    Type a search into Google. There is a few. I was looking for an indoor one to sight an air rifle in during a period of crappy windy weather and saw a few. Bay view and pukowhai spring to mind. Think was one to south side of Hastings as well.

    Greetings,
    It would help if you stated what sort of rifle you have. To my knowledge, for centre fire, there are no ranges you can just turn up to. The one west of Roys Hill, aka the gravel pit, that you can book through Rivers to Ranges is your best bet. Other ranges are club members only. If this sounds dire it could get worse from June next year when rifle ranges need to be registered so join a shooting club.
    Regards Grandpamac.
