I know Brian was keen to do some form of benchrest a while ago. You could hit him up, you never know.]]> Mon, 17 Feb 2025 15:50:23 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1164&PID=12069#12069 Major Target Shooting Events in 2025? : They would all be welcome ;-) www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1164&PID=12064#12064 Author: RangerPete

You'll have lots of visitors!

Auckland Air Rifle Club in Howick has introduced benchrest into the schedule, along with positional shooting at 25yards, and recently 10m air pistol as well. 
They meet most thursday evenings 7-10pm.

It would interesting to see what's out there for pcp/airguns. I know Auckland have a couple of clubs up that way.

I've never heard of anything in Wgtn for benchrest/fixed target shooting. When our FT club was operating we were considering benchrest at our Otaki range, but the the new regs bulldozed that and any gained interest.

There is the Keene range, a smallbore range in Petone, Wellington that welcomes air gunners one night a week. 

Otherwise I know a lot of other ranges totally snubbed air gunners after enquiries were made a few years ago. They just weren't prepared to even consider it. Quite snobbish, and very sad.

The range is having some construction work and seems delayed a bit. Looks like it is still unclear when the range will be fully available and how it works.]]> Mon, 10 Feb 2025 11:11:41 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1164&PID=12007#12007 Major Target Shooting Events in 2025? : We shoot silhouettes with pistols... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1164&PID=11999#11999 Author: KiwiTR6

We shoot silhouettes with pistols also.  

If there's no Island or national championships as such I'd be keen to attend a club champs if that's allowed so please post your calendar or details of how to access it.

North harbor airgun club do all three. Paper, Silhouettes and FT. They normally send me their calendar for the years shoots but i have not received one yet.

The only Silhouette shooting our club does is mainly pistol shooting.

I'm sure showing my ignorance!  

Paper targets are what we shoot at our club, 25yds indoors or 50m outside, both on small bore ranges.  We also do mirrored silhouettes indoors, but not FT.

Are there any competitions of this type anywhere in the country other than just Taranaki?
