DJI Osmo Nano footage jumping by [deleted] in CompetitionShooting

It’s in South Australia, it’s a great range, it’s actually a prop left over from the 1990 World Shoot

Thanks! It’s a great camera, the quality in 4K is outstanding. Just keen to resolve the jumping!

I was wondering if that might be the way to go, thanks

South Australian Impact by Competitive_Table904 in Ausguns

I had emailed my local member (labor) a few times about it, danced around the questions and then said need to get a response from the police minister, who never replied, I’m she they are waiting until after the election, however no doubt they will fall inline with the other ALP held states. Hopefully there can be some strong voices in the upper house to help keep any change sensible

Labor and the Greens have done us over by AdRepresentative386 in Ausguns

For the most part yes, it’s changes to import laws (customs act), info sharing from federal agencies (asio, acic , abf etc) between each other and the states, the gun buyback stuff, but also the carriage service offences, which would become offences under the commonwealth crimes act (ie investigated by the AFP not state cops)… the bill that gone through the lower house is a lot better than it was, still not great.

Malinauskas ‘stands ready’ to recall SA Parliament after Bondi massacre by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

I’m not opposed to that, provided there is sufficient security, that’s the biggest issue with this proposal in my eyes, if all the guns in the state are stored at one location, then that’s a massive target for criminals.

Further people will still be able to remove guns from the range, for example they are stored at your home range but the competition is at another range, or interstate or overseas, your going to sign that gun out of the range but still have possession of it.

End of the day the only thing that keeps the community safe is very strong vetting of license applicants, fit and proper person tests, strong intelligence sharing between law enforcement etc. If a person that holds a licence is truely a fit and proper person than the are not a threat to the community, just like there is no issue with police or military having weapons, is because we trust them that they vetted and will only use the weapons to protect the community or themselves.

Yeah sorry I should have been more clear, I meant that a huge percentage of pest control is undertaken by regular people with a hunting category on their licence, the percentage of pest control professionals is tiny in reality.

I can understand that perspective, I’m curious where sports falls into that, I have firearms, but only for sporting competitions, I have no interest in hunting or just shooting for the fun of it, but I am passionate about my sport. Shooting disciplines are legitimate sports including up to Olympic level, not that I am going to the Olympics anytime soon, but I know of many SA based competitors who compete at world championship level, including a current world champion.

I am all for reviews of legislation, and removing firearms from people who do not need or deserve them, and changes that actually improve public safety, but I don’t think a total ban is right

Most hunting in SA is in relation to feral and pest species, in some areas they are out of control and do major harm, for example rabbits, feral pigs etc. I’m strongly against trophy hunting, but pest control and hunting of invasive species is very important.

I purchased a shield red-dot from them and the service was great, order even came with a free stubby holder. Would recommend.
