Lets be realistic about the area....
1 - Its not a designated range, its public DoC controlled land in an area that is highly utilised for many recreational activities
2 - Its open to anyone and as such people tend to go anywhere/everywhere
3 - It's been trashed and abused by fuckwits for a very long time
4 - it does't put hunters in a very good light when non hunters go up there and see the damage and rubbish everywhere
5 - its fucking dangerous as hell
6 - just because its a public area of land doesn't mean you can do what you want there
Basically if you want some LR target shooting practice, join a club and use their ranges. Learn to hit the targets correctly concentrating on good groupings. Learn to dial and/or hold over at the distances at the club ranges so when/if you decide to do a LR target comp or whatever, you can shoot with confidence.
DON'T GO OUT AND BOMB UP A VERY ACCESSIBLE PUBLIC AREA!
Yes, a purpose built area would be ideal, but when has any govt dept/agency done anything like that for anyone here? Unless is paid for by the private user or commercial entity it won't happen.
