    If one of you guys wants to use the Tokoroa range send me a PM and I might (depending how busy I am) be able to take you. You just have to pay $10.

    EaglePoint is right. Scout and find where the ducks want to be. Don't waste your time hunting a spot because it looks good. Hunts where the ducks are going.

    Very well set up range. Recommended. Takes about 1 hr 20 to drive from Hamilton compared to 1 hr to Tokoroa. You will need your own target frames at Tokoroa but not at TECT. You can set out your targets at several ranges and just shoot them one after the other so it would be better for establishing trajectory. And it goes to 300m. . Take good ear protection at TECT because others will be shooting big calibers next to you. Look at the BOP NZDA web site for details and contact people to phone.

    The Tokoroa range has target frames at 50yds, 100m and 200m. You just need to have a staple gun, drawing pins or tape to attach your targets.

    Just heading off there now to try some 150gr Woodleigh PSP in my .308. The huge pine forest deer around here can take some stopping.

    With regards to noise, the club is putting in sound deadening roof insulation soon, which should take out some of fhe ringing from the benches, and may well help with overall noise
