    @R93 They want to make sure you can hit the paper with 5 out of 5 shots at 25m. They guy two down from me only hit the paper about 7 out of 50 shots.

    Oh. Seems an unusual restriction.

    Is it due to range setup or something?

    As long as we don't break 180 it doesn't matter who can hit what😆

    Not sure why. Possibly because for the first 6 months you can pretty much only shoot on the 25m ranges and they don't want around exiting the range as it is reasonably busy around the range.

    Induction process for range and club.
    Something like, 9 shoots with 22 on issf. Then a few with 9mm on issf, then something else and then round the back for ipsc. The something else and pay for a holster course. Then you can shoot any range?

    It's only from memory, and I had a quick look on their web site, but couldn't find the full process. Would be keen on seeing it to.
    Also, what about visiting shooters from other ranges, how can you shoot there, restrictions etc....?
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    @Beaker that is about right. 7 shoots with .22 on ISSF range, then the 9mm COF which could be done the first go. Then the IPSC 9mm signoff. Haven't found out what that requires yet. Think there is also a range safety quizz before the 6 month thing. Then full member.

    I think visiting shooters are OK if signed in by a full member. If you didn't know anyone there then Club days when the armourer is there are wednesday 6 - 8pm or Sunday 9am - 12 noon. Don't know if there is a range fee for the day (they have eftpos there). If you are a full PistolNZ member B endoresement can't see there being too many problems if any.

    No restrictions on visiting members on club days that I know of, $10 from memory for mini matches any other time with a full member would be fine. That's the process we have always run, inductions can have up to 30 people at the moment so that still equates to at least half continuing with shooting so we need a process to build up skill set before venturing around the back to IPSC. Gives the RO's more of a personal look at each shooter too make sure they aren't a danger to others or themselves.

    I'll try and track down the full process and post it up.

    My gear from Gunsupplies turned up for the holster course, but they sent a LH holster instead of a RH one GRRRRRR!!!! The guy on the phone didn't seem too concerned. They are sending another one down, but it won't get here before Sunday. I've got to post the other one back now, no offer of a discount to cover the cost of the postage. I was probably going to buy a pistol from them, won't bother with that now. Oh well, they lose out on $1600 that someone else can have.

    What are you going to be shooting on Sun at the course ? I can let you borrow a Glock or a CZ Shadow holster for the morning ? .... I have a mate who is also doing the course so I could give to him tomorrow as were going down to do some painting and putting up some new gongs etc... and he could pass on to you before the course starts .
