Just to revive this, the time has come and Doc are fencing the area at lake lyndon off, trailer loads of rubbish, 4wding were some main reasons but also target shooters leaving rubbish and targets everywhere. Typical case of a few people ruining it for everyone else. Doc are in talks with the NZDA about potential new areas. Could there be a possible solution of fencing off designated areas at lake Lyndon for shooting with warning signs? I doubt it as it gives liability to Doc if anything goes wrong, the same reason private landholders won't allow it.
If enough people got behind a petition to set up a 'public' range area off lake Lyndon road does anyone think anything would come from it? could be worth a try.
