    Sight in rifle in exchange for fishing

    Hi I have sold my farm and moved from the King County to Cambridge. I am enquiring to see if I could get onto a property not to far out of Cambridge where I could shoot out to 100 meters to sight in a new rifle and different loads, the rifle is suppressed. I have hunted all my life and had a lot of experience with firearms.
    In return for the favour l would be more than happy to exchange fishing trips East or West coast game or bottom fishing.

    Well I am far too far away but would definitely take you up on that offer if I was closer.

    Bloody tidy boat the 'whitepointer' is a heap of them up in Samoa each year for the SIGFA international game fishing tournament. Very nice.

    Often people are a bit tentative on here with first posters so if you have no joy you could always pop a bit about yourself in the intro thread and that might help

    Sold mine there as well and moved to Te Awamutu, many a time we went out at nite over the bar at Marakopa in a Whitepointer out to the Trench, and I can tell you that the bar can change dramatically in 12 hours. I would offer you my place to sight in but I've shifted again over the ditch and brought more land, although I do wish it rained more often here.

    Someone will be along shortly with the full details, but from what I’ve read on this forum in the past, Taupo range is open to public use for a small donation.

    Yeah Marokopa wasn't for the faint hearted. I drove the exrta distance and put in at Te Waitere. Even then I unintentionally got the 6.5 meter Haines airborne on a couple of occasions.
    Unsophisticated... AF!

    Thanks for the suggestion of Taupō, if I can’t get a property closer will have to make contact with someone involved over there.
