The rifle range.

The 100m rifle range is supervised by qualified NZHA range officers who also offer both coaching and advise should it be required.   The rifle range operates between 7.00pm and 10.00pm with four shooting bays.  (No new shooters after 8:30pm or at range officers’ discretion).  Capacity is limited, time limits apply subject to numbers of users requiring range use.

Range officers may inspect firearms suspected as being unsafe.  Rifles not previously sighted MUST be initially shot at 25m to be sure of the fall of shot.  Any shooter in doubt as to the sighting of their rifle should begin at 25m also.  

Rifle range fee for non members: $25.00, payable in the clubrooms or at the rifle range via EFTPOS. 

We won’t leave you out in the cold in the cooler months.

Shotgun range.

The NZHA has shotguns available for use on public evenings at no charge. 

Ammunition will not be sold without presentation of a current firearms licence.
