    25m indoor smallbore
    50m blackpowder & outdoor smallbore
    200m Deerstalkers
    1000yds NRA
    IPSC pistol

    Naa VC, does not work that way I'm afraid. We only use the 1000yd range on Sat afternoons. And it is set distances as per the NRA/WRA calendar. This past weekend it was 600yds, next Sat is 900yds.

    Deerstalkers range is the only "casual" shooting range for anything from 50m to 200m

    Ah Bugger.
    We have range issues here. In forestry closed for fire danger,logging etc.
    No public or club range that Im aware of that you can shoot that far.

    The problem is you are in a city.

    This is also true but have nonetheless visited awesome urban shooting ranges in other international cities. Auckland lacks this though, it's crying out for one. If I won the national lottery, I'd build one.

    Actual shooting ranges are great. Belmont shooting complex in Brisbane for example. A bunch of rifle ranges, pistol ranges, clay targets plus a shop, bar, cafe, rental of guns, etc. Nice setup. Would be brilliant to have access to facilities like that in NZ. But we don't seem to have them anywhere.

    Shot at Belmont several times. It was tents and mud when I first went there. Now its pretty swish.

    Greymouth area has a 1000yrd/m range I think?
    Im lucky to have the family farms to bang away on.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.
