I have been a member of the Auckland Swiss Club for over 15 years. Initially, I was a member of the shooting section only, then became a Swiss Farm Committee member. In May 2017 I was elected President, and held that post for 1 year, and have now taken on the Riflemaster position.
Having been a member of the Auckland Swiss Club Shooting Section for a substantial period, affords me the opportunity to reflect on the shooting activities that the club provides each year and thus work towards refining them. It is challenging after the Christchurch shooting and the ever-changing world stage of firearms and ammunition.
We now know that Switzerland will no longer supply us with ammunition and other details, such as traditional Swiss competitions and medals are yet to be determined with the various organisations in Switzerland. Rest assured, that the traditional Swiss shooting in New Zealand, as we have known for so many years, will need adjusting to the times we are finding ourselves in.
Help is needed! Please let me know if you are interested to help in the organisation and running of the shooting events. We need a few more Range Officers, as currently Ernst Lanz and I are the only two Auckland based, I know of. Without a Range Officer on site, we won’t be able to hold any shooting days.
It is my intent to keep the shooting alive, utilising the range we have all been taking outstanding care of, since Hans Fitzi obtained approval by the Waitemata County Council and the New Zealand Army in 1968.
