Thread: Rifle, 3GUN and Pistol Shooting

Auckland Shooting Club



Perspective of how big it will be when compared to current clubs.

Yes it's the same and yes he still does pistol training but shooting options at APC are quite restricted now with only 1 person per range and limited time. Best option is to drop Chris a line, but the shooting season is coming to a peak now with North Island Champs this weekend, South Island Champs next month, then Nationals in November.

I have contacted them but a friend who is a member is pretty sure they are full-up.

Is anyone here a member of a club in or around Auckland that preferably shoots pistol, that is taking new members at the moment?
I have emailed a number now and had no relpy at all. Any insight or info much appreciated. It seems everyone is full-up?

Auckland pistol club is always taking members but given the restrictions in place you would really need to ask them what is happening. When I joined you just jumped in to the training right away with other people at varying stages of their training. Usually you were within one to about a max of 5 weeks difference in training.

Since then I think they have moved to different intakes a number of times a year so that everyone in training is at the same level. I can see how that makes sense.

So find out when the next intake is. They do training on saturdays and I have seen new people coming through on the club match days so it must be happening.

It's addictive! I am also building up for multigun, it will add a bit of fun but I will say, for a guy who has always shot rifles the fun is in the pistols for me.
