But what a mission trying to find it, I didn't expect it to be lit up in neon but the directions I had been given were crap.

Had a great day, met a lot of good people, a guy even bought his daughter for a shoot - it was so cool watching him show her all the safety aspects and how to hold and shoot the rifle.

Put 40 rounds through my brand new Howa 1500 7-08 ( apologies again to 6x47 for mucking you around ) - annoyed I didn't take more as I was enjoying the awesome weather and time just flew.

Had the miss fortune of not having my earplugs in when an unsuppressed 7mil Rem went off next to me - geezus that hurt and what a shock wave!

I was surprised and pleased to see so many Howa 1500 rifles on the range, now that I'm loosing the AR I will definitely buy the Howa 223 package deal from Gunworks - it is so quiet its not funny.

Had a blast with the 10/22 - took the silencer off in the end as it was just too quiet and it felt like I was shooting a slug gun, went through about two hundred rounds since I run out of the 7-08.

Looking forward to the next visit - I hope they sort the bloody padlock though, the ranger had to come and unlock their lock as the D.S. lock shit itself.

Next to find is somewhere / thing warm and furry to eradicate.


Be safe all,
Mark.

Hi Mark,

Is it a NZDA range? - just waiting for my scope. Can’t wait to put the first rounds through my new Howa as well!
