I think, most of us get what Bunker is saying, he's just wanting to know if anyone has a place available that he can try out. I'm positive he's not trying to provoke or upset anyone, if you read his post he is simply wanting to try out his new firearm.
Can't blame a guy for asking. Frankly I'd probably do the same thing he has. - my 2cents.
Geez, nice one guys.
I thought I was on FnH forum for a bit judging by the comments.
Welcome to Sako club.
Give the whole Auckland shit a rest. It was old a long time ago.
Yes I know it's a piss take but something original would be refreshing.
As for bunker when one of your first post's is asking for a place to shoot on in an urban/semi rural area like Auckland you're always going to run into issue's.
Best bet is to try and build a good report with people here first but unfortunately it looks like you've already burnt your bridges with some of the very generous people who aloud me to shoot and participate with activities on their land.
I was in the same boat as you are Bunker.
Bought a rifle few years ago, thought about finding a rural property to shoot on but the time spent on doing that wasn't worth it. instead I spent $30 went to the NZDSA on a Saturday I believe it was, a fellow shooter offered to help out and sight in the gun as I was a complete newbie, the range person there was very friendly too.
I understand you are busy on weekends, tho it may be worth freeing up couple of hours to visit them if all else fails - if you are just going to sight in your gun.
Alternatively, I'm happy to join you on a drive around to respectfuly knock on some doors around rural Auckland as I'd be keen to shoot my future gun too.
If that fails, we'll drive to Dundee for a bomb up. LOL
Anyone is more than welcome to shoot here got a 200 and 500yrd gong set up.

Unfortunately unless you personally know someone paying to play is just what you have to do near the main centers if you don't have a lot of time to door knock.
Range membership that lets you shoot not on weekdays sounds like what the op needs. At aprox $150 a year you would want to use it a couple of times though to get value from it. Having worked weekends a lot I discovered week days are the better time to go to ranges anyway as a lot less time spent waiting for others to do there thing
