Thread: G'day from up in Auckland

Hi everyone,

New member on board, looking to get into a bit of hunting. Been shooting at range for a little while now and recently treated myself with a Tikka so looking for opportunities to use it soon to get a deer.

Cheers
AA

Welcome!

Hey AA where have you been shooting?

Come and visit us at North Auckland Deer Stalkers :-) there are a few of us from the forum there.

Welcome. Bunch of good fullas on here.

Hope you got the right Calibre of Tikka ...

Someone please tell altamash what we are on about.

I go to Howick range for weekly rimfire shoot. Yeah been thinking about coming along for a visit to NZDA range. Already sent the membership application form to NZDA but haven't heard back yet.

Best to contact North Auckland or Auckland branches directly, as National Body never replied to my membership query email in 2005.

Phew... if you had said 7mm-08, you would never live it down.

A Tikka T3 in 7mm-08 is known as the Ponsonby latte sipping, sun bed tanned, man bagged Jafa's rifle.

I sent the membership form to North Auckland branch directly on their PO Box address. I am in contact with their secretary at the moment and following it up.
