Under the current DOC Hunting permit, target shooting is not allowed either. The permit allows for hunting only, and only the species mentioned in the permit. This has been the case for over 10 years, if not much longer. The hunting permit fulfills the requirement for "the landowner consent to use a firearm on the land" within the Arms Act from a long time ago (not the changes since March 2019).

I would also challange that most hunters on DOC administered land DON'T have a current premitt too.
