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.
