As regulations for Clubs and Ranges have not come into force Police are not issuing Range Certificates at this time.

Well then how about " if three of my mates come over to shoot in a paddock, but I have 12 cows in their grazing as well, we are outnumbered 3 to one that its being used principally for animal grazing"
