Yup, the closure wasn't related to the decontamination problems. I meant the owners are now going through the expensive challenges, through the original bad design.

Also have a look at - Range Inspections

There some good design references etc....

Would suggest if you are thinking of a pistol range, a No Danger Area Range would be the easiest to do.
Look at page 27 - http://www.pistolnz.org.nz/media/12127/range_dev_3.pdf for heights of berms verse firing distance. I would also suggest that they be treated as absolute minimums for the heights. i.e. the books say 5m but aim for 6m, as the rules change over time and adding to a completed berm, due to slumping, erosion, or rule change - will be a major pain in A.

To be fair it was a .22 range for a few decades before CSI. Back then it just simply wasn't a consideration. Even though now we know best practice.

Good news

If you have any interest in revolvers at all I've found some classic S&W ones have beautiful triggers which can give you nice groups and because everyone seems to be in love with semis at the moment they can be had for cheap
Also not chasing brass casings on the ground is a bonus

I've done my 3 visits and put the form in. Think I'll enjoy it. Just the 6 month probation thing really gives me the shits. Specially when you already have endorsements.

@Beavis

6 months (& 12 Shoots minimum) will fly by.

It is to cover the club Beavis. They are essentially vouching for you. If you turn out to be a muppet they suffer the consequences as well.

(almost) any muppet can get other endorsements

I don't see it as an issue

For me, it isn't the process behind attaining a B endorsement that puts me off competitive pistol shooting. It's the location of the ranges and their hours in the Auckland area, unfortunately.

Maybe a move is in order?

I'd move next to your range. Convincing the wife, something else.

I may not suggest right next door..... there is a rather large pond, that gets its level refreshed when ever someone of the 30K people in Timaru have a dump.......

However a little further afield is stunning!!

And my B finally arrived!

Yay for me. I don't have to put handguns behind my rifles anymore.

That also means I now have room for more......
