It is fully legal to sell property letters and 2 well known hunting properties in W.A do it, all the law requires is permission to hunt on a property. They sell you that permission and then you can book a shoot there if you want to later on. What this does is leaves the door open for you to hunt if you want to, because if you licence through club membership you can never go hunting, Wapol won't let you. So many shooters probably get open licences this way then shoot at a club most of the time anyway.
Make no mistake, if Wapol could disarm all of us tomorrow, they would, and they wouldn't give a s**t what any of us think.
Truth of the matter is you should be able to start shooting .22lr at a club on a club licence. Then change your licence later on and get a 308 and shoot pigs on a property. But here in W.A that is not possible.
Ridiculous we should be making the laws weaker, not stronger!!

You obviously have no idea about the subject ! You CAN do that, what is your problem?

Don't even need to change your licence, provided you applied for A/B to begin with. You just need a property letter when you buy the .308.

What do you mean by "attendance issues"?
If you use target shooting as your genuine reason then you can only shoot at clubs, so that's your attendance.
If you have Hunting as your reason then as long as you have a property letter you need not ever "attend" a property to shoot, you could do all your hunting interstate if you wished to.
