Anyone rural around north auckland willing to let me come try out my new rifle.?
Bloody Aucklanders are snobs @Bunker plenty of free range area down country will help you out.:D
Riverhead nzda range will see you right
$120 just become a member
There is the north auckland nzds range also. Just in between Coatesville and Riverhead.
What are the hours..? cause this weekend only stuff doesnt work for me :(
I have places to shoot .22's supressed etc... but none of them are keen on anything bigger and un-suppressed.. killjoys :(
Hi Bunker. Check out www.waiukupistolclub,co,nz/. You can shoot there from Wednesday to Sunday, incluisve, as a visitor, for $20.00 per visit, but check out their website to get all the details. Longest ranges are 100yds, so a bit limited, but a good club and sheltered benches.
Cheers Keneff - will certianly look into them...
Barefoot - Not sure what your problem is.. like your pickin a fight for no reason... if anything im respectful, why im allowed to continue shootin .22's supressed on there property's, just a bummer they arent keen on anything larger... so just relax mate.. and frankly its people like yourself who make forums and groups like this highly uninviting..
I think, most of us get what Bunker is saying, he's just wanting to know if anyone has a place available that he can try out. I'm positive he's not trying to provoke or upset anyone, if you read his post he is simply wanting to try out his new firearm.
Can't blame a guy for asking. Frankly I'd probably do the same thing he has. - my 2cents. :)
What part of i cant do weekends dont you understand.? you know i totally regret coming onto these forums... yeah there's a few good guys on here, like u others who seem to understand where im coming from.. but as per usual, a few ruin it for the rest... im out.. Peace
Geez, nice one guys. :wtfsmilie:
I thought I was on FnH forum for a bit judging by the comments.
Give the whole Auckland shit a rest. It was old a long time ago.
Yes I know it's a piss take but something original would be refreshing.
As for bunker when one of your first post's is asking for a place to shoot on in an urban/semi rural area like Auckland you're always going to run into issue's.
Best bet is to try and build a good report with people here first but unfortunately it looks like you've already burnt your bridges with some of the very generous people who aloud me to shoot and participate with activities on their land.
I was in the same boat as you are Bunker.
Bought a rifle few years ago, thought about finding a rural property to shoot on but the time spent on doing that wasn't worth it. instead I spent $30 went to the NZDSA on a Saturday I believe it was, a fellow shooter offered to help out and sight in the gun as I was a complete newbie, the range person there was very friendly too.
I understand you are busy on weekends, tho it may be worth freeing up couple of hours to visit them if all else fails - if you are just going to sight in your gun.
Alternatively, I'm happy to join you on a drive around to respectfuly knock on some doors around rural Auckland as I'd be keen to shoot my future gun too.
If that fails, we'll drive to Dundee for a bomb up. LOL
Anyone is more than welcome to shoot here got a 200 and 500yrd gong set up.
Unfortunately unless you personally know someone paying to play is just what you have to do near the main centers if you don't have a lot of time to door knock.
Range membership that lets you shoot not on weekdays sounds like what the op needs. At aprox $150 a year you would want to use it a couple of times though to get value from it. Having worked weekends a lot I discovered week days are the better time to go to ranges anyway as a lot less time spent waiting for others to do there thing
Shit yea some grumpy buggers around....
Geeze what a pack of arseholes in this thread. I'd be out too if this was my first experience.
This thread reminded me of the reasons I stopped posting anything constructive on hunting forums and may well be one of my last posts.
It seems to me all the good buggers sit back and watch while all the keyboard warriors go at one another trying to prove their worth.
I thought these forums were about helping others, enjoying hunting reports and helping contribute towards CONSTRUCTIVE hunting and shooting discussion but obviously I was mistaken.
It's still the winter months too I think, seems not enough getting outside and absorbing that vitamin D goodness.
Next month or two everyone will be cheery again.
Or maybe he is just lazy , what is the solution to the problem ?. Should all ranges have someone sit on their arse all day waiting for someone to turn up . While not being paid ,remember I would say all ,ranges are run by volunteers .
Whinning because you cannot get something to fit in with "me " are merely the actions of a child . No-one is Entitled to anything .
And more to the point you have no idea what I have done ,and neither am I interested in advertising it .
Not sure if bunker or yourself are aware but there's a few ranges where if your a member you have access without range officer's, your given a key when you sign up and can go along whenever suits during open hours. Even during the week.
Some are even just honesty system with gold coin.
But thanks for reiterating my point.
I would like to point out.. i never dogged the shooting ranges.. just said there hours dont work for me... hence why im on here asking around, which logically seems like the right place to ask.. (apparently not)... i have no idea what your guys problem is... this is totally surreal..
Piss takes .....surely....[emoji15][emoji15]
