Rifle Range

Bullet holes scattered across the stage backdrop hint at the history of this repurposed rifle range. This facility served as a machine gun range for Air Force personnel, the SAS, Navy and the Diplomatic Protection Squad. The range, which was completed in 1940, was the place where many New Zealand men came to learn about weapons and practice shooting at cardboard targets. The Rifle Range is an amphitheatre for residents and visitors to Hobsonville Point.
