Thread: Otorohanga rifle range closed

The other problem was that under the new legislation; the farmers paddock with big bank, if used by an organised group (for example forum members in South Canty) requires that organised group to be an incorporated Shooting Range Operator even if it was 1 annual shoot. There is now a cost to certify 'one off' use ranges, which is a waste of that organised group's time and money

Greetings,
You learn something every day. I have been in NZDA for closing on 50 years and have not seen that document. I assume from the date it was brought out as a means of compliance with the Police Range Manual July 2005.
