The firearm thread

[jono035]

That's some good news RE: the range there, Mr M. You know what would really appeal to me (and a few other people I shoot with on occasion) - some sort of casual shooting arrangement, i.e. where outside or 'organised club shoots' it would be possible for members to rock on up and use some of the facilities to do sighting in or basic practice, intead of having to rely on a strict access regime of "every other Sunday and the occasional Thursday" or similar.

RE: BBQ, pretty much anything works for me, I will adjust to suit.

Yeah, access at CSI is like that and it is excellent to be able to cruise along whenever. It's also good to be able to shoot in whatever strings you feel like rather than waiting on everyone to finish before bringing the targets back.

It can be a real bastard though, especially depending on what kind of facilities are offered or if there are any limits placed on when and how the range can be used...

I'm good for the 5th too... Providing I can get some ammo together in time!

5th will be bloodly fantastic for me too

Right, which leaves Alex, DM, JRandom from last shoot, Wolf and MDU from the absentees list?

And of course the final yay or nay from hosts

Edit: JDK - you said you couldn't drive there and back in a day, well there has already been the gracious offer of a place to kip, so that gives you 2 full days! Google maps reckons about 20 hours... That gives you a few hours of shooting, an hour to eat, a few hours of sleep and back within 48 hours!

5th I can do as far as I can tell - barring some really nasty unforeseen circumstances. The bike should be all go by then - here's hoping there will be no more unpleasant surprises.

I have a B cat licence but unfortunately not in your area.

There are some pistol clubs down Napier way and in Kati Kati, Taupo.

What do you want to know. Just ask away here and we will try and answer your questions. Some of them sensibly.

Going by your avatar pic, I'd've thought knives were more your thing.

You only need a class B licence if you store your pistols at home and transport them to/from the club/range.

All the best in finding a club in your area, it's a great sport to participate in. Most clubs have pistols available for those who do not have their own.
