ok, so my Licence is on the way, and my guns have the deposit paid, next step is to head to the range.
Dont mind traveling a bit, as it seems a lot of ranges only allow .22's. and seeing i`ll have a 7.62x39 SKS that I assume will make quite a bang, I`d like to ust that a bit to become familiar.
What Ranges do you guys go to in Auckland?
And when are they open?

two ranges there. One at coatsville and one at riverhead. I think the Coatsville one is more accessible as the riverhead one is in the forest so is opnly open at set times (no coming and going when you want).
