just out of interest is the small bore club at Murumuru still going shot at a hall out from Frasertown on way to lake - and is there still a Wairoa full bore club - won C Grade full bore Wairoa championships on the old range over the hill on way to Morere - but we are going back - late sixties early seventies

The ardkeen hall is still set up and the .22 are still around but haven't been used in about 15 years, I know the range you are talking about it was the army training one haven't been down there but been told the remains of the range are still there

well thanks for reply - one cant repeat ones young days can one - some great victory's for Barry at those clubs and ranges

You are going WELL back
No, hasn't been one for at least 30yrs. You would have shot with Earl Brownlie?

In fact, there is no NRA range north of Napier until you hit Te Puke. Gisborne lost their range end of last season.
