    Sighting in a rifle - help please!

    Hi guys!
    Does anybody of you know a place near Timaru/Pleasant Point, where I could sight in a rifle.
    Basically I would only need to do 2 or 3 control shots!
    Help would be highly appreciated!

    Cheers Littlemorepork

    Invercargill Rifle Club. You need an RO but one of us is usually about for casual visits, or Wednesday evenings is sighting in.
