    Good judgement is the key to safe use of firearms.

    Then you'll have to learn the local lingo.

    Auckland North Shore is actually know locally as Little Durban for obvious reasons.

    You'll fit right in.

    Welcome too.

    Cheers

    when i was in NZ the last time i spent alot of time in Pakaranga ( Half Moon Bay) Beautiful area , loved it down there , but it will be a little far to get to my proposted area of employment .

    looking forward to the move , and to getting shooting in NZ .
