Hey all, looks like we will be OK for our annual May fly in, but as we are due to go next Wednesday, I won't have access to the range to sight in/ check zero. Would probably only need about 5 shots. Anyone have a spot in the bay of plenty that could work?
Would rather not do it at the hut as the area has been undisturbed for 6 odd weeks, and want to make the most of this. Failing that does anyone know what the status is of the Taupo range and level 2? Tect range is closed AFAIK.
Cheers.
Should ad, big favour so many beers or even a custom knife in return.....
Our NZDA range is supposed to be open in level 2, so I imagine Taupo would be.
I think theres a honesty box there, from memory.
Where in the bay are you

Hey Nick. Might be able to do during the week also.
@Nick-D how many metres you need? Pop over here if it works for ya
Where do you BOP guys shoot load development and sight in rifles, I'm not aware of any shooting range close to Whakatane where I am?
I am about an hour away from Tauranga over the hill, bang away all day if you want to...6.5 Creedmoor was sighted in here yesterday, natural light and slight breeze should have cleared any contamination.
Rotorua NZDA has a excellent range at Lake Tarawera. Stopped my membership because of health issues but thinking of renewing it again
Think the nzda range closed until level 2 is announced.
Its a very good range. 50, 100, 200 and 300 metres.
Ive got mates that have a block out te puna ways if youre still in trouble flick me a text on 0275015116 and ill put through a call. Cant promise anything. Cheers
That tarawera range is amazing. Went there with some mates years ago and actually met @Woody there.

Got a 800 range with a bit more warning too bro
Ha ha. Yep. Got the ok from farmer to access the creek so thats where Ive been all day :) :)
Rebuilt the mainai boat shelter then laid some metal grills in the mud so I can swing on them thar birds without winding my stuffed knees up like bloody corkscrews and missing.
Cut back some obstructive willows and got stung mightily by nettles. By golly its great to be back in the swamp ! Parries mallards pukes and goosies all said hello and even my old friendly swan is still there :)
Might be able to make Te Puke this Saturday too :) Might give the 30-06 a blow. Ha ha
Rotorua NZDA range is open at level 2, but only on weekends between 10am and 2pm this is for members only, we have people at the gate taking names and phone numbers. This will remain until contact tracing is no longer required, then the range can open as normal.

We had a good day at Te Puke rifle club on saturday shooting 300 & 600 yards. Theyll be shooting there again coming saturday as far as I know.
