Thread: New range laws and shooting on unregistered ranges

I am one of the Shooting Range Inspectors trained and recognised by the Police (note that the majority of us are not Police, but involved with shooting disciplines).
We do the inspection, and write the report for the club or individual, which they forward to the Police.
We try to be as pragmatic and practical as possible - we are not here to shut ranges!!!

As Gillie has said, wait for the Information and consultation process.

Note the interpretation under the Act is:
shooting range—
(a) means a facility (whether indoor or outdoor), or a designated area of land, used by a shooting club or members of the public for the primary purpose of carrying out shooting activities; and
(b) includes any defence area (as that term is defined in section 2(1) of the Defence Act 1990) used by a shooting club.
