Just remember that the entire South Island has a population less than our one big city of Auckland. It is one of the more endearing features of the South Island. But it can be frustrating with the lack of bricks and mortar shops, especially with respect to specialist hobbies/sports.

I am sure someone will be able to point you at a farmer who is happy for you to poke holes in targets somewhere close

That's exactly what I'm looking forward to. I'm from a small farm town and it's still holding on, trying to stay small. I'm a country type of guy and love the peacefulness of it. Where I live now is growing so fast, it's just a concrete jungle but I'm still able to drive 20-30 minutes and be into the mountains at least. Still, all the traffic keeps my anxiety on high haha Doesn't help I work on power poles right on all the busy roads!

I'll definitely have to knock on some doors. I'm arriving late now, flights been delayed and then canceled. Stuck in Los Angeles, California at the moment! ��
