Home / Join the club
Make it your sport
Membership gives you a place to practise, learn and enjoy the sport with other shooters. You might be starting a new interest, joining with your family or working towards your next competition. There is room for all of those ambitions at CLDPC.
Juniors and families
A sport the family can enjoy together
We aim to keep membership affordable, with generous discounts for juniors, spouses and partners. Families can learn the same skills, encourage each other and enjoy being part of the club together.
Contact the club for current membership fees and the options that suit your household.
Membership
Membership options
New to shooting? You don’t need to choose a membership category before speaking with us. We’ll explain the options and help you understand the steps involved.
"H" Licence — Full membership
For Category H licence holders. Full access to all five ranges, club competitions, and the sanctioned matches we host each year.
"A/B" Licence — Target shooting
For A/B licence holders who need target shooting as a genuine reason. We are an approved target shooting club, and monthly competitions support your participation requirements.
"G" Licence — Collector
Collector club membership. Our collectors group meets on the last Sunday of each month, with featured items every meeting — historic through to modern.
No commitment
Try first. Decide later.
If you haven’t tried pistol shooting, start with a supervised introduction. It gives you a chance to experience the sport and meet people at the club before deciding whether to join.
If you would like to continue, we’ll explain membership, training and the relevant licensing or permit pathway.
Licensing
Obtaining your pistol licence
Firearms licensing in NSW is overseen by the NSW Police Firearms Registry. The process to obtain a full Category H (handgun) licence takes at least 12 months and involves three broad steps.
Join a pistol club
Pistols are tightly regulated in NSW, and there are only two reasons anyone holds a licence for one: their job, or target shooting. We can't help with employment licences — but anyone who wants to hold a Category H licence for target shooting must be a member of a registered target pistol club. CLDPC is one such club.
Probationary licence
After joining, you undergo safety training and become eligible to apply for a Category H licence. If successful you enter a 12-month probationary period: you can participate in pistol shooting events, with limits on owning and possessing Category H firearms. The government sets mandatory participation requirements — at least 3 shooting activities in your first six months, and a further 3 in your second six months.
Category H licence
After completing probation, including all participation requirements, you can apply to the NSW Police Firearms Registry for a full Category H licence. From then on you must remain a member of a licensed pistol club and take part in at least 6 competitive shooting matches each year for which a score is kept.
Not licensed yet and not sure you want to be? Start with an introductory session — no licence needed, and nothing committed.
Getting started
Where to begin
Three ways in, depending on where you are starting from.
New to shooting
Arrange a supervised introduction and find out whether the sport is for you.
Ready to join
Speak with the club about membership, training and the next steps.
Already licensed
Tell us what you shoot and we’ll help you explore membership and opportunities at CLDPC.
Firearms safety training
Courses run at the club
Handgun — Probationary Pistol Licence
Safe handling courses for a Probationary Pistol Licence (“H” licence) are available by contacting the club directly. The requirement is an initial safe handling presentation including firing a pistol, two further visits within the following 30 days again demonstrating safe handling and following range orders, and a final assessment of safe handling practice. A safe handling certificate is then supplied with your application for club membership, as required by the NSW Police Firearms Registry.
Longarms — A/B safety training
We are also a registered target shooting club, which satisfies the genuine reason requirement for owning a firearm. Monthly competitions support your attendance compliance. Contact the Secretary to book a time.
