Thread: Which 4 guns do I need in NZ?

Great thread for newcomers in NZ. One question (Not terribly off-topic)

"After how long one can start FAL application once in NZ". I tried searching on net but could not find much.

How long is a piece of string? It took a colleague who came over from Europe nearly 18 months to get his FAL.

Oh, there goes my plans of start training for Olympic trap as soon as I am there. Hopefully UpperHutt shotgun club have some guns which they can lend to people without FAL.

You can shoot under supervision of another licensed person, think you can do it in groups anyway, I'm sure they would be able to cater as school kids do it.

Hi mate, I would suggest joining a club as soon as you get here. They will be able to lend you a gun and sell you ammo. Also as part of the FAL process you will need a referee to vouch for you and there will be loads of candidates at the club.

If your in Palmy check out these guys, they might be a bit closer https://www.rrgc.org.nz/ hopefully their shotgun range will be back up by the time you get here.

Thanks for the pointers @Sh00ter. I do intend to join "Hutt Valley Clay Target Club" as soon as I am there. Pushing my wife to move to Wellington. Better chances for my Job there and Hutt valley club has ISSF trap range.

Along with that NZDA. Lets see If I ever make it there
