Thread: TECT all terain park rifle range

Yep. Open communication with other shooters / range users is what works. A visit to the Taupo NZDA range often as not results in a social occasion and yarn session, shooters helping each other out with advice, tips or just general discussion. Often a local branch members will turn up to just have a looksee or empty the rubbish bins etc. Most persons are polite and listen and comply with any behaviour hints given by local users /members.

There is even tolerance of guys like Maca49 and their vintage guns. I have seen people happily accommodated with everything from bows and arrows, black powder muskets , hunting rimfires. centrefires, AR types and casual police / Army practices and sharing the facility well.

Our biggest problem are the few dirty bastards who shoot cans and fruit and leave their mess out on the range instead of picking it up, along with old target papers and placing it in the bins provided. One other bunch of f-wits used some tracers last year and started a bloody fire which required a fire brigade callout. Any users seeing wankers like these abusers please report them and their rego's to NZDA committee or police.

We're more or less "civilised in Taupo
