I'm from Akaroa and come past there all the time.
The Rifle Range Culvert range used to be used occasionally, but I haven't seen any activity there in a few years.
Maybe since they cut down the pine trees near it.
There is a raised shooting area and from memory it would have been 200 to 300m long to the target area against the hill.
Might have been a gentleman's agreement with a local farmer.
Might have been a compliance issue ?
There are a few 10 acre blocks around there now and that might have spelt its demise.
If you can't google it up then I would suggest visiting the farm house a bit further along on the other side of the road.
cheers
