Thread: Auckland shooting club membership fees

When you consider that a lot of people have nowhere to shoot around Auckland, Auckland Pistol Club has been neutered, they're down to a single range on which you can't fire more than an 8 shot string. Waiuku is having noise issues. OMNI is reliant on the NZDA facility which is shaky with the new ownership of the forest etc... I'm quite glad that someone had the balls to put that much money up to buy a bloody huge block of land and spend a ton developing it to provide a top notch shooting facility to anyone who feels like joining. It's also been future proofed against further whinging by neighbours like pretty much all the other clubs within 2 hours of Auckland. Granted you won't be able to shoot to 600m on day 1, but it's primary focus is for pistol shooters anyway. I heard something like 38 ranges were planned BEFORE they bought the much bigger Southern block.. We are all crying out for somewhere like this, and unfortunately things like this cost money, LOTS of money.Far more than 99% of people have access to. And someone else has been so kind as to do it for us, and allow us to go there for a measly $500? I think it's bloody awesome.

Auckland Shooting Club

EDIT: And 1000 people signed up as prospective. 200 initial offers for membership were put out 1.5-2 weeks ago. I said yes and paid last night, and I was number 126 so far. Clearly enough people think that it is in fact worth it.

As to the cost: Add an NZDA Akl membership (to shoot to 200m once a month maybe, 100 and 50 twice a month) and OMNI fees to be able to shoot pistol.. You're nearly at the cost of ASC anyway. For a 5 to 7 day swipe card access, none of this being let in a gate twice a day business. Come and go when you want pretty much. Like adults
