What do bow hunters do? Not welcome at the NZDA?

Of course bow hunters are welcome

The licence thing has nothing to do with the NZDA it is now the LAW that all shooting clubs have to registered as such if they use a range, part of this is the requirement that all members who have a FAL have their number recorded by the Club

Anyone can join the NZFA, you don't have to have a licence or even be a hunter, lots of people shoot targets, take photos etc

As far as I'm concerned the main reason to be a member of the NZDA is for advocacy, its the reason I joined twenty+ years ago with the hope my future grandkids would be able to still go hunting if they wanted to

There are many other benefits, insurance, discounts, etc
