the shoot. Reads really well and reminds us of who we are and what Toby meant to us....not that you would have forgotten :)
Here it is.
Since 2016 the good buggers over at the NZHS forum www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.nz) have run a long range shooting weekend in memory of their mate Toby Goodley who passed on to the big hunting grounds in the sky at the young age of 20 in 2015.
Toby was part of the furniture within the NZHS community and his absence is sorely missed.
The one thing Toby asked for in his final days was for the guys at NZHS to use his memory to do some good and so came about the Toby Goodley Memorial Shoot.
The shoot is held around October/November each year and is attended by everyone from the bloke with his 22, right up to some pretty impressive long range weaponry, with distances from 100yds out to 2000yds and beyond.
This years event was held near Kurow in the South Island.
A highly anticipated part of the weekend each year is the auction that is run on the Saturday night with donated goods auctioned and the money donated along with entry fees to Ozanam house and the Child Cancer Foundation, both of whom were integral in helping Toby and his family through the battles he faced.
This year the team from NZHS were stoked to have Swazi support with a couple of Swazi Tahr XP anoraks and a Bushshirt being hot ticket items at the auction.
The weekend is always a fun relaxed atmosphere, you don't even have to be interested in long range shooting. Go along for a few beers, good food, lots of laughs, get some tips for hunting and shooting, enjoy a great atmosphere and meet some of the real good buggers that are part of the hunting fraternity in New Zealand, get onto www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.nz for more info about the next event.
I think the thanks should go to @Ryan_Songhurst for the info sent to Swazi for the write up and organising the Thar coats for the now famous auction. Well done mate:)
The final tally has now been all added up and the total raised from this years shoot at Kurow is $6218. So well done lads and Lassie's
We had 43 people register for the shoot and only a few couldn't make it @jakewire is sorting out where the money goes to
Thanks again to all who helped out and travelled to Kurow for the weekend
And @Rushy you can get Waikato Draught at Oamaru Liquor Land
All of this will be donated to the Child Cancer Foundation in our and Toby's name, I will post a receipt as soon as I get one
To all involved, please take a moment to feel a little bit proud.
I thank each and every one of you.
Regards.

That’s awesome and it sure was good to be there.
Just a heads up boys'n'girls
There will be a report / article coming out in the next issue ( March / April ) of NZ Guns & Hunting Magazine, It's getting printed as I type so should be on shelves towards the end of this month.
I never got sent the proof to check ( Nik forgot ) but he tells it looks good so hopefully it hasn't been edited to much.
Any news on this year gentlemen?
Is @R93 our RO?
Waiouru is it?
