HuntFest needs your help to oppose local green groups and make their 2015 event even better.

HuntFest Needs Your Help!


HuntFest is fighting an on-going battle against green extremists in the Eurobodalla region.  They need your urgent support to make next years’ event even better. 

HuntFest’s organisers have applied for an unrestricted Arms Fair Permit so that they can display firearms at the 2015 event, as well as have the ability to sell firearms and ammunition in accordance with NSW regulations.  The unrestricted permit will also allow organisers to make a feature of the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia’s excellent mobile air rifle range at the event. Local green groups are rallying against these plans and the Eurobodalla Shire Council is seeking public comment. 

I urge anyone with an interest in supporting the hunting and shooting sports in this country to make a submission to the Eurobodalla Shire Council, supporting the amendment to the licence.  It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Eurobodalla resident or not – and it’s as easy as sending an email to council@eurocoast.nsw.gov.au  Submissions close on October 8th, so please don’t delay.

HuntFest organisers stress that the Council has stated that submissions must address the issue of amending the licence to allow sale of firearms and ammunition, and the addition of the SSAA 10m Portable Air Rifle Range to the Huntfest Program.

For the record, recent figures show that more than $900,000 went into the local economy out of the two day HuntFest festival this year. With plans for a larger show in 2015, the local community will be the big winner. 

The Council’s press release detailing their call for public comment can be found HERE. Meanwhile you can also read an article in the Batemans Bat Post about the proposed amendments HERE. The article also contains an on-line poll so register your vote in favour of HuntFest while your at it.
