This range has only been there since 2019 so not long term.
Who was the asshole that carved the " No shooting range" mesage into the tree? Not very environmental......
F%$#in hippies!
“Noise has also been a subject of contention. On the day of a shooting competition in November 2021, Smart recorded 257 gunshots heard from outside his house between 8.35am and 11am”. Fuck me dead, Rushy’s neighbours heard twice that number of shots coming from this place today.
and her name is Karen.....well you could assume Karen is a she....might well be one of the other 26 letters of alphabet .....Quote:

I wish I had a range close enough that I could hear it.
There is more too this story that Stuff omitted.. surprise surprise. The neighbour was reported for having firearms they were not meant to be in possession of, suddenly they had a problem with the range.
Hope NZ could have a range in south, not just a range but a museum, all the firearms since last two centuries, and people can actually feel the history in their hands and experience it by fire few shots in a simulated environment and scenes.
That's actually a bloody good idea, I'd line the kids up for a go on a belt feed MG even if it is only a good VR simulation.
Any link to that?Quote:

Colfo commented details on a facebook post but I can't find it. The complainer named in the article is a convicted drug dealer that lost his firearms after police worked with the range.
I was at that competition and he was caught on camera trespassing at that time to go count the shots... and only 257... surprised he can count that high... but I'm pretty sure I missed more shots than thatQuote:

From a noise perspective, Our nearest neighbour is 630m away, under the nelson rules you can use explosives within 500m of a residence (eg quarry blasting) and have aircraft commercially within 200m of a residence or 500ft as per CAA rules.
We have a NZ standards compliant sound reader and have great fun testing our gear particularly how quiet different brands of suppressors are - and we are compliant with NCC rules with a muzzle braked 50cal at 147m from the firing point.
As law abiding citizens, us and our members are happy to work with NZ police to help take illegal guns off the street and out of the hands of criminals - its just a shame that the council entertains the false complaints.
If you're keen to check out the range or just support us then we have a membership option on the website that gives you access to the booking calendar and other things.
Our memberships are from $260/year (no range fees after that), we host various competitions and offer lessons, plus we also have 5-star accommodation on-site and can help you organise a getaway with a bit of range time too ;)
Just found the forum when someone sent it to me so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the website... google it I guess.
Since when do you own a blackout? I'm selling mine soon if you need one
Take your meds and fuck off.Quote:

Whichever side of the argument you are on here, please refrain from posting unsubstantiated rumour, or insults. As firearm owners (and adults) we maintain a standard of responsible behavior and maturity.
I'm sure this matter is well worth discussing, as it effects us all in some way, but have some standards while doing so. Otherwise, you do yourself - and any particular community you may represent - a great disservice.

Haven’t been there myself but a few Marlborough Deerstalkers Members have been a couple of times and reckon it’s not a bad setup, with some challenging targets. Heard they’ve got accomodation on the property but again no personal experience. Good on him for having a go, we need to encourage more shooting ranges.
Ok Salty neighbour guy, try sticking your fingers in your ears. Push hard enough and you might even find a brain in there.Quote:

I just googled it and must say it does look very impressive.
Looks a good set up,too crowded for me.
For us city plebs, it looks like where you go in the afterlife after being a very good person!!!
Thats the one :)Quote:
