Thread: Taupo range

Taupo is an excellent range , I've shot there my whole life - Hell , My grandfather even donated all the concrete for the mounds and the smallbore range when he was running Firth Taupo a fair few years ago.

I've made some excellent memories meeting people at that range , and shit , I never would've me one of my best buddies if it hadn't been for a chance encounter on that range.

I've taught people how to shoot on that range , I've experienced all sorts of shooters and enthusiasts on that range from PRS guys to Cowboy action shooters.

It's not uncommon for people who are on holiday to Taupo from other parts of the North Island to bring their hunting rifles to zero while they're in town.

If the NZDA get precious about who can use the range , It'll be a real shame.

I've not experience unsafe behaviour on that range at any time , over what must have been hundreds of range trips.






I'll be interested to see how NZPOL start to regulate the ranges. If anything It will just take away ranges like this , and remove a safe place for people to practice.

SF70 will be a range in no time!!
