Thread: Auckland Shooting Range Shooting

To shoot in Auckland is not hard! You have three clubs with ranges out to 1000 yards in close proximity as stated early in the thread by Dogmatix and Dermaster. They are ClevedonClevedon Rifle Club - Home, Akarana-Cityhttps://www.sporty.co.nz/akaranacity/ and Franklinhttps://www.franklinrifleclub.co.nz/.
All of these clubs are wanting to meet you and make you feel welcome. They all cater for visitors and are a wealth of knowledge about wind, weather, and getting the most out of your firearm.
These clubs all use electronic targets so collecting data about your shoot is as easy as connecting to the target server and saving your shoots for later reference.
If any of you really want to shoot, instead of staying home dreaming your dreams, then contact one or all three of these clubs. The contact numbers are on their webpages. Some use facebook as well.
There is no need to bemoan the lack of rifle ranges in Auckland and try to re-invent the wheel, when you have three on your doorstep

Yeah great if you want to shoot NRA style shoots, but no joy if you want to shoot steel targets or have a PRS/field shoot.

Out of interest do these clubs only shoot target rifles? It's a shame because if they do it must be a small portion of the shooting community.

These clubs will welcome you with just about any type of rifle. NRANZ holds competitions for Target rifles chambered in .308 and .223 shot with open sights, Target rifles in the same calibres but with telescopic sights shot off a bipod and rear bag, Any other rifle under 8mm in calibre with any sights shot off a front rest and rear bag, as well as a hunter class for factory hunting rifles as sold as package deals by sports retailers, with a max power scope of 10x shot over a day-pack or hunting bipod.
As you can see, most stuff is catered for except the .338 mag and .50 cal. monsters.
Clevedon range is also the home range of the Auckland Service Rifle Association with the variety of firearms that they use.
There are keen groups of black powder shooters, vintage rifle enthusiasts and .303 rifle fans who also use these ranges.
