Thread: Certification of a private range

Hi Rushy,

I went through this 'what to do' process myself. In the end I wrote out a 'Range Protocol' checklist. Each range user fills out a sheet which is kept in a folder. I have a range use record which I can use as proof of use and good practice etc in the future if required. It acts as a good safety checklist
PM me your email and I will forward you the document

You could invite the Wanganui River to your next shoot.

It is looking even better these days after a concerted effort to rectify a slip.

You should come for a shoot some time.

I might just take you up on that! Keen to get a lever and try some light 'cowboy' cast loads

Shhh,
In Australia, my state at least we can sight in on private land but we can't actually target shoot technically.
We possibly could apply to have a private range certified by the police licencesing inspector I guess but they are getting tougher. Backstop butts and other precautions may be required , particularly where there might be dwellings within a given arc and distance.
People would be practicing or setting up targets doing no harm but if it's discreet and on large properties Noone is looking to investigate further.
I just wouldn't publicise it.
