Thread: B cat licence?

Check out your nearest club or the club that shoots the type of discipline you are keen on. Go and meet them and intro yourself. The club will explain the process but basically you need to join a club, pass your probation period of 12 shoots within 6 months and apply for your endorsement.

Most clubs seem to have vastly different training requirements. With some using rimfire as the preferred training pistols and others letting you train on all sorts of pistols. Find a club that suits you and if possible has midweek shoots etc in case your a shift worker.

Once you have your endorsement then you do need to commit to 12 club shoots or activities per year. This can be range maintenance, club meetings, or competitions/shoots.

Clubs cater for .22 Olympic match shooting or ISSF, NRA action, cowboy action, IPSC or practical and Service Match. I love IPSC and Service but there are so many other styles to give a go as well. Opps I forgot, but there is also Black Powder and long range stuff like Metallic Silhouette.

It is a fun sport and very addictive if the bug bites you. Check out youtube for IPSC and NRA Action or Service Pistol etc. Be keen to help out at the club by scoring and patching etc and your 6 month probation will fly by.

Cheers.
