Can anyone give me directions to find details of any major North Island/National fixed target (not Field Target) shooting events for PCP rifles in 2025? I won't be competitive but I'm sure I'd have a hell of a lot of fun trying!

Field Target appears to involve moving around and shooting at silhouettes at varying distances (entirely based on what I've seen on YouTube). I've never done it but there will be plenty on this forum who have. My interest is in bench-rest shooting at cards with multiple diagrams chasing grouping or accuracy scores as appropriate. I'd really like to give it a go as my Diana Outlaw is shooting exceedingly well after having made a number of 'refinements' since I purchased it. ------------- Daystate Red Wolf .22 FX Dreamline .22 Diana Outlaw .22 AA S410 .22 HW98 .177 HW30 .177 Diana 340 E-Tec .177 FWB Sport 124 .177 Gamo 900 .22 Baikal IJ-22 .177 Crosman 2240 Custom .22 Brocock GP .22 |

What you are looking for is paper target shooting. Not sure the airgun clubs do bench rest shooting. We only do that on practice days and to sight in. ------------- 2nd place HP springer - WFTF World Championships 2014 |

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? ------------- Daystate Red Wolf .22 FX Dreamline .22 Diana Outlaw .22 AA S410 .22 HW98 .177 HW30 .177 Diana 340 E-Tec .177 FWB Sport 124 .177 Gamo 900 .22 Baikal IJ-22 .177 Crosman 2240 Custom .22 Brocock GP .22 |

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. ------------- 2nd place HP springer - WFTF World Championships 2014 |

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. ------------- Daystate Red Wolf .22 FX Dreamline .22 Diana Outlaw .22 AA S410 .22 HW98 .177 HW30 .177 Diana 340 E-Tec .177 FWB Sport 124 .177 Gamo 900 .22 Baikal IJ-22 .177 Crosman 2240 Custom .22 Brocock GP .22 |

| 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. |

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.

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. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

There is not much of offer around Hamilton either. I know of two air rifle clubs that do Field Target, Brian in Hamilton and Alex at Matamata, but their ranges/clubs are only set out on certain days for FT (as far as I'm aware). If I win the lotto, I'm buying some land and setting up a full time, dedicated shooting range, with full facilities, undercover shooting benches, toilets, club room, coffee shop... I might even have a 30m indoor range. I'll definitely have a 200m outdoor range with permanently set up spinners from 10m out to 200m, and I'd shoot every day! ------------- Walk quietly, but carry a big stick. |
