    North Canterbury Rifle range

    Im down in Cust (between Oxford and Rangiora) at the moment visiting family and have just had some work done to my rifle at gun works and would like to zero it back in. Are there any easy options available in this area?

    Thanks

    Being an ignorant North Islander I had ever hear of Cust but I soo on Googlemaps that it is just before Omer which makes sense now that I know it.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That $25 is club rules, otherwise you would have to pretend to be my Mrs, don't keep a blonde wig in the wagon.

    Yep that was me just taking the piss (something I rarely do) but I was tucked up in bed when yo didn’t make the connection and riflegus pointed you in the right direction. By all means use it.

    I’d like to say a big thank you to @Moa Hunter for letting me send a few rounds done his range. Got the not so well grouping federal factory ammo onto paper and learnt a few tips along the way.

    It was a great pleasure to meet such a decent, well balanced and straight forward young man. A thankyou to this forum for providing the introduction. You are welcome here at any time Ben
