Safe Handling and Membership
Once you have reviewed the FAQs from FAR and have references, let us know, and we will arrange for you to attend one of our training days to undergo Firearms Safe Handling training. You will need to pre-pay via credit card. We will not accept cash on the day, as we have had a few people drop out, or attend with a plan to pay at a later stage.
This will give you some practical experience handling firearms, and the Club will assess your fitness for membership, and collect fees.
