Thread: Where can I shoot my semi-auto shotgun?

Around Tauranga I think you'd need to know someone with a farm, orchard or forestry block and who will let you have a bomb-up in a back gully or forestry skid.

I lived there 30 years ago and even then it was difficult to find a place to have a blat... there were a few road-ends, forest access tracks and illegal tip sites I used but I wouldn't risk it now. The Western BOP is so closely settled nowadays and unlike Canterbury and Otago there are no wide gravelly riverbeds or scrubby wastelands in Crown ownership.

Join a club would be the best idea... there's a good chance you'll meet others who enjoy a bit of informal shooting.
