But that's the thing and the point of it. You're meant to be an active pistol shooter to have your b licence, not just having it so you can have it and feel like going to the range is a burden, you're meant to be excited to go to the range.

I would disagree that over 20 years I was not "active" and after 20 years the novelty of "Shooting Pistols" had worn off. They are just another firearm like everything else. Still have my E though :D
I would also note that an "excited person" on a pistol range is a person I would prefer to be far away from.
I was slightly pissed off I had to sell my Open Racegun built for me and custom serial numbered but I managed to use the proceeds to buy a 725 shotty brand new 2 New Jiggin rods and my membership to a private sporting clays club so did OK in the end
Yeah with that kind of commitment to it your B should be grandfathered.
Don't have any Uploadable Pics, I did an article for my Std Gun in NzGuns in 200 something
Heres a shoot I went to though way back in 2007. Was fun

I love pistol shooting, but have found attendance hard to keep up some years due to working weekends and work travel making me have to use weekend days for family.right now I I'm not even in NZ enough weekend to keep it. I really miss nzhpc wed shoots from back in the day as it let me get two attendance in a week if not working on the weekend. the way different clubs count attendance varies a bit as well.Oh and I'm excited to shoot every time I do but its hard to-shoot pistols more out of NZ than in these days-its a pain having to get others to hold pistols for you
good on you gimp for sticking with it
Could you have got your C and transferred them across? Nothing like collecting race guns [emoji846]

I'm with you Mikee it's school boy stuff, oh you haven't been to the range so your interest in pistol shooting has waned? I can go months without shooting my rifles , so I should sell them all, what a load of BS it's all about control. If your fit and proper? C licence well that just means you'd have to shoot them illegally? Why?
Today I've learnt what a "race gun" is I think....

I would love a "B" but resigned myself to it never happening due to the attendance requirements.
