    Anyone have a farm closer to Auckland area can kindly do some target shooting please?

    Hi happy new year to everyone, just got back into shooting. Due to my work schedule, range time is not suitable.

    Anyone closer to the Auckland area have a farm or private range I can do shooting on please?

    I will bring lunch and beers lol, will definitely clean up all the Ammo afterwards.

    Please pm me a message if you can help me, thanks a lot guys, have a nice day

    Is Auckland that tight for ranges? Bummer.

    You might boost your case by mentioning if you have a suppressor.

    And are you just wanting to sight in or looking for a permanent arrangement?

    Better solution for you and your family is to shift to the NZ Mainland.

    Door knocking is the only way and plenty of others have tried before you.

    We are so full that we have started exporting.

    Anyway it's cold and horrible down here
    There are no animals to shoot
    The locals aren't very friendly
    Our knuckles drag on the ground
    We are all closely related
    We just can't afford to get across the ditch and leave
    You wouldn't like it at all !

    Certain ranges are open every day of the year.
    Identify your target beyond all doubt

    Yes it's not easy to find an Auckland property to shoot on. I think Waiuku pistol club and Auckland shooting club are open during the week for members.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I was up at ASC this morning burning up some 9mm, 38 special and 40 S&W. Plenty of room at the inn.

    Don't move to the Waikato either, we are totally full up.

    I think Palmerston North or Invercargil are the best bets these days, situation isn't dire enough to force people there just yet.
