Thread: The future of Rifle Ranges.

I may have missed it (or forgotten) - BUT has anybody being injured or killed on a rifle range, OR killed/injured by a stray bullet orginating from a rifle range.

IF NOT - then someone has clearly missed the basic cost-benefit analysis.

Hahahaha, @Doghead, logic or actual risk has almost nothing to do with any of this.

It is simply a massive new bureaucracy - very similar to WorkSafe...

No they haven't. License holders and clubs pay. If they can't they shut down. That's the goal.

I believe one fella was killed on NZDF range many many years back and I believe it was some obscure oldschool cartridge,something like a .50 cal buffalo rifle. so not a common occurance.

You cannot best dumb, and dumb is what it is, ideology not facts.
Good to have some training, although I’ve never had a problem at Taupo, why, because you have to talk to the other shooter there on the day, or going forward becomes dangerous. Met many good guys with a common interest when there.

NZDA Auckland a long long time ago had someone injure/break a leg by slipping on a muddy slope but never any firearms accidents or ND's causing injury/death.
