Thread: Back in AKL, looking for shooting buddies

Ja I've been to that range several times and the whole gate thing is quite annoying.

Auckland Pistol Club, out by Brookby past Manukau and then use the Botanical Gardens turn off on the motorway (used to take me @45 mintues drive from Takapuna)- website is here - they shoot IPSC, ISSF and NRA Action, all outdoor ranges. APC have a great training process too, for you to do your six months probation, training and shooting under supervision. Max 50 yards. Open Wednesday afternoons, Sat and Sunday but time restrictions for shooting exist.

OMNI pistol club shoot at the NZDA Riverhead range too, Auckand NZDA website is here, it's open weekends, but the challenge there is there is limited time for entry and exit. Miss the window to get in and you can't get in as the gate is locked behind them on arrival (range is a couple of km down the road). The range isn't available all the time as sometimes there's competitions on, besides it's currently closed due to the extreme fire risk.

Waiuku Pistol Club, website is here, open Wednesday -> Sunday 1000 - 1600. Further to drive from North Shore, but open more than anyone else.
