40 power tool spot prizes sponsored by North Canterbury Fish & Game will be drawn throughout the day.
A BBQ will be run throughout the day.

How The Draws Will Be Conducted

There will be four categories in the spot prize draw Red, White, Green and Blue so everyone has an equal chance. Tickets from all the categories will be in for the main prize draw.
You can enter one category only.

Categories are:
Red 1 – 5 legs
White 6 – 15 legs
Green 16 – 40 legs
Blue 41 legs and over

Spot prizes will be drawn every half an hour, one ticket from each category. The names of the winners will be placed on a black board. Please check this when you come in from a clay shoot.

On completion of the clay shoot, the World Goose Calling Championship will be held followed by the trophy and prize awards. Prizes for the clay shoot and the most geese shot will be awarded next.

Main Draw

Four tags will be placed in a container red, white, green and blue. These tags will then be drawn to determine the order of the draw for the 2nd , 3rd, 4th and 5th prizes, first colour out will be second prize, second colour out will be third prize, third colour out will be fourth prize and fourth colour out will be fifth prize, and then this process will be repeated for 6th to 9th prizes.

Two draws will then be made from each of the four categories containers.

All tickets from the four categories will then be placed in one container for the major prize draw.

The sporting Clay Shoot will be a drawn prize event run under the same rules as the Hunting and Fishing Shoots.

Conditions of Competition

Hunters supervising junior hunters be aware of the supervision law. It is illegal to give a firearm as a prize to a person who does not have a firearms licence. We therefore suggest that the person supervising the junior hunter enters any goose legs the junior shoots and marks the tickets and should the junior win a prize, the supervisor can claim the prize and hold it in trust for the minor.

North Canterbury Fish and Game thank the North Canterbury Game Shooters Club, Christchurch International Airport Ltd, The Waihora Clay Target Club, Hamills CHCH, Ballinger’s Hunting & Fishing, NZ Ammo Company, Hollands Suzuki and Gun City for help with organising this event.

North Canterbury Fish & Game take no responsibility for any accidents or injuries incurred during this event. Hunters should be aware of the hazards that exist when hunting and abide by the regulations as stipulated with your firearms licence.

This does not entitle hunters to shoot on private property and hunters should gain the landowners permission before entering private property. Any person or persons breaching the rules will be disqualified from all aspects of the event.
