Ok Guys, the Waikato Rifle Club may suit some of you. Location is a farm on Scotsman Valley road - Please email
waikatorifles@gmail.com for more information
We shoot every 3rd Sunday of the month, the morning session is dedicated to Service Rifle practice and involves actual match conditions for NZSRA Style shooting (
New Zealand Service Rifle Association). The afternoon session is designed for people who need to sight in or do their own practice. In both cases the range is run with a range officer in charge - it is not a free for all - it is controlled shooting sessions. Range goes out to 200(ish) yards.
The Otorohanga club is an NRA long range club (F-Class, etc etc) - it is very good (they have cool electronic targets) but it is not suited to sighting in there. They are only open half of the year (summer months) - you may PM me for more details - ranges goes to 1000 yards.
Hamilton Pistol club also has a 50 metre (.223 only - at this stage) certified range but you need to be a Pistol Club member to shoot there. This means going through the process to get your B endorsement (approx 8 months). The beauty of this is that the club is available everyday (mostly) - If you want to try Pistol Shooting newbie nights are on Wednesday starting at 6pm.
