I know a lot of pilots are shooters so this will not be news to them, from 1000m away….You need to be good.
I'm one. And this Saturday out at the local Rifle Club we're shooting at 900 yards.

And yes, you do have to know what you're doing to get hits in the centre of the target at that sort of distances.

And I also strongly doubt that any Fullbore Shooter would be involved in any such acts of vandalism.

My suspicion is that AsA was looking for reasons to decommission the aid. An opportunity came up when it was vandalised, so they cooked up a very flimsy OH&S case to excuse them from further maintenance.
Agreed.
