I am not currently a member of the NZSRA but i had thought they might be a good one to talk to. Pity they don't have a club over in New Plymouth.

Based on the opinions of a couple of people i have talked to, i don't think the NZ NRA will want a bar of the long range steel shoots.

Having run 20+ field shoots we have only ever broken even on two events - and one of them only cause Malcolm managed to win some prize money. We aren't in it to make money but that is with charging entry fees. Can you imagine donations...


Reading the regulations i wouldn't be surprised if the exemption for clubs, associations and schools get removed sometime in the future. Such is the nanny state we live in.
