    Why are people shooting at the beach? Is it normal to do so? Shit I'd be in the shit if I took the 7RM to the Mt beach I'd say.

    Yet I was made out to be the mad one in this thread http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...ppresser-2065/ Funny how we are finally more aware of unsafe practices when it is through media rather than a short 4 min video my one of our members.

    Check your firing zone and for god sake don't shoot blindly, no mater where you are as all it takes is for some random to be where they maybe shouldn't and BANG, another weapon incident here in gods own.

    Ive hunted and sighted in not far from there for last 20 odd years.....its plurry easy to get a safe back drop as there is a big arse stop bank,you can set up 100-200300yards and shoot into stop bank AWAY from where people are likely to be and you can CLEARLY see a plurry sight further than that. but these two cases are clearly someone being a dickhead.
