    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

    So I rocked up to the club this morning just after nine. I was the first person there so went about my business shooting pistol and AR15. I was the only one using the range I was on. We could do with a loading table down at the ranges and somewhere to park your kit but other than that, fuck I had fun dumping lead down range. @Beaker @Tommy we need to get coordinated. Breakfast, bangs, beers, anything is possible.

    I actually had an idea re loading tables. The older shape Honda CRV (all of which are dying of rust right about now) has a cool feature: The plastic tray that covers the spare wheel well in the boot doubles as a picnic table, and they are made really fucking well. I'm going to see if I can get a few off the wreckers with the next bits I have to order. They fold really flat (prob under an inch thick), and much tougher than any warehouse jobbie.

    I picked up as much as an old man can before he runs out of bending and left it and the 9mm shells in a neat pile by the recycling bin for anyone that wanted it. I am not a reloader, will never be a reloader and am definitely of the leave it where it lies ilk everywhere except at a range where I try to pick up as worn out eyes, knees and hips allow. I should probably invest in one of those baskety catchy thingamabobs that I see some people using but even that seems silly if I am then just going to tip them out on the ground. The club could benefit from a used brass bin on the corner of each range as well. That way it could resell my once used brass.

    Will anyone here be shooting during the week? I have done my induction and booked in for Pistol Training and the Rifle and Shotgun Course. (I am a complete novice - first range I have been a member of) Would be great to meet some new people and get a bit of experience off some more seasoned shooters. At the induction everyone seemed to know everyone aside from me haha.

    Tim, when are you thinking? I will be going during the week occasionally.

    Great to see you have got in to the pistol training course. Remember that having booked in to 'basic 01' you will want to book in to basic 2,3 and then intermediate 1, 2 and 3 over the following weeks.

    I am pretty flexible with work so could go whenever really.
    I have my Rifle and Shotgun Basic Course booked for the 22nd, and first Pistol training the following month. Once ive done the R&S course I will be keen to head out there during the week/weekends to get in some practice.

    I'll probably be heading up there mid week fairly frequently for the next six weeks or so.

    I see the club in the news again.
    People really need to get a friggen life. Protesting a shooting range that has no effect on the weirdos.

    I didn't know the range was on private land?
    Sound check went well didn't it?

    Protesters now pulling the local iwi card I see.
    You would think weirdos that meditate would honour the rights of others to meditate by burning some powder.
