Apologies if this has been asked recently, but where are folks in Christchurch heading to sight their rifles out to 400m or more? I haven't been able to find out a great deal about the range in Tai Tapu that apparently went out to 1000 yards.
Thanks in advance
Ashburton has a range out to 700 yards its at Range Road Ashburton they are very helpful and accommodating they shoot most Sundays 13:00 hours start.
I think they are on facebook I am not so have a look.
I think they charge a $ 20.00 range fee, they have done a great deal of work on the range and have electronic targets you can use your phone to observe your shots on target in real time and also take screen shots of your results.
Tai Tapu last time I was there about two years ago they doubled the range fee to $ 40.00 (I did not shoot nor have I returned) no electronic targets long grass and cow shit on the firing points.
The Ashburton one only offer a 100 yard sight in.
The shooting out to 700yrds is the club shoot. Palma, F Open etc.
You cant shoot there without a ticketed range officer present due to the location.
Lake Lyndon...
Sparrowhawk down at Fairlie
Private and I do not know what they charge.
NZDA range on 2nd sat of each month

NZDA is only 50,100 & 200m
Close. For non members it is 25,50,75 and 100. For members who wish to, there is a 200m range that has a process to be followed before access is granted (Safety protocols etc)Quote:

Sparrow hawk is great for everything else out to over 2km
I understand there's a range near the ski fields that allows 50 BMG. Can anyone confirm as I can't find it..
50BMG,that's why you can't find it.
Sparrowhawk NZ has targets at over 2,000m. unless its an Open Day, call Nick (details on the website).
Shooting, sighting in or target shooting is not permissable under terms of the permit.Quote:

if DOC Canty catch you, they advised they will make a submission to the cops that you're discharging a firearm without permission of land owner.

This has been covered in length on this forum and the old one. Only a matter of time before someone gets nailed.Quote:
