Yes....mate at work thinks his archery club will see more and more ppl hunting with a bow to avoid the costs. 54R AX ammo just jumped to $43 for 20 in my local shop....I dont think I'll be buying it there....

This seems the most appropriate thread to post this link in as it relates to Waikato Police.

Lock those guns up or lose them | Stuff.co.nz

Interesting to note the use of the words;"......Police also recommend removal of a part of the gun (such as the bolt) which will ensure that if it is stolen at least the gun can not be used by the thief or any other criminal who may acquire it....."

Sadly, another example of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing......................

In NSW you always needed a FAL to buy goddam airgun pellets. I wouldn't be surprised if they require a body cavity search and pre-emptive tazing (just to remind you who is the boss)
