Your not wrong Gimp.

That's why I joined a Pistol Club with no Pistol NZ affiliations.

That way we make our own rules.

I'd been told that the non PNZ affiliated clubs were being bullied into getting in line

As they say the more people we can get interested in the sport the better it is for the clubs.

Yep

But we just ignored them Cowboys and they went away.

How much pressure was put on? Did you just tell them to get bent?

Interesting, I was under the impression you had to be affiliated with PNZ or you can't have pistols. Would it be a bit cheaper or do you have good sized club fees. What about range certification?

It's not actually enacted in legislation, but from what I understand it is very difficult to get your club recognized and the police hate you for it.

I can imagine Mr plod wouldn't be happy.

Last minute update. 3gun Nationals at the Hokitika pistol club this weekend.

I know of three clubs not affiliated to PNZ.

None had any difficulty being recognised by the police once they were an incorporated society.
