Thread: Rifle ranges near Hawkes Bay

The Hawkes Bay Rifle Club have a 300 and 600yd range at Paki Paki just out of Hastings. It is an NRA template range which means (amongst other things) you need a known zero to shoot, the rifle can only have a closed bolt when it is "in the shoulder" ( or on a rest) and the bolt must be removed before exiting the mound. You are restricted in power to ?4000 Joules ME, ie no big boomers like .338L. The club uses Silver Mountain electronic targets so you see your bullet strike immediately on your tablet screen.

As you can imagine, it is not for someone who wants to sight in their rifle on a casual basis. If you are interested in having a go, contact the Secr : marshall.les@xtra.co.nz.
Club rifles and ammo are available for a nominal amount.
