NZ Shooting Ranges - map and contacts

So have started (only 4.....) to map on google, where all the shooting ranges are in nz (not private only ones).
The general thinking behind this is for people to beable to look at where they are going for the weekend, or if they have a hour free and in a new town, to beable to find a range close to them easy, with some kind of info on what the range is and how to shoot it.

Sort of easy in some ways, everybody here, pins their local range, to the map, and some basic details, then everyone can see it.

Map is at - https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?m...v8&usp=sharing


Of course if clubs etc, want to put it on their web sites, thats all ok to.
Its public edit at the moment, and depending on QA of info ending up on it this may change, but cant lock it down and expect lots of info.

Whats the general thought, ok or shit idea?

Great idea!

Awesome idea! Now just need link it up to the shopping sales for the missus and everyone has an excuse to get away

Great idea! Just added my locals

Have added Wgtn Pistol Club and HVDA - with HVDA a check of the range calender is preferable before a trip as it can often be booked out

Have added a handful also.

Add these ones? Member Clubs » National Rifle Association of New Zealand

Great idea, shame our dovedale range has just become members only access due to a few key hirers abusing the privilege, will still load it on because it's only $50 a year to join

Thanks to all for putting in ranges! The map is starting to look good.

Hopefully helpful to people.

I had a look on the phone this morning, and certainly will make it easy for driving to new ranges. ie click pin, and hit navigate to.

Bear in Mind, quite a few of the NRA ranges ie Clevedon and Akarana are on privately owned farms and you can only attend when the club has a shoot on, otherwise bloody good idea

Becker, bloody good idea. If Only I was a bit more technical than the hole in a doughnut I might be able to add some in but I am fucked if I can work out how to do it.

Depending how it displays in your browser just mouse over the thing that looks like an exclamation mark to add a "pin"
Find your range
Add Pin with leftclick and a menu displays saying what sort of range it is
Add the range website to the details box if the range has one

If it all goes titsup hit the rubbishbin icon

Good luck

On ya Stretch. Whack in the NZDA range at the Riverhead forest (entry via Forestry Road, Kumeu) and then immediately overlay the Omni Target Club in the same location.

Is that different to the NZDA Auckland Branch, or the NZDA North Auckland ranges already added to the map?

Already done.

Have added all the Top Of the South ranges I know of, seeing it on the map makes you appreciate how lucky were are around here. Was gonna add @vietnamcam's house as a joke but somebody's liable to turn up and get shot

I have added the Dunedin deerstalkers range. Open 1-4pm on Saturdays. Located on Leith Valley Road north of the City.

Thanks all for adding in ranges.

Hi
Good idea.
However I have just removed our club from the map. We have issues with people rocking up and sighting in rifles and such like at the moment. Our range standing orders do not allow this.
I would greatly hesitate to make it easier for them by looking at this map.
DM if you want to know which club.

Thanks

Hi @bluemonsta , I must admit that this is the big downside of this. Thanks for removing it. Could you pm which one, and I'll try and keep a eye, that it doesn't get added again.

How about put the location of the range/club as the centre of the closest town, with a link to the club's website (you have a website, right?). That way interested parties can make arrangements through the proper channels, rather than just turning up.

And most club websites also have the directions to the range. :P

bloody good idea. I definitely think there needs to be a note saying whether you can rock up/need to join club/only on Sundays etc. looks like there is room to add on the page

Good thought. I have added a column for 'How to gain access'

Other than the pistol club, does anyone know of any ranges in Taranaki?

we

Something wrong with strech's map... There's no range within a 2hrs drive! :oh noes:

so many clubs i could visit on my domestic travels!

some top o' the north island clubs added: Hamilton Pistol, Auckland Pistol, Waitakere Small Bore, Whangarei Pistol, Whatitiri Clay, and Kaitaia Pistol — beware details/notes may be misleading despite best efforts.

@Beaker: have ticked appropriate boxes and Saved twice for all of the above but some gremlin keeps changing my column selections.

I visited the Waiuku Pistol Club range a couple of weekends ago. Greeted by very friendly folks, shot a bit of rifle on Range 2 - 100m and shooting under cover. Fantastic :thumbsup: and A+, would recommend.

I just added the Whangarei Rifle Club.

I had similar issue in firefox, I think it's google's way of forcing you to use Chrome. Worked in Microsoft edge

Good evening all, I was wondering if anyone had the contact details for 1000m range Tai Tapu CHCH, looking for somewhere to sight in the PU mosin and test some home loads

Regards

Matt

Added rotorua Deerstalkers also
Bkackpowder and pistol club on either side
