Well you must be just about the nicest guy in the world, or a serial killer lol!

That's freakin awesome mate. 7 hours in doable for longer trips maybe not the weekend ers lol
I, not sure the legality taking my firearms cross state lines though, will have to look into it.
I will pm you some questions in the next day or so.
Thanks again

Absolutely no way I would offer a stranger ( and his mates ) open slather access and rights of firearm usuage on my property, without my attendance / supervision.
Am guessing the vast majority of other folk would be the same .....

Brett said 'any calibre you like'.
Any calibre can cause annoyance to neighbours if used without respect / unwisely.
( and, 400 acres is NOT a huge parcel of land, in anyone's / my, imagination )
P.S. I shoot over a 1500 acre property and feel constricted by the relative narrow boundaries, when using centerfires of any description.

We're often critical of the media for mistakenly labelling all sporting shooters as gun toting potential crims but to have a fellow shooter display a similar attitude is the weird part. We're all adults and I'll treat any visitors to the land with trust and respect unless proven otherwise.
The OP and Mongrel have done the right thing and approached a forum for advice on places to shoot, this demonstrates responsible behaviour straight up. The standards of licensing and background checks in the Banana republic is quite stringent which also proves a level of good character. It's 400 acres of bush block with some tracks and clearings that was previously used to cook meth and grow pot for a bikie gang. So long as they follow the usual rules of hunting and leave their rubbish in the pit they can go nuts. It may work out that I'll be up there on at the same time and probably more like they'll need to supervise me rather then the other way round
Lets be ambassadors for our sport and support each other where possible.
