Introduction Sections 1 2 3 4 5 Glossary Where to find more information
Whether your particular interest is target shooting, deer hunting or collecting antique firearms you will find a club to suit. Joining a club provides the opportunity to share information, support and friendship with fellow enthusiasts. You can get a list of clubs from the Police Arms Officer, the NZMSC or local firearms dealers.
You can also get advice and practical help from a qualified gunsmith, the Police website and the Firearm Handbook from the NZMSC. Organisations to do with shooting and firearms are listed below.
