There was no backstop to speak of and open river bed in the danger area. That said there is a chronic need in Hawkes Bay for a 100 to 300 metre rifle range that the average hunter can use. A few months ago we had a presentation at our NZDA from Tod McClay and the two local candidates, now MP's. I made the point that the pressing need was for a decent Rifle Range along the lines of that at Tauranga. This is beyond the ability of one person or one club to achieve if they are starting from scratch.

    The range I provided some small advice to sounded like it was in a quarry? So might be a different range we are talking about @grandpamac
