Bloody fantastic turnout. Got to meet the South Island contingent after years of wanting to and it isn't true about the four thumbs at all. Brads you are a good prick by anyone's measure and you and your missus are fantastic hosts. It was a pleasure and a privilege to share the weekend with you all. When I told my family about the auction, my daughter wept at the the generosity. What we have started will develop into something bigger than all of us. I will certainly be there next year.
Sounds bloody fantasic folk.
Well worth the effort from canterbury . Thanks for the generous hospitality brads & Mel , and all the rest of you lot that made this a most memorable weekend . Hope to make the pilgrimage next year

wow! what a weekend.
I have had my power nap so good to go!
an outstanding weekend with unbelievably generous hosts a great bunch of people with some excellent shooting thrown in for good measure.
I was feeling a tad inadequate with my 6.5 and .22 though with some very nice kit been put to use on the range.
I betcha Toby got a smile on his dial that's for sure.
there not much more I can say as there has been a heap of praise already for whole weekend.
I'm already looking forward to next year with the trg in full song with its new barrel.
so thanks again to the people that made this weekend possible.
you know who you are!
cheers Andy

Great weekend, @Rushy , great work cooking @P38 , great work on the range @Alonzo , cheers for the ride, generosity and great shooting hitting the 2K gong twice in a row. @phillipo , great work with the auctioning and general entertainment @veitnamcam @300_BLKout @carpdiem @kiwi39 and many more for the good company.
And of course @BRADS and his lovely boss Mel, they're absolute legends and not enough can be said to thank them enough, this never would've happened without you two.
Only took a few pics so here they are.

Holy fuck theres half a face in that fire
As a new member to the site, I had only read a few posts regarding the shoot. Having now just finished reading the last 6-8 pages of this thread all I can say is, WOW, what an amazing bunch of people you lot are. And Toby, you sure must have been an amazing fellow to elicit this much respect from a group such as this.
I take my hat off to each and all for coming together like this to celebrate person in such a fitting manner.
well done to all.
and RIP Toby.
See YOU next year, then ay @ROKTOY ??

Absolutely amazing event and I was very privileged to be part of it. Great opportunity to put faces to names to forum handles, chat, talk shit and learn heaps. I didn't get to meet everyone so will simply have to do it again next year to sort out a few connections.
Massive thanks to the crew that put all this together. @BRADS and mel for the set up and hosting; incredible effort. @Rushy for the words and big cooking efforts. @phillipo; and @Gibo and the range officers and everyone else that pitched in.
Big thanks to @kiwi39 for coaching and spotting for @TimeRider who owned me in the shooting department. I need to work on her diplomacy skills for next year, ie don't beat your old man by so much next time.
Copy that @ROKTOY, like you I am new here but blown away by how bloody awesome this little community is! Toby would certainly be proud to know how many lives he is still touching. RIP.
Jealous and extremely proud of you lot is an understatement!
Well done @BRADS and all those involved.. A young mans life celebrated once more and some serious dough donated to charity!
I hope to bring a few from down South next year to sling some lead, chew the fat and do my part and graffiti Toby's namesake somewhere...

Sounds like an awesome weekend and enjoyed by all. Kudos to those who made it happen and a very rewarding result achieved. Pity I wasn't there but other prioities took pole position.
Home stretch, thanks again to all involved for an awesome weekend

Congratulations to all the organizers and crew for what appears to have been a highly successful weekend
Everyone getting there and back safe is the icing on the cake
You must have pulled over for a snooze too. I pulled in for a couple of hours rest in the Hundalees when my leg went nuts. Knew it wasn't too crack hot when it wouldn't hold me up when I decided I'd better walk to stretch it out. So I had a snooze for a couple of hours on the back seat as well. Awesome event and good to meet and talk to more of Toby's family.
I am SO VERY PROUD of you members of this forum!
I am gutted that time and work couldn't allow me to once again join you guys, tears hang in my eyes reading the posts and seen the photos, Toby was/is a very lucky "man" who knew many of you guys and make us, the other lot who didn't knew him in person, proud of everything he somehow thought us.
From my part, thank you to the hosts for facilitate the event, for the "behind the curtain" people who work and support the event, "WELL DONE"! You guys make me feel very proud to be part of this community
I will do everything to make next year event and many other events that i have opportunity organised by this great community.
Cheers to all those who post the reports and photos!
God bless you all!
Mac
my company will put its hand up to sponsor whether I make something or just some funds will sort something with @BRADS
What a bloody awesome weekend :)
Highlights for me in no particular order.
Meeting a great bunch of blokes :thumbsup:
Being amazed at the accuracy of all the different firearms in use.
Smashing the 300m gong with @Marty Henry 132 year old trap door 45-70 Springfield :thumbsup:
Admiring Toby's 270, well done all those that helped put this together. :thumbsup:
And of course a big :thumbsup: to those who dug deep into their pockets and bid on this rifle.
Sitting around the bonfire listening to everyone (myself excluded of course :P ) talking shit.
Sleeping in the woolshed (brought back some bloody good childhood memories).
Being part of an awesome event in remembrance of an outstanding young man. :)
Cheers
