COLFO - Council of Licenced Firearms Owners:
The Council of Licenced Firearms Owners represents the interests of firearms owners and is the largest voluntary shooting-related organisation in New Zealand.
COLFO was set up in 1996 by a number of interested individuals and groups to combat firearms-related disinformation. COLFO takes a professional approach using sound research to dispel the inaccurate and emotive claims of self-proclaimed anti-gun "experts".
Membership is available to any society, association, organisation, or individual whose objects and practices are supportive of the Council's objectives.
COLFO is a member of the Pacific Shooting Sports Forum and the World Forum for the Future of Shooting Sports.

New Zealand Pistol Association:
Target pistol shooting was introduced in New Zealand in the 1960s and by 1972 we had a pistol shooter at the Olympic Games. Since that time target pistol shooting has developed in numbers and the types of events shot. New Zealand pistol shooters have competed successfully in many international events, including many medals at Commonwealth Games, as well as World Championship medals in other pistol disciplines.
Pistol New Zealand has over 80 affiliated clubs throughout New Zealand, so no matter where you live, there will be a club near you.
