Im not argueing with your results, but i still think there is a difference. Stix wrote:[quote="bladeracer"I would say that if your neighbour can't hear you cycling the action of your rifle, they're not going to hear you shooting low-subsonic. I’ve got a pile of CCI subsonics, and if they are still to noisy I will have to learn how to ‘lob’ the CCI quiets to good effect, More days than not I hear gunshots going off in the distance from my place. Targets/‘extended sighting-in’ will probably only ever be a subsonic game here, which is actually totally fine and reasonable in my opinion if that is what eventuates.įor what it is worth my place feels a bit more remote with less people and houses around than just down the road where friends and I on their similar properties in higher density dwellings routinely shoot off a variety of large loud centerfires (after warning the surrounding neighbours). 308 won’t be getting much use here unless it is pointing at a deer (before which point I will have warned the neighbours that one dawn or dusk that might happen) or way down he track if I know the neighbours are all cool with it/not home/etc. Oh well they are good people, I will remain hopeful.Īnd yeah, I think I have said enough times that the. Another reason why I will be treading carefully and slowly with them in particular)- seems like that unfortunately means gaining their ‘permission’ rather than just ‘informing them’. Totally fine for distance to public road (long block into reserve) and depending where the shooting was done on my place pushing the 250m limit on one house, which is the house I have expressed concern with. Not exactly the true sporting stalking/tracking/hunting that most seem to value (?) but we have to work with what we’ve got, and having the chance to take deer on my own property was one of selling points of this place for me. I have a trail cam out and I need to figure out their movements a bit better, do a little work to encourage them, and then probably put some very patient long hours in waiting. A good friend recently shot two in 15 minutes on his 20 acre block which is only 1-2km away. I have not yet seen samba on my actual property but have disturbed some at dawn in some of our scrub and heard their panic honks, and have seen plenty running around on the roads within a couple of Kms. There is deer sign all over the place and heaps in the gully, poo, rubbing trees, thrown antlers, eaten sweet pittosporum trees, etc. I might also make some sort of hide up in a tree in order to get a higher angle and get a bit of a wider range I can shoot while ensuring a safe backstop. I have a large area/end of our block that backs onto a very large reserve with a good gully with a small dam where I can shoot across and 100% can ensure my bullets start from and won’t leave my property. I will have to shoot targets/zero it in somewhere else, at least until I feel more confident with making that much noise. 308 here much at all, and if/when I do I expect to be looking at a deer. I need to be careful where I shoot.22lr should be relatively straightforward, but I doubt I will be using the. In any case, i wouldnt be shooting a Sambar across a couple of acres with a 22 rimfire. Not sure what your point is-too small sn area i assume is what you're saying. I don’t think a case would get to court based on the lack of outright clarity and existing conjecture (read link Asia’s put up as well) - if it did, the magistrate would need to ultimately clarify the mess and that’s not easy as you’ve found out.so, a common sense approach needs to be adopted (safety being paramount) and if you were then challenged, as long as you can explain reasonable process as to how you’ve arrived at your decision - you would nominally be protected from outright prosecution.even if a police prosecutor took a hard line, if there were no injuries or main stream issues raised - other than training a minor in safe operation - I’d guess that a magistrate would not be happy to see a case before them and probably throw it out. My opinion based on dealing with courts and police over the years for various.including learning a lot from taking the QLD police force to court in entirety. I've done a lot of searching but have been unable to confirm either way, not something I'd like to test in court though. Other sources suggest that the 'sometimes' part is because the minor also needs to have a minors license, otherwise it would be 'always' allowed if the other criteria are met. authorized range or private property) and the minor must be under direct supervision of a parent or guardian who is licensed to possess the weapon. The conditions listed are that it must be a place where it is lawful to possess the weapon (i.e. This is a real grey area and you might be right, section 52 of the Weapons Act 1990 states " Physical possession and use of weapon sometimes allowed for the purpose of training a minor"
