WW: Shooting Exercise at Kaitoke Shooting Range, New Zealand

Welcome to Kaitoke Shooting Range

This time I will share something a bit different from my previous adventures.

Have you ever tried shooting exercise using pistol and shotgun?

Well, obviously I don’t support the irresponsible use of guns and its damaging impacts, but I had received casual trainings of shooting while joining the service for the first time back in 2002.



Fast forward 18 years later, I surprisingly get another change to try it again. One of the diplomatic missions in Wellington invited other diplomatic missions to join this shooting exercise under the guidance of Kaitoke Pistol Club registered members.


Following the health protocol as well as safety procedures, my son Bo and I joined others in this exercise. I have to admit we enjoyed it. Bo has tried air soft gun in Jakarta as well as paint ball before so he was excited to try the real one. I have checked with the instructor and they said he could join as the New Zealand youth club for it has been established.



We started the exercise with detailed briefing about the rules and procedures of using pistol as well as shotgun. Safety protocols were underlined as well so we all understood all the consequences. Fingers off the trigger before all is ready, making sure all is cleared before firing the target and many more instructions were explained to us. Then we all managed to try the pistols with 10 bullets twice, as well shotgun with 5 bullets once. We really learnt a lot that day.

I managed to hit many targets and so did my son. We learnt more about the techniques and how to ensure everything is safe as well. Bo was even offered to join the club and being trained by our instructor that day as he made good hit. Well, we'll see about that later.

Here are some photos we took during that day. I actually have more videos taken and will share it in my YouTube channel.

Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the link party.

  6. Latihan yang seru dan tidak semua orang punya kesempatan.
    Keren mba Indah dan Bo yang bisa mengenai sasaran tembak berkali-kali.
    Saya pernah mencoba dulu waktu diksarmil, nggak kena sasaran dan bahu rasanya mau copot saat peluru kosong lepas dr larasnya, hahaha.

  7. Wah seru banget ini bisa latihan menembak begini. Aku kepengen deh. Kayaknya asyik aja gitu nembek-nembak sasaran. Walopun pastinya, dalam kenyataannya susah kata yang udah nyoba. Btw, aku salfok dengan foto paling pertama. Kelihatan alam NZ ini. Jadi keingetan film-film yang ber-setting NZ. Alamnya masih bagus,

  10. Keren deh Mbak bisa nembak target tepat sasaran. Kalau di Bandar Lampung ntah di mana ya yang ada. Saya baru taunya tempat latihan memanah aja. Anak saya mau juga soalnya latihan memanah. Memanah dan menembak sama-sama perlu fokus dan ketenangan ya.
