as I am on Holidays thourght I would take the time and take my 12 year old niece to the range for her fist time at shooting :boogie:
after getting my little one to lend her ear muffs to her cousin we headed off for an afternoon at the range
I had set up a Target frame at 25m with some some clay targets for her to plink away at, then set up a couple more clay targets at 50M for her as well
all I can say is WOW :D :D :D for a first time shooter she did very well off the bench :boogie: :boogie: next time will try a couple more things with her.
I know she had a ball and definitely wants to do it again
sorry for the short report, I will let the Pics and Vid do the rest

hehe they are Peltor Kids ear muffs ages ago I told my daughter ( who is 3 ) she could not go to the range unless she had ear muffs, she said Pink ones, I said Ok you can not go till you have pink ones, ( me thinking won't find any for ages)
I was at the gun shop picking up the CZ and she was with me, looking around and next thing she comes up to me with them says I need these then we go to the range, so.... I HAD to get them hehe

Cool post Phil, Like Lenin said, "If we get them young they are ours forever", Her and your Daughter are the future of the shooting sports ;D
I realize this may be like asking me about Canadian or Mexican laws but do you have any idea what NZ gun laws are like ?

No shooting glasses! :o Kids are great learners because they don't have a lifetime of prejudices and bad habits to overcome. Girls are lucky enough to have better coordination and fine muscle control than boys. She could even be an Olympic shooter some day.

well here you go
from my mate
Military Style Semi Autos ( MSSA) are required to be registered, but all Sporting semi-auto rifles and shotguns are legal on an A cat license, Any handguns that are to be used in competion or club shooting are registered on a B cat license ( attendance requirements apply) , C cat is for collectors, whether it be pistol, or military collectible, but normally cannot be operated. D cat is dealer, E Cat is MSSA as above.
Any firearm that complies with A cat need not be registered, and it is the responsibility of the seller to ensure that the buyer has the correct A cat license.

Types of firearms licence
If you are 16 years or over and have or use a firearm (except under immediate supervision of a licence holder) you need a firearms licence.
A standard firearms licence allows you to have and use sporting type shotguns and rifles. You also need this licence if you are aged 16 and 17 years and wish to buy or use an airgun. Standard licences are valid for 10 years. A licence holder will require an endorsement to:
Own pistols (B endorsement)
Collect firearms, or stage theatrical performances involving firearms (C endorsement)
Own or possess military style semi-automatic rifles or shot guns (E endorsement)
A visitor's licence is for a person visiting New Zealand and is valid for 12 months, or when the person leaves (which ever is shorter). Applicants must show they are a bona fide shooter in their own country. People intending to stay in New Zealand for more than 12 months must apply for a standard licence.
A dealer's Licence is for arms dealers who buy, sell or make firearms by way of business. This licence is valid for one year. People who hire out firearms also require a licence.
Shit reading that I may have to move over the ditch :o
