    Hi all newbie looking at getting into service shooting, help?

    Hi I'm new to this forum so I thought I'd better introduce myself, I'm a mad keen fisherman which has been my main interest for my 42 years. I started shooting in the late 70's with my grandfather at boys town in Auckland but never really got into it till I was 20 mainly air riffles, I still shoot air as I find it a challenge, I've developed a bit of a gun addiction haha my latest is a mod3 stag arms in .223. I live in Mt Maunganui and I want to get into service riffle shooting dose anybody know of anywhere in the Bay of Plenty that dose it? I've heard of some guys in Kawerau that do it but can't find any info on who or where so any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll sign out with a list of my riffles I'd love to post some pic's but dont know how as yet:-)

    Welcome GK. I cannot answer you question but I am sure that someone on here will be able to
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    It is now BOP service Rifle, we are no longer associated with IMAS. Shoots are on the 2nd weekend of every month, the next shoot is on the 9th Feb. Anyone is welcome to come along, I already know of another new shooter coming along and there has been quite a few new guys turning up who have bought an AR and want an excuse to shoot more. The shooting takes place at the Awakeri shooting range

    Any questions you can PM me.

    True. One of the good reasons to play with the AR is at service rifle matches. You will see all types of configurations and some very fast accurate shooting.
