That's it in a nut shell, it is the application of the current cardinal rules here that is the issue.

Respectfully, I am not in favour of such blanket requirements. The NZDA Hunts program is already there for those who choose to attend it.
Maybe at most, make such a thing a condition to access to public land for hunting. But as you said yourself more rules won't change things.
Statistically, on a range is not where shooting deaths occur either, why try and solve a problem that doesn't exist. I could easily see a licence costing upwards of $600 in our user pays system for no net gain overall.

To engage about this as a user group, either here online, hunting shows on TV, magazines, at retailers, at the range and socially among our peers.
To be proactive as a user group.
That is something NZDA could certainly spear head.
