Thread: Hello, new to Auckland

I am keen to get back into hunting deer or similar around Auckland rather than waiting for the rare times I get back to the Bay. I have my own rifle, a savage .308, and do have some experience hunting, tramping and carrying heavy loads :-)

If anyone can advise me on day or overnight spots handy to Auckland that would be much appreciated. Im also keen on range time and if anyone needs a hunting pal some day I may be keen. I work split weekends currently but have some flexibility.

Anyway, hope to hear from some of you and perhaps make some new mates!

Sam

Welcome mate.
I'm a Red and Black supporter stuck in Jaffaville... although after 9 years here, I'm not sure what I am!

You are welcome to tag along on trips or when ever I head out to the rifle ranges.

I'm new to NZ shooting, i have no weapons yet but i'm looking into purchasing an AR10 .308 after all the license procedures are complete I would like to get into the F-TR style of shooting.

Hope to see you on the range soon.

Cheers

Welcome Shawn.

PS, Are you aware of the Arms Amendment Bill 2013 which came into force on 11 December last year?
It impacts on the AR style rifles with a free standing pistol grip.

Thank you, Dogmatix yes I've read up on it a bit. hopefully when i go for my A-cat license i can get a bit more info on how to go about the E-Cat license.

Thx

Welcome Sam, you can carry my deer out anytime you want....well, when i finally get one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
