My Favorite Things: (On the web)

When Julie Andrews sang ever so sweetly "My Favourite Things"- I doubt that she was including the best shooting sites on the Internet (also sometimes called 'the world-wide wait') - You'll need a decent 'Broadband' connection for the first two as they're video links. I'm sure that there'll be plenty that I've not found so far - but here goes with my picks anyway.

I guess that the FIRST line should be Google and Wikipedia ! - followed by:

Hickok45-YouTube: Really knowledgeable relaxed and informal video reviews about guns and ammo, & holsters etc. His home range is superb and will make you envious, and can he shoot a handgun and ring those gongs!

The Hickok45 Radio Show : - audio talks only on YouTube (this is video without pictures ) - Great listening on gun and shooting topics when you can't sit watching in front of the screen. - He runs a quiz where you get to guess by ear what gun he is cycling on air - answer next week - good clean fun.

glocktalk.com : A very big U.S. site with plenty of focus on Glocks (of course) - but it has lots of forums on other topics eg. General Firearms Forum, 1911 Forum, Cop Talk, Knives, etc as well as  General Glocking and Technical Q&As etc.

pistol-training.com :  Interesting technical innovations and news.

Gunstuff.co.nz :  This is our NZ commercial auction site where you can buy and sell stuff that's not welcome on TradeMe . It's not a very big site - but it's well useful and worth checking regularly.

Wilhelm.co.nz :  Richard used to own the best little Gun Shop in Christchurch until the earthquakes modified his Colombo Street premises. - Now he runs the best little home-based shooting gear business from above town - and you should check his price for anything that's waiting to come home with you before looking anywhere else. He is a straight-dealing, straight-talking man.

Reloaders.co.nz : I've always found this Auckland Dealer good to deal with by phone and they publish a great newspaper style yearly Catalogue. Their website and online catalogue is good too.

seriousshooters.co.nz : Another excellent Auckland Dealer with a fine online presence and good range in their catalogue.

guncity.com : New Zealands biggest nationwide chain of gunshops. Their large well stocked stores are definately worth visiting and taking an hour or two to wander about the displayed goodies. - You may even get lucky if you try to negotiate a discount from the friendly sales team!

amuripc.org.nz :  The online presence of The AMURI PISTOL CLUB. - Definitely worth a look around and even try the crossword puzzle too.

activeresponsetraining.net :  This is Greg Ellifritz's blog on real life issues from his viewpoint as a police instructor in Central Ohio - Gregs study on the effectiveness of handgun calibers is the one you should read and remember.

flicense.blogspot.co.nz :  A new site for Kiwi shooting enthusiasts - written and up-loaded for you by one of us. - Type the address in the wee box at the top of your screen as Google haven't found it yet. They will. News, opinions and stories about firearms, history. - LOTS of good reading free.

nzguns.co.nz : NZ Guns and Hunting Magazine is our best shooters Magazine as it truly supports New Zealand shooters rights, including pistol shooting, through SSANZ and COLFO.
