Thread: Auckland shooting club membership fees

The aim of these matches is to get people involved in some different types of shooting. We have many members that don't have any experience with practical shooting so safety, as usual, is paramount.

Until you have your 'B' or done one of the practical rifle courses then you can't run around. So strictly systolic you are right, it doesn't meet IPSC rules as we are shooting too many targets from one position but thats not the point of the exercise.

This gives members a small taste of what they can do later and and everyone had a great time from beginner to seasoned IPSC shooters.

It's not the too many shots from one position. That's allowed for Level 1 matches.

The problem is the mixing of full size and mini targets in the same array. Mini targets not two metres behind full sized ones and mini targets placed on top of full sized no shoots.

Read rule 4.2.1. and the target array book.

If people are being charged $500 to join a club, the least they could expect is to have the club follow the rules of the game they are playing.

WTF?

Soft target usage and placement rules for a beginner/intro shoot?

You can't honestly be whinging about that?

You must have such an exhilarating life

I hope you're not a member of that club.....for everyone elses sake.

Ummm. Who was complaining? Yes, of course he can, and does, complain about pretty much anything.

If they're going to ignore basic rules about simple things like target arrays, perhaps they could ignore other rules too? Why bother following rules about magazine capacity, holster position or fault lines?

New shooters need to be taught the right way to do things from the very start.

That way you don't get people in their first Level 3 match wondering why they've been bumped to open, because no cunt ever told them about not putting more than 15 rounds in their Shadow magazines in production division. Or reloading with a spare magazine from the front pocket of their jeans.

It wasn't a proper match. It is a get people interested in 3-gun/mulitgun from the long gun stand point rather than from the pistol angle. Hense no shooting on the move, it was a taster activity not a real match.

Sorry we rubbed you up the wrong way. Everyone said they would come back, no one asked for a refund.

I would say it was a success

Good on yous. More people into the shooting sports the better.

I shot the Mini Rifle match. Coming from a novice point of view it was great. A very good introduction to the sport, important practice of the processes and learning the RO commands. I think this was the point of the day. Even the seasoned shooters looked to enjoy it. ASC are doing a great job catering for what I assume is a large number of people asking for things.

Hey Guys,
just moved to Auckland and wanted to get out to a range to sight a new rifle in. The only two i can see is the one in this convo is about and the deer stalkers range. Is there any other places to go just need 100-200m?

cheers

You'd be better off at NZDA as the ASC doesn't have a range that far yet.

Thanks Rushy will be a good chance to meet some hunters around the place too cheers

It was an intro shoot FFS.

Level matches have someone competent and familiar with the rules set targets so you raise a pointless argument regarding this example

All the other stuff can be read in the IPSC rule book handed out on RO or Holster cse.
Entering a match unprepared regarding rules is a competitors fault. No one else's.

Maybe you should read a rule book on how not to be a dick all the time.
Might take you a while to get thru tho. Bonus for us as it might keep you away from the forum awhile.
