Thread: Urgent Message For All Lake Lyndon Target Shooters

I think a lot of people take the opportunity to do a bit of long range testing while out hunting in open country public land. I've done it myself near the Mt White road and on the Savannah range. But a Doc permit is to hunt not for high Volume target shooting, and it wouldn't have occurred to me to do it within sight of the main road. . This sounds quite different from a couple of hunters Using a box of ammo to sight in once a year. Would it be IOOX or 1000 X the number of shots? and how many people On site at once?

Now, it might not be impossible for Doc to host a range. They provide facilities for mountain bikers and trampers which would also require resource consents.. something like a hut fee say $10 per shooter per day like TECT park in BOP could make it a cost neutral use for them. But if you've tried to set up a range you'll Know the detailed risk management planning required.If Doc have really approached NZDA thats a very encouraging sign.
