Shooting range options

Hi guys. On the hunt for somewhere suitable for doing load development / sighting in. Im based in auckland, the auckland NZDA range is closed at the moment + the 200m hasnt been available even to us NZDA members in quite some time.

Recently i have been travelling down to taupo and using the NZDA taupo range as a guest, however its quite a way to go just to do load development & drive all the way home, and without becoming a NZDA taupo member i cant shoot the 200m either, so looking for options closer to home.

Im open to joining a club / paying a membership as i do a fair bit of shooting, or even happy to pay someone with a farm etc in the auckland area that has a suitable property for shooting on.

I have been looking online and the Tokoroa Shooting Complex looks like it could be a goer, does anyone else shoot there and know whats involved / if things still run the way they used to as far as being able to become a club member get a key and shoot whenever you need?

Open to ideas! Cheers

Auckland certainly is lacking in the range department. Have you considered the Waiuku range? Only 100m but considerably closer.

Have done yeah, but its a reasonable sum of money to become a member plus the yearly fee & still only 100m. If the tokoroa one is as good as it sounds and im able to join there, i dont mind the extra travel to be able to shoot 200m aswell.

I'm pretty sure North Auckland used to have a 200m firing point just depends which range is active.

My thoughts too. The TECT NZDA range goes out to 300m (with a 900m one in the works), have open days once a month where any FAL holder can pay to use with good range officers to support.

Tokoroa shooting complex. Once a member you pay subs and a key every year and can pretty much shoot any time
