The statute is in the Wildlife Act - 33 1 (d)

Now, an argument could be made regarding the wording.
The statute is under a section titled
"Part 4
Hunting and Related Activities
General Rules for Hunting"

A person could try to convince a judge that target shooting in reference to the Wildlife Act is NOT a related activity to Hunting. A good lawyer might even be able to win this case, especially as there are current exemptions to the regulation.

Then the government would amend legislation to make it illegal.
