Ha ha ha. Shit stirrers were booted out of the club and a few others followed them to form CNIGC. Rotorua must have got sucked in as no one else is keen for them to shoot on their ranges after the bullshit hassles they caused for BOP service rifle club.

Actually, reading through your posts almost looks like you are just having a whinge against the NZDA TECT range. The info you originally asked about would be available on the clubs website, or from the clubs committee, so why post general info questions about it on here, and then start slagging it it off?? Go and set up your own club or range then if that is the sort of crap you are into. Whinging-Willies-Wifle-Wange could be an appropriate name...... Fkn lol.....

Hi Kaimai Views!
my Name is Warren Fitzsimmons, I am the President of CNIGC.
Fletch pretty much nailed the reply that I was going to give, but i would like to add a few points.
1. I was a member at Awakeri Shooting Federation, one of the main reasons BOPSRA was asked to leave was noise... 20-30 guys shooting semi autos all day does make a racket, and the farm that ASF is on is actually being split up and sold. the Pistol club is actually closing also. nothing to do with any "members" or stuff that was alleged to have happened. Bopsra was asked to leave months and months prior to its members being told... I know because I was on the committee and Syd told me...
2. we were not kicked out... we made a conscious decision to leave and start a club that wanted to grow Service Rifle shooting... elements among the older members at BOPSRA wanted to keep it a closed "old boys club"... we intend to grow SR shooting... at the end of the day BOPSRA has a stack of cash in their bank account... and to some of the older members it was all about the money, and not wanting to lose control of it... we left... we choose to make our own club with democratic values... BOPSRA is anything but. we have more X BOPSRA committee members at CNIGC than members that shoot at BOPSRA now!!!
3. Everyone reading this now is welcome to come and shoot with us anytime... we want to grow SR shooting... believe what you actually see... not lies and rumors spread by some rejected grumpy old men... Please email me me for times and dates of when we are shooting.

Kind Regards
Warren Fitzsimmons
President CNIGC
