Thread: New Shooter Looking at McLeans Island Shooting Club

Hi all,

Finally finished my vetting and planning where to go to practice using a .22 rifle to get confident in using a rifle. I am looking at heading to McLeans Island Shooting Club (NZ Handloaders) and am curious if I can just rock up once I get my license and just get a feel for how everything works. I don't have any one in my area with a license to show me the ropes so just looking for some advice on how to get started at a range.

If I do go there for the first time with a new rifle I have never fired, do you think it's possible I would get assistance for my first time? I feel like I might be over thinking it and I should be good to just rock up on a public night, pay the fee and away I go. I just haven't had the experiance yet.

Any advice/feedback is appreciated.
