About Auckland Pistol Club

A volunteer-run pistol club on Fitzpatrick Road in Brookby, serving Tāmaki Makaurau, with a focus on sport shooting. The club describes itself as welcoming and multicultural, with mentors who help newcomers learn safely.

To join, a visitor must hold a current New Zealand firearms licence. A first visit starts with a club tour from a senior member, who explains the club's rules and training. Newcomers then complete a structured introduction to range conduct, safety and club rules, and learn safe pistol handling, range rules and the club's standing orders. After that they can apply for their own endorsement and take part in weekly club matches.

Two shooting disciplines are offered. Dynamic courses of fire test accuracy, composure and speed, and precision shooting is done in a more traditional style. The club's opening periods are set out by season. Winter hours run until 25 October 2026, and summer hours begin on 28 October 2026 and run to 28 March 2027. Questions can be answered in the website's FAQ section.

Our pick in Brookby for someone with a firearms licence who wants a structured start in pistol sport.
