    That is further up at Makarau
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    @Beaker may have some insight as he had involvement with the Timaru range sometime back.

    Range design and certification, yes a few ideas.
    Didn't need to do much on the RMA due to some bylaws. ( council had a duty to have a public rifle range, council owned land, etc..)

    The range design manual is the place to start.

    And find someone that's good with CAD plus a survey of the land. (Easy to prove safe design, or do what ifs before moving dirt or building stuff)
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....
