Any link to that?

(Plurry double post …!)

Colfo commented details on a facebook post but I can't find it. The complainer named in the article is a convicted drug dealer that lost his firearms after police worked with the range.

I was at that competition and he was caught on camera trespassing at that time to go count the shots... and only 257... surprised he can count that high... but I'm pretty sure I missed more shots than that

Maybe somebody could post a link to it as I can’t.

Gotta love the free advertising...
For those curious, yes they found a loophole in that the public access to Hori Bay beach via the Hori Bay bridge is not NCC owned but LINZ/Crown owned - meaning its not actually public from the councils perspective and we had to get a traffic engineer out to assess it.
From a noise perspective, Our nearest neighbour is 630m away, under the nelson rules you can use explosives within 500m of a residence (eg quarry blasting) and have aircraft commercially within 200m of a residence or 500ft as per CAA rules.
We have a NZ standards compliant sound reader and have great fun testing our gear particularly how quiet different brands of suppressors are - and we are compliant with NCC rules with a muzzle braked 50cal at 147m from the firing point.

As law abiding citizens, us and our members are happy to work with NZ police to help take illegal guns off the street and out of the hands of criminals - its just a shame that the council entertains the false complaints.

If you're keen to check out the range or just support us then we have a membership option on the website that gives you access to the booking calendar and other things.
Our memberships are from $260/year (no range fees after that), we host various competitions and offer lessons, plus we also have 5-star accommodation on-site and can help you organise a getaway with a bit of range time too

Just found the forum when someone sent it to me so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the website... google it I guess.

Since when do you own a blackout? I'm selling mine soon if you need one

Wondering what other bull shit that range guy is saying I'll let you know what I find out.

Take your meds and fuck off.

Hmm just watching all the NEW MEMBERS posts coming out of the top of the SouthIsland.5 star accommadation on a rifle range.hmmm

Whichever side of the argument you are on here, please refrain from posting unsubstantiated rumour, or insults. As firearm owners (and adults) we maintain a standard of responsible behavior and maturity.

I'm sure this matter is well worth discussing, as it effects us all in some way, but have some standards while doing so. Otherwise, you do yourself - and any particular community you may represent - a great disservice.

Haven’t been there myself but a few Marlborough Deerstalkers Members have been a couple of times and reckon it’s not a bad setup, with some challenging targets. Heard they’ve got accomodation on the property but again no personal experience. Good on him for having a go, we need to encourage more shooting ranges.

I believe he was kicked out of the Australian Navy for doing something relly bad to a young boy Recruit. Moves to Nelson lies to everyone and thinks that's OK.

Ok Salty neighbour guy, try sticking your fingers in your ears. Push hard enough and you might even find a brain in there.

They are actually legitimate, do a search on peak view retreat.

For the record I haven't been there, but going by their advertising it looks like a decent setup to keep the other half happy while you shoot stuff.

https://www.peakviewretreat.com/ and https://www.peakviewrange.com/

I just googled it and must say it does look very impressive.

Looks a good set up,too crowded for me.

For us city plebs, it looks like where you go in the afterlife after being a very good person!!!
