Shooting in your own backyard.
*sigh*
Just a dream for us.
Not all of us.
Don't know about Qld, but in NSW there are no specific limits other than discharging any firearm in a residential area, on public areas like roadways or shooting across those areas.
I shoot in my backyard, My neighbours house is 300 metres away and I have been told to stop ringing her to tell her I have a few friends arriving for a shoot or I want to let off a few dozen rounds doing load development. The statement she makes is "I'm a country girl. I know what firearms are all about. The noise doesn't worry me or the young kids." Fair enough. I was just trying to be curtious. 50-100 or more rounds in a session is a little different from the ocassional shot at a rabbit, fox or feral cat. She also works shift work so I don't know what days she might be sleeping during the day.
Another neighbour (93 year old) some 3-4 kilometres away keeps asking when I or the mates are coming down at daybreak or before to cull some rabbits from his garden in front of his house, alternative is he says to come down very late afternoon and spotlight from his front doorstep. Problem is he wants us to supply his dinner (rabbit).....
.... and he likes his Bourbon. Could be a rough trip home driving back through the paddocks.
Pretty good area around here, even the ex-city dwellers and their small blocks know what firearms are all about even if they can't play themselves. They don't like their garden destroyed or their chooks eaten by ferals.
Let off a semi-automatic and you get comments like....by gee you must be quick loading that rifle....
My shooting / testing range is 10 metres from my front doorstep. Rural property.
