Thread: Hello from Auckland

Hello all, Ive been lurking around for a little bit now but thought I would formally introduce myself. My name is Christophe, I live in Coatesville Auckland and I am a student. I love everything firearm/military related and I am also an avide freediver. Im yet to go on a hunt but I am super keen. Ive been shooting for a few years but am in the process of getting my own license now. I would say my passion is long range precision shooting but I love it all, I am also happy to awnser/help anyone who has questions on long range shooting.

Cheers
Christophe

When I was a teenager a "freediver" was someone who had sex without the use of a condom...is this still the case or has some other group stolen the word?
So what have you been using so far in your pursuit of precision long range shooting?

Welcome to the forum mate....

@Spook was known as Harry the muff diver when he was a lad

Haha no im talking about "Freediving, free-diving, or free diving is a form of underwater diving that relies on a diver's ability to hold his or her breath until resurfacing rather than on the use of a breathing apparatus such as scuba gear." One of my mates has a rem 700 in 300 win mag in a mdt chassis, have been going out with him and using that.

Thanks. Haha

Welcome you hirsute citrus. What sort of range are you shooting out to? There are plenty of opportunities to go bush on here.

Haha thanks. The longest range we had access to was 1200m on a relatives farm, unfortunately we are no longer able to shoot there :/ but we had some good fun out at those ranges. I cant wait to go for a hunt, I just love the idea of everything around it. Harvesting your own meat, going bush etc all that good stuff

I'll let you know the next time I am heading away

Good point

Welcome HairyLemon.

Plenty of long range types on here, so you've come to the right place.
If you want to get in some LR practise close to the city, Clevedon Rifle Club shoot over the summer from 100m to 1000m (or was that yards?).
