Thread: Prospective 1000m Range for Canterbury

During my TF career in 1970s-91 there was a 900m mound on defence west melton rifle range and it was used by the west melton fullbore rifle club. our max qualifying shoots were in those days 300m with SLR.
was present a couple of times when irate van loads of fijian nassella tussock grubbers had some incentives to duck&dive as 7.62x51 rounds hurtled over the rifle range butts and sailed about ears courtesy of incorrectly set GPMG sights or SLRs ights.(one a mate of mine who attempted to shoot a 100m series with sights set for 600m on his so called very accurate SLR- cost him a few beers that
