Thread: NZDA worth joining.

I am a member.
I am a member mainly for range access as Nelson has one of the best NZDA ranges in the country.
Unfortunally range access has become a lot more difficult over the last couple of years and as a result I have pretty much stopped shooting.....which means my kids have stopped shooting too.
Dont get me wrong Nelson still has a great range and reasonable access compared to other regions but access has gone from basicly daylight hours access to having to be let in and out of forestry at certain times on weekends...which unfortunatly does not fit my life with kids and a wife working odd hours.

Nelson Nzda also appeared to be improving relationships with the DOC which I applaud with hunts being run in high number areas of pest animals with I think the dept footing the chopper bill tho I could be off the mark there.

Good hunts courses are run.

Good meetings with good guest speakers on intersting topics are regular but due to my family life I can rarely attend.

If say you had just got your lisence at 16 and turned up at a meeting no doubt you would think wow what a bunch of old pricks at a meeting but all are approchable and willing to share.

All corresponance is sent via email and that does not suit me.

I check email maybe twice a year...if I remember.

I am not an "active" member tho I could be, I just need notice.

The relevant people have my number.

Txt or ring I never look at emails you know who you are.
