Yards is for the subjects of the empire, meters ( created by the French the year of the revolution1789) is what people in a free world are referring to!
Thanks again to Brad, Mel, Rushy and all the others who contributed to that fantastic event.
I was really pleased to put faces on the names of the forum.
How many yards tall are you @Philipo ??
One and two feet ;) oh plus the fuck all bit
You can drink yards, just not the same drinking a metre!:O_O:
Bet you were pleased when @Dundee left early leaving you in the clear with the tryline open for the Ongaongas Tallest Dwarf contest
Bullshit @Gibo - you were only drinking water eh.
Have to say it was a great weekend, meeting forum members and taking in the atmosphere. Many thanks to the Hosts @BRADS and Mel wouldn't happen without their generosity. Top marks to all the cooks and people involved in running the event. It was incredible to see the auction for Toby's 270 and the price it fetched, truly amazing. It seems this event will only get bigger.
Massive thanks to @BRADS and the team that put this together.
Warm fuzzies to know that there are such a good group of lads and ladies on here willing to do the mahi for a great cause.
Bring on next year!
Nice meeting you folk @Savage1 , @Gibo , @199p, @Rushy, @Philipo.
Well done setting up Toby's .270 @Kiwi Greg, never seen something with so little recoil.
Big ups to @Alonzo for donating the scope.
One epic weekend even for a non shooter.
Was great to meet so many new forum members, nothing like putting faces to names and to catch up with a great bunch of people.
Top work to Brads, Mel, Gibbo, P38, Savage 1, 7mm saum and everyone else who had a hand in setting up and running the event.
Special note of rushy doing the cooking Top work mat.
I spend many hours on spotting scopes calling shots and helping many shooters get on the gongs,
this proved very hard at time trying to spot shots and calling windage in testing conditions.
this one handed typing sucks so I will add some pictures

Would like to take this time to thank everyone who came along and made the event what it was
Side by side towing a hilux bwahhaha
It was certainly a bloody good weekend on all fronts. Finally met a whole bunch of fellas ive wanted to meet for a fair while. Good times just hanging out with good mates and new mates. Getting to shoot further than i have before, and seeing plenty of others with more skills/experience than me in action with their cool big toys. I even got to have a burn on a 338 Norma mag on the 1,340 gong, and Greg's 50 cal too. Awesome stuff!
The whole weekend was so well organised and it run perfectly, the hosts @BRADS and his wife Mel were truly fantastic and really made us all feel welcome on their property. From what i saw everyone was very safe and well behaved during the day and night ;-)
I could not think of a better, more fitting tribute and memorial to our mate Toby, he surely would have loved it! And I bet he'd be pissing himself that a .270 could have possibly raised so much money.
Thanks so much to everyone who helped dream-up, plan, organise and run the event - It was a credit to you all. For those of you that missed it, make sure you make it happen next year, too good to miss twice!
I didnt get much video of the weekend, but did manage to capture a shot on the 1,075 yard gong that i was proud of (my new PB).

Nice shot :thumbsup:
Cheers for an AWESOME weekend team. Very well run, and executed on all counts.the hosts @BRADS and his wife Mel were just fantastic! And all the good friends / new people met. Look forward to future events just like it!
First off, thanks everybody who worked behind the scenes :thumbsup:
Second, thanks Mel and Brads for allowing so many new people onto your property – its lovely!
Third, everyone who pitched in with the food. Saturday morning I had bacon on toast – mmm, delicious :yum:
Fourth, everyone. All the ROs. Everyone being safe at the range. @kiwi39 for helping me hit targets as far away as 585 yards! @Philipo – for the hat.
Should I mention dad for getting us there?
I very much enjoyed hearing some different accents, and meeting others. Sorry for being so quiet, I’m hideously shy and awkward. While teachers at my High school wished everyone else would talk less, I was the complete opposite! Argh! :XD:
I doubt I’ve done justice to this post, I wasn’t sure what to write, but at least it’s something. And sorry, no pictures – never took any.
Shit lads ya all better come back next year and practice the deer has some interest aiming points.

I got rather frustrated neck shooting the shit out of one of them as I thought a shoulder shot wasn't much of a challenge, and not getting a ringing sound back, was about to throw my rifle down the bank
GM, you got owned, by a girl, with a 243....
I think you should sit out the 270 bashing maybe?
I'm guessing TR has GM in exactly the same place my daughter has me.
A while ago she asked for something. No, no,no, ok then. Wife walked in and everyone was laughing. She asked why daughter was looking around her little finger. She replied, I'm just looking at dad
