Thread: Area to practice shoot? (Bay of Plenty)

soon you will not be able to simply practice on a farm.
you can sight in a rifle adhoc but simply practice no

best join your local range/club if you just want to shoot

I don't know how they plan to police the ad hoc thing i bet you its only there so if they get a complaint, they have the power to do something.
until now if your on a place you have permission to be on and your being safe it's hard for them to do anything. so my guess is they have just put something in the law to give them a bit more power if they get complaints.
the sad thing is it also gives your bitchy Neighbour more power to control what you do on your own land Aswell.
