Thread: Rifle, 3GUN and Pistol Shooting

Warkworth would be the 1st choice for regular shooting, but yup, there's a waiting list for membership. Man on Man competition in Jan is a hoot. And Hamilton and Waiuku pistol clubs also do some 3Gun, there's just a wee drive to get there.

The multigun currently popular isn't the same 3Gun seen in the US, each stage is shot with only 1 x firearm.But Man on Man comp uses all 3 guns on one stage, check out the video at :
The Warkworth Pistol Club


3Gun Nationals earlier this year (not me by the way).

Auckland Shooting Club is trying to set up decent 3Gun ranges, like Rotorua has, so alas you're just going to have to wait.

If you're after pistol training, pretty hard to go past Chris - Competition Guns Limited

Actually multigun in NZ is the same (actually similar some NZ specific changes) as the multigun run under the 3-gun nation rules set in the U.S. The distinction is between IPSC 3-gun (one firearm per stage) and the 3-gun Nation multigun (multiple firearms on one stage). Both rules sets exist in NZ however the multigun is pretty new (kind of) and a new RO system is being ironed out due to the complexities of running on of the matches.

At Waiuku there is only a couple of us that "regularly" shoot multigun or 3-gun. To really play the game you will really need your "E" endorcement and your holster qualification. I recommend shooting IPSC before trying multigun off the bat. While not essential it is a more graduated way of doing things. In term of coaching for multigun/3-gun there isn't really anyone that does it as a rule, normally you do your pistol training and a lot of the other stuff is an extension of that. Warkworth has the strongest concentration of capable 3G/multi shooters with a lot knowledge on gear etc.

Is Waiuku currently open to new members?
