Getting a Licence

    Howyiz.
    I've recently spent some time in Tasmania, where I was bitten by the shooting bug while staying on the mot's uncles farm. Was just wondering, what exactly is involved in joining a gun club here, I don't know anyone with any land here, but it's something I'd like to get into.

    Is there an easily summarised checklist out there?

    *quick edit
    Thanks for any info! :D

    Good advice there from kildare.17hmr!

    Make sure to also check out the Garda Commissioners Guidelines (in addition to the FCA1 form itself) - There's a wealth of "information" and "guidance" in that document which you should make yourself aware of, before completing the form: Garda Commissioners Guidelines

    And have a good ol' read of this sticky in the Announcements section on here too:Announcement on Boards.ie & Info on Licence Stuff

    It's not too clear from your O/P which type of shooting you wish to take part in? This will make a big difference to how you go about completing the form and getting your licence. If you could let us know, more pertinent advice can be given for your specific interests.

    :cool:
