Membership to the NZHA is not conducted by mail order.
All prospective members are required to participate on a public night, on either the rifle or shotgun range, and be observed by a Club Range Officer.
Public range nights are held every Tuesday from 7pm till 10pm with no new shooters being admitted after 8.30pm.
On completion of a membership form, it must be signed by the Range Officer on duty that night to confirm that they have seen you shooting in a safe manner whilst observing the range rules.
The completed form is then submitted to the membership secretary.
Once you submit your application form, you will be invited by email to a club induction course and must pay the $60 joining fee to participate on the course.
This fee covers administration costs and your photo ID card and is only applicable to the primary applicant and not spouses or juniors.
The induction course covers the range rules for both the shotgun and rifle ranges and at the end of the course, you will be asked to complete an online questionnaire.
The questionnaire is about the use of the range and its associated rules.
Upon passing this course you will be eligible to become a full member.
Once you have paid your pro-rata rated invoice, you photo ID membership card can be collected early on a Tuesday night, upon presentation of a current firearms license.
Membership categories are:
Full financial member – $220 per annum
Spouse – $10.00 per annum
Junior – $10.00 per annum
Student – $100.00 per annum (Those eligible for student membership must provide student I.D.)
A spouse membership must be linked to a member.
In the case of a junior membership, he or she does not have to be a family member but has to have a sponsor member who is prepared to take the responsibility for the unlicensed shooter as defined by the Arms Act.
