Thread: Another newb in North Canterbury

Hey all

I finally convinced the wife to let me get my FAL, and I'm (almost) all set up now so super keen to get amongst it!

First up, I'm looking for somewhere to sight in my secondhand Remington 700 .270. I know I could go down to the club at McLeans Island, but please let me know if there's a local spot that's cheap/free to shoot at.

Next, I'm eager to find some local hunting grounds and/or companions for weekend expeditions. I'm not looking for trophies, just some stalking experience with hopefully a bit of meat for the family. I'd wondered about starting with Puketeraki, but if you've got any other suggestions for places I'm likely to pick up a deer or pig, I'd be interested. I don't mind a bit of a hike or having to rough it.

All the best, hopefully I see you out there soon.

Cheers, Rob
