I hope youse are well
I live in Victoria
And I just wanna clarify something
Regarding target shooting on private property
From what I understand, it is 100% legal.
However (of course) there are laws that ought to be followed
From what I understand, those laws are;
1) If there are more than 5x shooters participating in the event, and if the shooting goes for longer than 3x hours, the nearest police station has to be notified beforehand
2) You need to have a backstop within 20metres behind the target
3) You can't shoot if you're within 250metres of a dwelling
4) You can't shoot if you're within 100metres of a public road
5) The shooter needs to be stationary during the shooting
6) You can't shoot between sunset and sunrise
7) You can't advertise the event
8) There can't be any money involved in the shooting
9) You can't be under the influence of drugs and alcohol during the time of the said shooting
Is all of this correct?
Am I missing anything?
Is Target Shooting on Private Property definetely 100% legal if all those laws and regulations are followed to the T?
Thanks Lads
I look forward to hearing from youse

So if I'm just shooting by myself on private property in the country/bush
Do I still need to be 250metres away from the closest dwelling? As well as being 100metres away from the closest public road?

They all make sense
I think I should be okay
My friend has a farm in the country
It's a pretty big piece of land
It's quite far away from all the other dwellings
It's quite far away from the public road
There's no public path or track or anything like that nearby
On his farm, he's gotta pretty big hill which I could easily use as the back stop
I think I should be 100% right doing target shooting on his farm
I've never seen anyone trespassing on his land
Neither has he
(As it's pretty remote)
I think I should be 100% right, safe and legal on his farm
I may even call the local police there to make sure it's safe and legal

I have a Cat A&B license
With "Target Shooting" & "Hunting" as my genuine reasons
And my friends farm is definetely classed as "rural"
So I should be okay yeah?
