I was a member of the tokoroa NZDA but for what I paid for, the monthly meeting revolved around the Target shooting scene and not much about hunting, no hunts or bushcraft courses were offered or anything that would draw any members to the branch unless you were a hard core target shooter. For me to use a range now I would happily pay to be a member of the tokoroa shooting complex for 7 day a week range access but not the NZDA there for the reason they are not hunting orientated at all except for when it comes deer permit issue time for the pines, other branches do focus on hunting and very few do not. But for now the occasional trip to the taupo NZDA for $2 donation is a good alternative, and keeps me from shooting off too much ammo.
