    Not much difference actually.

    Club has to be an incorporated society

    Club promotes shooting comps

    Club has rules for membership

    Range has to be certified

    Range has standing orders

    Range has range officers.

    Same range commands are used.

    Club & Range have to be recognised by the Police

    Main difference is the different types of competitions available at each club.

    And the Non PNZ clubs are not bound by PNZ rules or decisions.

    Cheers

    I didn't think it was legally possible for a pistol club to exist in NZ without being affiliated to PNZ since the 'memorandum of understanding' that allows pistol shooting was/is between PNZ and the police?
    PNZ range certifier's are the only certifier's that the police will accept from my dealings of setting up a new range a couple of years back.

    It's legal, the police just aren't keen on it and you will need to meet all the same requirements as any other pistol club and range.
