Conservation Act
Every person commits an offence against this Act who, knowingly and without a permit in that behalf issued under subsection (1) or section 26ZZH, or knowingly and otherwise than in compliance with any conditions subject to which such a permit has been issued,—
(a)
discharges any hunting weapon on, into, or over any conservation area;

so the permit is for hunting not target shooting
