Thread: New Range in Auckland

Close enough
Nothing like a 45min drive across West Akl on a Sunday

The biggest reason they let it past is the .22LR from the rifles would be in the 130bd range compared to 155db for the .223 and 156db for a Shotgun.

Interesting as I was just reading the ase website and their sl series of suppressors comply with some European standard of 137db.

You may have mentioned this elseware but has your range been templated based on centerfires then?

Yes,the template was for Centerfire as the original plan for the range was to set it up for centerfires, the backstop (Berm) is far to large for rimfire, but it worked out cheaper to plan in advance then modify when we can use them.

I'm in. A range thats open more than just sunday is going to be great. I will be even more in when/if it goes CF.

Thank you for your support.

Good on you MR, have you constructed your berms yet??
Why I ask is that I'm about to dig a big hole in Kumues main drag and want to get rid of the dirt, could do you a deal.

No money in that
Only get paid once, so do it properly.

Haven't visited the forum for a week or so (busy) but was onto this thread like a fat kid on a happy meal! This is the best news that I've heard in a while!!! I've been hanging out for a range that I can visit during the week as not all of us have weekends off.

Best of luck with the venture and I'll sure as hell be a regular.

Thank you, hope to see you there when it opens.

Dear Mr Range,
As an enthusiastic shooter this is very pleasing to see, I have never shot at a range before but this sounds excellent especially around weekday openings when everyone else is at work.
The fact "lanes" will be hired hourly will give the vast majority who just want to sight in their gear an opportunity to do this. Without actually having to try and squeeze into a club range, ie its perfect for the casual shooter.
The commercial aspect appeals very well.

Is there going to be a website which fully lists prices and spaces available ( book online )

All the best

Best news I have heard in a long time.

Hope you will offer discounts or 10 trip concession cards as I am thinking I will make the trip out once a week for a blast, loving the fact that you will be open weekdays.
