The North Island Championship is the 1st of 5 national benchrest tournaments held by the NZDA during the year.

This is a centrefire event and eligible rifles are Factory Class, Light Varmint and Heavy Varmint. We will shoot 100 and 200 yards. Each rifle class will shoot 5 group targets at each yardage. Tournament rules can be found in the National Shooting Rules & Instruction Manual on the NZDA National website. Follow this link.

Camping is available at the range with kitchen, toilet and shower facilities on hand. Cost of $5 pp/night to be paid in cash into the range honesty box.

This tournament is limited to the first 24 entrants.

Early bird ticket sales close at 6pm Friday, 9th January, so the draw can be finalised and targets labeled. After this any remaining standard tickets will stay on sale until the morning of the tournament.

*PMA Stabilfoot type feet (or any other rule compliant device) will be required for all front rests to prevent damage the bench tops. Spikes are not permitted.
