Does anyone know of a good range in the Franklin/South Auck. area? Blasting away in the back paddock's fun but the neighbours often grazing cows close to my targets so shootings out of question a lot of the time.[/B][/B]

theres the Waiuku pistol club
They wouldn't get out of sorts with a 308 blasting away?
Shouldn't do, non-members are permitted to visit Saturday 1200-1600. Best to book in advance by sending an email to the address linked to below.Quote:

Definitely need to book in advance. Club now has over 400 members and although obviously they don't all front up together it can get hectic.Quote:

either book or go with a club member
WPC sounds handy with the ability to shoot mid week, but ouch :
Joining fee $200
Adults under age 60 $250
Range key $20
Club badge $5
I paid about $260.00
Clevedon is shut until October, but often they are shooting 500 yards plus.
Does anyone know what stage the new Ardmore range is resource consent application wise?
Cheers, Just had a nosy at there website. Looks worth a go.
No idea since the last I heard was at a meeting at Howick a couple of years ago..Even their website hasn't been updated since 2008 :-(Quote:

Waiuku is worth it, considering the weekday shooting that can be had.
I have just paid my sub, a week later they courier your badge and range key to you. I dont have a problem with a 300wm and 375 h & h like some other ranges around Auckland.
I thought Waiuku was closing down due to sub division of the land and neighbours complaining (Western Springs syndrome)

With all the hard work the committee has put in dragging the club back from the brink, and Rescource Consents etc, why give the anti- brigade the ammunition ( pun intended) they need to complain.Quote:
