Registration will open on 30th January, and enquiries should be forwarded to the primary email address listed, but registrations made using the form at the bottom of this page. You should apply for your visitor’s license for PCP air rifles to the New Zealand Police anytime from now onwards as we are advised the process will take in excess of one Month.


The Venue:
Brookfield Scout Camp, Wellington, New Zealand

The New Zealand Airgun Field Target Association are pleased to invite you to attend the 2014 World Field Target Championships.

This event will be held in Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand.

The Brookfield Scout Camp is a multisport venue and as well as hosting the course has on-site accommodation for over a hundred. The course winds through a mixture of open field and native bush. Accommodation in basic cabins at very low cost is available to entrants upon application at time of registration. The accommodation is available for several days prior to the commencement of the competition.

Rules Set:
The event will be run under the WFTF comprehensive rule set.

A final definitive rules set which covers things not already dealt with under the Comprehensive rules set will be published in the near future.

We look forward to welcoming you to our country, town and venue.

NZAFTA Worlds 2014 Committee

Contact information for us:
In the first instance contact us to be supplied information you will require from us to complete an application through the NZ Police for a Visitor License. This includes the venue address, secure storage facility address and a personalised invitation letter to the event.

Primary contact email: gov.nzafta@hotmail.com -Adam Welsh 2014 Worlds event co-ordinator. (ALL registration communication this address only)

Secondary contact email: 12ftlbs.NZAFTA@gmail.com -Davey Lum NZAFTA Secretary. (contingency/communication problems)

Further information:
The first step is to register for the 2014 WFTF world championships, then specific information will be given to you regarding applying for a visitor’s firearms license; for bringing a PCP air rifle to New Zealand, this is applied for and granted by the New Zealand Police DIRECTLY.

Spring Piston air rifles are now clarified and are without restriction. I paraphrase an email response from Police Firearms branch:

“…….considering the NZ Arms Act, on the basis your firearms are single shot air rifles and not pre-charged pneumatic air guns, an import permit or NZ firearms licence are not necessary to bring them with you into the country or possess them while you are here.”

The website for PCP visitor Lic application is here:

https://forms.police.govt.nz/firearms/visitors-application

and these permits are valid for 12 months from being granted or until you leave the Country. (We have been advised that it takes AT LEAST one month to process these permits, so people should start as soon as possible)

No final date for confirmation of Visitors License. However, it will be unlikely that you will be granted clearance to proceed through the border with your PCP air rifle easily or automatically if you travel to New Zealand without securing approval from the NZ Police prior to departure.

Payment of entry fees:
Entry fees for the event have set at NZ$150.00



Payment of fees will be accepted by PAYPAL as a first preference. We will only accept Credit Card payments via Paypal. An account has been set up for this. Details for payment via paypal available on application to (email gov.nzafta@hotmail.com) .

International bank transfers will be acceptable if you wish to do that. We suggest pooling all entry fees from each RGB and doing ONE transfer to save on fees. Recipient bank account details available on application to (email gov.nzafta@hotmail.com).

Target date for receipt of payment shall be 3oth June 2014.

Accommodations:

Accommodation onsite in share cabins, for up to a week is set at NZ$50.00 and own bedroll is highly recommended, or contact us for advance arrangements of supply of this.

Catering:

Catering costs are not yet to hand, so it will be a few short days until we have those details to give you. We are catering breakfasts, packed lunch and dinner every competition day and presentation dinner.

The underlying aim is that nobody arriving for this event will be wondering where they will be able to sleep or eat for the duration of the event, and any assistance we can give only needs to be asked for. While our preparations are not 5 star quality, the costs are not 5 star either but rather a good deal.

Classes being run:
All standard classes and awards will be observed as proscribed under the WFTF comprehensive rules set.

http://www.world-field-target-federation.com/core-rules

The following “additional classes” will be run under the WFTF comprehensive rules:

HP class PCP (28 ft/lb power limit, up to .22 calibre)
HP class Springer (28ft/lb power limit, up to .22 calibre)
Further announcements and information will also be distributed via the RGBs in the upcoming future. Entrants who provisionally register pending confirmation of Visitor FAL and/or payment to us will also be emailed the same information releases.
Provisional registration will start on 30th January 2014, but you should apply for your visitor’s license for PCP air rifles to the New Zealand Police anytime from now onwards.
Please note: Due to the procedural requirement of the NZ Police and the legal requirements to bring air rifles into the country, we have no control over, nor can we process your applications for permits or visitor licenses for you, nor can your RGB do bulk applications. This is just the way the NZ Police require it to be done. Each entrant must apply ONLINE for themselves and be checked for criminal history and “fit and proper person” status to possess a firearm within New Zealand.
