I'm out of town for the next week with only my phone. I'll post something when I get back.  

To temper expectations, my project involved replacing a poor performing ART polygonal barrel with a standard Lothar Walther rifled blank. All I did was machine it to fit.

It was a challenge for my level of skill and old machines, but turns out to have been well worth the effort.

Hey Namaman did you manage to find anywhere to shoot? I'm also looking for a place to throw some lead down range. I'm in the Halswell area]]> Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:35:53 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1235&PID=13943#13943 Air Gun Clubs : Low Score Targets - Taranaki Air Rifle Club www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1335&PID=13940#13940 Author: Myson

And what is really stunning is that the shooting above was done with a homemade barrel (!) by KiwiTR6 on his Red Wolf!!!

And the barrel hasn't even settled in yet!

Brilliant performance KiwiTR6!  Thumbs Up

Our club has recently introduced a new format target for our regular 25 yd indoor shoots - one of several we rotate through as we see fit at the time.  I thought this might be of interest to others who also shoot benchrest as we do here.

It's called the Low Score Target, the objective being pretty obvious. It's a combination of grouping and scoring with diagrams formatted accordingly, with a total of 36 shots per card.  The concept was formulated and developed by fellow forum member Mercs and myself.  

The basic rules are as follows:

Four shots per diagram, the central practice diagram to be shot first and can be substituted for any of the grouping/scoring diagrams.  Not compulsory, but you can't substitute if you don't shoot it.

The top diagrams generally follow directly after shooting the practice, scored on grouping size.  However, there is no specified sequence for these and the low score diagrams, only the practice.

The lower diagrams are inward scoring, a bull is 1, outside the rings is 10.  

A shooter must decide whether or not to substitute the practice diagram for one of the others prior to handing the card in for marking.

The group scores are then averaged and multiplied by the total of the four scored diagrams to get a total.  The lowest score obviously wins.

Examples shot yesterday in .22 cal.  Sing out if any further clarification is required.

Have a look for threads about pellet traps on this forum, there re a few good ones.
I know I posted one about my rubber mulch pellet traps. The most noise u hear is the pellet punching through the paper target.
I’ve even upgraded one of my rubber mulch pellet traps to safely catch and stop any .22LR round.]]> Tue, 12 Aug 2025 10:56:46 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1235&PID=12573#12573 Air Gun Clubs : Somewhere to shoot in Christchurch www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1235&PID=12571#12571 Author: namaman

Thanks for all the replies.
I may just start plinking in my back garden. making sure I have a good pellet trap in place. 
If the neighbours complain...well, I guess I'll see what happens.

Thanks again

You could join a TSNZ club and shoot the air rifle (instead of a rimfire .22).
I do that here in Richmond. I only shoot for the local club weekly competition (benchrest).
Wouldn't hurt to ask one of the local ChCh branches.
You will need to join and pay a fee, but it will be a lot cheaper and safer than driving all over the place looking for 'somewhere' to shoot.
