Does anyone know of an airgun club near to Palmerston North / Feilding / Manawatu? I'm looking for a group who like hunting with PCP's and/or Springers. Thanks...  ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE Air Arms S510 US .22 Air Arms S410 .22 Weihrauch HW97KT .177 Weihrauch HW95 .177 |

Hi Myson, There is a field target club that meets in PNth. They are meeting this Sunday if you're keen. It's mainly target shooting, but could be worth the visit, and you will be welcome. The club is having an AGM at 9.30 am, but if you were there about 10.30, the shooting will start. I can't make it, as i'm too busy, as I travel up from Wellington, but if you think you'll go text me and I will let the others know, and give you directions. It's on a farm a couple of ks into the Pahiatua track. 0272469374 ------------- |

Thanks Pauly5. I've only just seen this note from you - I didn't receive any notification of your reply, for some reason. Is this Andrew Jurgens place? (643 ?). If it is, I thought this was by invitation only and quite restricted in membership? Maybe I got the wrong information? Thanks for your advice though.... ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE Air Arms S510 US .22 Air Arms S410 .22 Weihrauch HW97KT .177 Weihrauch HW95 .177 |

Hi Myson, yes that's Andrews place, 643. Well it is private property, and so there's really only organized shooting there, but generally there's a club day about every month. Have you been there before? ------------- |

Thanks Pauly. No I haven't been but I think I met Andrew once - long time ago! If I remember correctly, he had a lovely FWB rifle? Anyway, things are starting to take off up here! A Youtube Air Rifle video enthusiast from South Africa has just moved to Feilding (!) and I've just noted that "Jusepy" on the forum is in Palmy so I'm starting to make contact with both. Who knows - maybe we'll start a new "club" up here over the next few months? Thanks again for your help and advice..... its much appreciated. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE Air Arms S510 US .22 Air Arms S410 .22 Weihrauch HW97KT .177 Weihrauch HW95 .177 |

That all sounds exciting. Yes we have a top FT shooter from South Africa in Wellington now. I appreciate FT isn't everyones kettle of fish, but I will try and remember to let you know when the next shoot is happening. Always good to put a face to the ...alias.  ------------- |

Thanks again Pauly. Things are definitely looking up, here in the Manawatu! If you're ever up this way, send me a PM and we'll arrange a shoot on my range. It's always good to meet fellow airgunners! ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE Air Arms S510 US .22 Air Arms S410 .22 Weihrauch HW97KT .177 Weihrauch HW95 .177 |

Recently moved down to Palmerston North from Auckland and am interested in getting back into target shooting. I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of an air rifle range in the vicinity. |

There are, but they shoot at a rifle range in Palmy. Un fortunately the new regulations have made it unfeasible to maintain a range and so depend on already established ranges. But they are establishing a good routine of shooting, so if you're interested I can put you in touch.
