VISITERS ARE WELCOME TO COME AND SHOOT EITHER OUR CLUB RIFLES OR THEIR OWN RIFLES UP TO 8mm calibre ,no MUZZEL BRAKES allowed ,suppressors are fine
Bring some lunch and come and have some fun shooting on our electronic targets

Masterton Rifle Club had our Wairarapa Spring Shoot today @ Trentham.
800/900/1000 yds - windy as usual, and all shooters had problems at 900 as the wind was really gusting/shifting randomly - typical apparently.
Just went as an extra pair of hands - shoulder giving me gyp with arthritis.
Hoping we can get a replacement for Brancipeth early next year.
Many thanks to Karori Rifle Club for sharing their club rooms/facilities with us.
A great bunch of people in this NRA shooting game

That's pretty cool
How accurate is the velocity at the target?
I'll make a point of coming over next year had have a crack at 600

The accuracy of the velocity at the targets is up for debate, there are a lot of variables at play and the sensor is only about 30cm long ,however we have done some testing with a magnatospeed crony on the barrel and and the speeds correlate (higher speed at the muzzel = higher speed registered at the target, same with slower shots showing up slower at the target and the difference between high and low speeds are about the same on both cronys )so we use the speed on the targets as a useful guidline only
Te Puke is holding a HUNTER CLASS SHOOT on SUNDAY 25TH FEBRUARY 2018, EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO COME AND SHOOT THEIR HUNTING RIFLE AT 3,5 AND 600 YARDS ,PRIZES AWARDED ON THE DAY
We also welcome visiters to our range we are open Saturday's during the season if you want to get in some practice
