Thread: Auckland shooting club membership fees

I just paid.

After being involved in building a range from a flat paddock, I understand the design/cert constraints, and cost there of.
This range is ALOT bigger, and they have confirmed scope and vision - all costs money.

For me, I think the price is very reasonable, considering the opening times and what will be available. It's going to be a fantastic facility, and will hopefully get to host a alot of new shoots and comps. Masters games as a example.

Well done to the team behind it all, and I look forward to sending some lead down range

Don't have any guns here in Auckland - yet.

Will sign up on the next intake and start working on my pistol license..... sometime.

I've done the same. If it was located south of Auckland I would have joined and gone for the B Cat training but I'm mainly after somewhere to shoot my rifles. $575 for a year and an 1 1/2 hour drive to shoot under 50m doesn't add up. Waiuku's a hell of a lot less.

Give them heaps and don't clean them!

Watch the trigger and hammer on that grey one....... it's rather nice...... it shows that 6 fingered coasters May know a thing or 2 - or maybe can just hold a stone better.....

Actually, do you some spare safe space?

Me or C? I have a bit, not much more left for long guns though. Wellll, I could fit more in but it ends up being a Jenga exercise to fit them in, and more chance of dinging something accidentally. The ATM safe has plenty left though in the top for ammo, scopes and uppers and that sort of thing? What kind of nuts are you looking to bury?

Will give you a shout later.....

When finished it will be an awesome facility, even on day one with six ranges that is a lot of opportunity and with a seven day opening there is a lot of time for people to take advantage.

With the size of the first ranges it is more suited to pistol and ipsc rifle etc.

I am very happy with the ideas around 22lr ipsc rifle matches which make it much more available to a lot more people without the costs. Anything from more basic ruger 10/22 to something a bit more expensive thats more 'tactical' and suited to putting a 22 upper on your AR. Most people will be able to participate without a huge cost and I think it will be popular there.

I know my 11 year old will be doing that until he is more capable with a 223.

The cost does seem high but IMO only relative to a couple other local facilities. When you consider the extra 40-50 hours per week potential shooting you can get there it doesn't seem like a lot to me. Granted a lot of people here shoot rifle and if you want long distance, it's not there just yet.

Great opportunity to get in to pistol shooting while you wait

membership will expand (mainly rifle shooters) as the facility expands. I cant justify the cost for the ranges available yet. It has amazing potential and I probably will end up applying for membership.
