Maybe they've finally upped their game. It would be great if they did. Its a bit of a shame for new shooters who are keen to get into the sport and learn, only to
have to wait 150 days.

Same here mate... been checking it since i posted lol.

Hopefully tomorrow is our day. I thought I may have stuffed up the address, because, I dont think its taken this long for anyone. But now I guess its just a delay from service NSW since you are also still waiting.

Not sure how it can only be a few days for a new licence...

"Before any new firearms licence can be issued, there is a legislated mandatory 28-day waiting period from the date of application."

Yeah hopefully. Seems marksman got his the following Friday. We seem to be on the exact same timeline as him. Hopefully, well be able to apply for PTA's on Tuesday. Would be amazing to start the 30day wait.

No. Not licence. PTA. Didn't have glasses on when posting. But I can tell you that it will take longer to get a new licence AND if certain inquiries are wrapped up it will be even harder to obtain certain licences.
Sorry for the confusion. :roll:

Had my first hunt this weekend with a club loaner rifle. Awesome fun. Well worth the wait. Hang in there guys. Can’t wait for my PTA to pick up own rifle now!

Can I ask, did you solo hunt or go with your club?

I am really interested in hunting and want to get into it, but alas none of my my mates are into shooting, and my current rifle club is a target shooting club?

I am already a member of the SSAA, so I was thinking I might look into from that way.

I have been bow hunting with a mate for the last 3-4 years. So this wasn’t much of a step up. Get involved with your local hunting club. Get your R licence if your in NSW so you can hunt public land. And just get out bush.

Officially fully Cat H licensed finally! Went down to Service NSW office today and paid. Now just have to wait for my licence to arrive (Not that it bloody matters since our range is still shut!). 116 days since application. Now to get some PTA applications ready.
Remember, even when those who move you be kings, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God you cannot say "but I was told by others to do thus" or that "virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice.
