How the F@#K do they expect to grow the sport with bullsh@t like that :thumbsdown:


It’s about power.
If you want to ‘trigger’ them, ask about 5.7x28 ammunition and the dripping blood font on their signs.[/quote]

Well bugger me, I've shot at Belmont several times and haven't had any problems or run into "remove bolt, drop mag" stuff.

Next time I'm at Belmont, I'll keep a eye out for the blood dripping signs - never noticed them before.

It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive each way for me too, on a good day!
Boom, Boom! Tikka, Tikka, Boom! Shoot first, video later.

Well, bugger me. Safety first at any range I have ever been up to shooting in National Competition the rule after "Cease Fire" is "Remove Bolts" "Step back behind the line" "Range Clear, Target Crew Move Forward"... If you are allowed to have a Magazine in the firearm then remove magazine is typical of anything that is not a single shot firearm.

If the target crew and/or any person is out on the range and you step over that yellow line to your firearm then you'll get rapped on the knuckles yet alone turfed off the range.

Never been to Belmont but these days it looks like a brilliant facility to use.

Nice 1000 yd range at Wondai. Its QRA but used by SSAA and Queensland Shooters Union.
Another at Kilkivan and Biggenden but getting a bit far from Brisbane but OK for northern shooters.
