    The HBRC range has large earth backstops, and side stopbanks.
    It is not shooting into an open riverbed.
    The "target area" has earth filled tyres.
    The range has been closed down as a result of the new rules.
    Those less scrupulous with safety are now shooting in open riverbeds and DOC land - not saying this didn't happen previously; but anecdotally this activity will increase.
    Work is being undertaken to rectify the HBRC range - but it will be 2 months or so before the range can be re-opened.
    Don't think this couldn't happen in your location.
