TRY SHOOTING
You’ve never done pistol shooting before, think it’s something you might like doing but are a little unsure. Sound familiar? Why not come join us on one of our Try Shooting days.
MEMBERSHIP
Our membership fees are excellent value. As a member you are only responsible for the cost of your ammunition and patches for the targets. We do not charge on-going range fees, or require members to purchase their own targets.
Obtaining your pistol license
Firearms licensing in NSW is overseen by the NSW Police Firearms Registry. The process to obtain a full Category H (Handgun) license will take at least 12 months and involves the following broad steps.
1
JOIN A PISTOL CLUB
The use of pistols in NSW is highly regulated with licenses generally being issued for two reasons, those being employment or target shooting. We can’t help you with employment licenses but if you are interested in the sport of target shooting that’s a different matter. Any person wishing to hold a Category H (Handgun) license for target shooting purposes must also be a member of a registered target pistol club. CLDPC is one such club.

PROBATIONARY LICENSE
After joining a pistol club, you will undergo safety training and be eligible to apply for a Category H Firearm license. If successful you will enter a 12 month probationary period where you will be able to participate in pistol shooting events but will have limitations on owning and possessing Cat H firearms.
There are government imposed mandatory participation requirements for probationary license holders. You must participate in at least 3 shooting activities in the first six months of your probation and a minimum of a further 3 shooting activities in your second six months of probation.

CATEGORY H LICENSE
After completing your 12 month probationary period including all participation requirements, you will be eligible to apply to the NSW Police Firearms Registry for a full Category H license.
All target pistol shooters with Category H licenses must continue to remain a member of a licensed pistol club and continue to actively participate in the sport by taking part in at least 6 competitive shooting matches each year for which a score is kept.
