	Unfortunately interested slowly died. We were shooting FT at 643 in Palmy, then tried getting an alternate range in Otaki. We were starting to get a bit more interest, but then the new regs came into effect and made it far to expensive for our small club to continue. There is a remnant that shoot at a private range in Palmy, and there is also the Keene range in Petone that airguns can shoot at on a Wednesday. I believe NRC continues, but no airgun activity there. Did you have a TX200? I think I remember you.

	Yes Paul, the Otaki one was great, It's a pity the Rules & Regs around groups shooting on private land weren't more transparent (or workable )

	Hi Paul, yep I’m Lachlan. Had/have a TX200 and an HW95. Used to ride a bike to the club meets up at Grenada North. I was thinking of getting a pcp after my licence renewal next year. Bit of a shame about the clubs, and the new rules regarding them.

	Hi everyone, I am a new member of this site and recently moved to Levin. I hunt and fish but now pretty old and like to shoot 10 meter air pistol. Hard to find a club around here and wonder if anyone around here, Levin/ Otaki etc. would be interested in getting one up and going. Appreciate any thought's. Cheers.
