we are ALL going around in circles with this point - just spent time studying all the relevant stuff on DOC site - it does not state anywhere on DOC permit that to sight in a rifle is illegal - but...

How do you know a) that we don't also volunteer our time with the NZDA b) what submissions any of us did or did not make Seems like you're making a lot of assumptions.

You can't just read the first line. If you aren't doing a. or b. then you aren't conmmiting an offence... Anyway our local sight in range is on doc land and marked with a doc sign so I'll continue to...

I got no problem with farm hunting, actually am all for it when it’s controlling numbers and/or for meat. Just saying i don’t view a 12 point farm stag the same as a 12 point public land stag.
