I know it's a bit different but the Otago Pistol Club is located at the beach at Waldronville and uses a sand dune as a backstop, you can be walking along the beach quite happily, on the other side of the dunes while they are shooting and barely hear the shots. I suppose being next to the sea helps.
The ironic thing about this Auckland range is that if they tried to used suppressed handguns to be courteous, the bastard would probably get even more upset. =) I'd like to see them do 3-gun there to really rile him up. I can just see him shaking his newspaper and scoffing at the nerve of people using firearms that aren't a fine side-by-side 'fowling piece' that costs as much to manufacture as a small house.
