Any idea when we can resume shooting 22 rounds on the IPSC ranges?  ???

That needs two things.

1. Re-certified ranges (8 & 9 will be done this way)

2. Common sense used by or members ie. not shooting at things that ricochet with sub-sonic .22's

I know how to achieve (1)

Is that "archive" or "achieve"?

Perhaps the Gramma Nazis should think about picking on the Forum administrator....

I will refer to my Gramma any way I want -- particularly as she's been dead for 20+ years....

But back on track for a min - How far away is an IPSC range I can use a .22 on?

I actually have no idea. Sounds simple, but we have to fix the range floor (stone free soil not deep enough). We're waiting for Taggarts to return and fix it. We will advise when we know.

85km, north to Motunau, or south to Ashburton.  Both about the same.
