Thread: New range laws and shooting on unregistered ranges

The issue of shooting on farms for recreation or target practice was supposedly clarified during the select committee process - people raised the same concerns you guys are right now, and the wording was changed, and assurance given that it would not affect shooting on private land.

However I have heard it mentioned that the way police want it, you won't be allowed to have mates around to the farm for a pre duck season clay practice, nor, will you be able to do anything other than truly ad hoc sighting on your farm, without going through the range certification process.

Much like the supposed creation of an independent firearms authority, we have been sold short with weasel words. As the delegated regulatory authority, they can basically do whatever they want, and we just get to suck the Kumara.
