Thread: Where can i shoot my ar15

I went to an afternoon casual shoot which is quieter than the mornings I understand but really enjoyed my afternoon there. My 10 cents worth anyway...Cheers all

I done the same on the sunday before last in the afternoon.
Exactly the same experience, and my kids loved it.
I will pop in this Sunday morning (hopefully no idiots) as busy in the afternoon, again with the kids and hopefully have another good experience...
(my AR may stay home as still waiting for scope mount to arrive )

Yea i agree the 338LM muzzle breaked is F*&(ing loud and spits shit up at you if you help your mate out with sighting, anyway if you got a 308win long gun or bigger cal with a muzzle break take that to then just ask "if i can't shoot my AR then can i shoot this please?"

The couple of times I've been up the RO's have always been good. Even when busy.
They have a pretty hard job, and if they are being over zelous, remember that they are doing it with your safety in mind.
The unfortunate reality of a public range is that they have to cater to the lowest common denominator.

Show a little respect and you will get a little respect, then can blast away to you hearts content.

north Auckland nzda www.nads.org.nz fine with semis alough there are 2 main rules

1 contain your brass ie a brass catcher or the likes or anything that stops hot brass hitting the shooter next to you
2 NO rapid fire

Oh if you have ever been in the military on the range the safety is so strict and any fuck ups is met with serious consequences like being charged or made to run up and down hills. The safety side of it is drummed in constantly before you even get to touch live rounds. One is so shit scared of fucking up or even shooting on the wrong target all in all it is very tightly controlled and you learn to treat a weapon as always loaded.

Sorry to Necro this thread - but fuck, just reading the comments made me chuckle pretty hard. Good memories of being on Old Class Range in Waiberia. Good times, good times.

It will be on the Off Topic section but the easiest way to find it would be to search old soldiers on the forum front page top right.

Some nostalgia for you @Daggers_187 here's Old Class from a few months ago...





Not a lot of call for it these days, they rarely use more than a dozen of the frames there, and mostly 300m and less...
