most people think that moving to country or rural area's will be somewhat peaceful and quite, well its not, Ive lived in country towns and further out on farmlands, the reality is that if its not firearms being discharged than there is always the motor bikes, tractors, machinery etc. One of the sole purposes for having such large acreage is so one can perform said activities without having to drive an hour and a half. This club should be given approval by council, as state its been operating "illegally" since 1994, which by the looks of the residents that have posted, it was open and operating long before use had moved in. OPEN THE RANGE!

#29: - Really?

This Branch got the approval from Council in late January, they are doing what council requires and what we need, so to all the objectors, not very many of you, but lots of supporters,  I'm a supporter, many members live really close by. But thanks to the Councillors for listening to the supporters and standing up for the right people for once.  Rocksberg will have something to be proud of. Thanks also to the property owners for letting all of us members being able to put some ranges on their land, they are great people, should be more people like them. Owners can still have their friends shoot on another part of their property like they should be able too. Its called Recreational Shooting and its not illegal. No you wont have the value of your property drop. For the people that said they will have to move, what rubbish. At least there will be a place where we wheelies can go and shoot with others for fun and a good sport.

A Branch of SSAA in Ripley if you didn't see it on TV, has just planted hundreds of trees for koalas, it has been proved that koalas and wildlife can live with the sound of gunshot and it doesn't worry them. Good for wildlife and Target Shooters alike.
