The association is taking the federal government to court today for kicking them out.
Nice one and good luck!

Sadly not many comments so far on the website but the FB group has attracted a few members. Just not the hundreds I would have expected...

UPDATES 15th JUNE 2012

Apologies for the delay in updates, real life, the boring bit that supports my target shooting habit, has been busier than usual.

We have progressed well with the fund raising, and as I am sure most of your know, the four days set aside for our hearing finished on Friday. Our future, the future of our range, and indeed the very existence of our sport in NSW now rests with the judge. Fingers crossed!

Whilst the court case is over, legal fees continue, and the Commonwealth continue to demand new work placing a heavy burden on our NSWRA’s purse strings.

We would like the next 2 months to be “CLUB MONTHS” where our clubs pull together to make donations in the Buy a Brick campaign as a club. We have already seen some amazing efforts with the R.A.E. – C.M.F Rifle Club, the Aviation Industry Rifle Club, THe Military Rifle Clubs Association, Rail and Tram, and the Alpine Precision Rifle Club raising in excess of A$30,000 alone. What can the rest of us do?

Look out for the flyers and please heed our call to help.
Looks like it's a matter of "watch this space." fingerscrossed

They'll build houses on it......
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
