This got me thinking. My cat H license is not due to expire for another 2 years. Am I at risk getting my license cancelled \ suspended if I'm not part of a shooting club? This would certainly be a pain in the backside if that was the case.

Discuss this requirement with your club and explain the reasoning for taking a break.

Financial. Hit a brick wall with mounting credit with constant stand downs with covid. It makes sense to sell my two prize possessions but im going to hang onto them as long as i can. They're irreplaceable to me.Sarco wrote:However your club may expect you to turn up and shoot (club guns) occasionally.

Turn up as a non-member and shoot while being covered under insurance? tricky. Maybe i can get a suspended associate membership?, again tricky.
They're pretty rigid in their rules I was advised by the committee.
Sounds like I don't have many options regardless of whether I put my firearms into storage or not.
I'll have to find another club where they offer payment plans for membership.
can anyone recommend a club in the northern suburbs of Melbourne that offer Service 25 , 50 and practical ? I can give practical a miss for a year, If I have to.
thanks

They cost I think 30 dollars a year and then if you can find the ability to do the minimum shoots your state requires (keeping in mind many have reduced participation requirements) that may be the most cost effective way of keeping the pistolas as well as your licence
Danny wrote:My normal club i shoot at weekly is $400 a year. Shooters union gives you genuine reason similar to the ssaa in qld. They don't have any ranges as such but there's a few ranges you can shoot at with their membership as a fee per shoot sort of arrangement

Because life is chaotic at the moment, I have to take a break from my pistol club for at least 12 months.
