Often unknown fact. Our shooting laws for gamebirds have two interlocked/ interesting wee things. No shot more powerful than lead #BB and no person may set up and shoot closer than 90 yards of another shooter without Thier permission..... How and why are they interlocking you may ask??? Well a lead BB becomes non fatal at about 90 yards. Anytime your closer than a couple or five hundy yards from someone else it's possible...bad form to shoot in each other's direction...you KNOW your shot will lob that far,wearing eye protection isn't stupid in such situations. We used to get peppered if fishing in Wanganui river below the echolands gun club if they were using certain stations. Was never an issue.
