Wow, the Kapiti based spearo's / hunters are everywhere.....another one here

Kapiti NZDA branch are fantastic. The range officers are a wealth of knowledge, and are happy to share techniques etc to get the most out of your range time.
The Kapiti Range is a little "rustic" aka shooting mounds in a farm paddock, but accommodates shooting out to 300M. More suited to hunting type disciplines, than benchrest.

As for first gun - Suppressed .308 will do everything you want in NZ. Lots of choices for factory ammo, not too heavy on the recoil, and can be cut short if bush hunting is your thing.
