Pistol Shooting
Although the possession and use of pistols have been illegal in New Zealand for many years, the New Zealand Small-bore Rifle Association was granted a permit in 1961 to introduce pistol shooting for a trial period. The Christchurch East club held the first pistol shoot in March 1962, and since that date several more permits have been granted. The association eventually intends to include pistol events in its normal competitions.
