Fiordland Firearms Competition Shoot

Mark Salmons Memorial Shoot*
NZDA v Fiordland Firearms Club - Te Anau Competition shoot

This is a competition shoot that started in 2016 but has not run since 2020 due to weather, lockdowns and new gun laws. 

It is held at the Fiordland Firearms Range on Linwood Road just outside Te Anau.

If you are new to competition shooting, we can get a few of our more experienced members that are attending to help set up your rifle on the day.  Fun day out to test your shooting skills!

The range will open at 10am for sighting in and competition starts at 11am.

The format will be as follows:-

• 25 rounds.
• 5 on paper at 100 yards.
• 5 rounds each on steel at 270, 470, 570, and 620 yards.

What to bring:-

• Rifle (have to use same one for ALL targets) - there are a few members who may lend one if you don't have a suitable rifle 
• Ammo (make sure you have enough rounds >25)
• Ear protection 
• Safety glasses (we have some club ones we can bring) 
• Spotting scope if you have one - we need spotters too 
• Chair (to sit on obviously!)
• Lunch
• Sunscreen - there is no shade there
• Winning attitude :-)

We will bring milk for the hot tea and coffee provided by the Firearms club  - there is NO running water so if it's hot bring plenty of fluids too.

$20 for members which covers the range fee, admin and competition costs

Share Rides:-

Once registered, we can try and car pool
