Thread: Urgent Message For All Lake Lyndon Target Shooters

Setting up and running a range requires planning and paperwork. Requirements are set out in an old document, the NZ Police Firearms Range Manual. Also, Councils have veto rights in some way due to powers around resource consents and it's quite costly to even apply. Indeed, eternal vigilance is the price of retaining even formal established ranges like the NZDA ones. So, it's unlikely that DoC would take on a project like providing a free public range. Half a dozen discreet shots to check your zero in a safe place while you're out hunting - OK. Just don't annoy, endanger or frighten.
