Gun club rules?

stevieboy

Whats the story with gun club rules,are they the same across all clubs or are they differant for each.Can you bring a friend shooting in your club for the day,i taught their was a general rule you could and then you could go shoot on thier clubs land for a day in return..Where can you find the rules?

rules vary from club to club. When you joined the club you should have got a copy of the rules.

Good question - AFAIK - the rules vary from club to club - but will be interesting to see what kind of rules people come back with for their respective clubs.

Spill fellas!

hi most gunclubs the longer serving members make up the rules to suit them selfs and if you ask the were made up long before you joined you wont get a list of them because the dont have one you can get the constitution from the nargc will give you guide lines few years ago there use to be a meeting in our gunclub before the main meeting :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Constitution and rules of the club are requirement for affiliation and must be their. They also only protect the officers of the club if in place. Rules of the clubs can vary but are common sense rules that include items on voting, participation in activities, number of birds allowed to be shot in a day, some clubs only allow weekend hunting

membership criteria (including all funny handshake, dances and required aprons)::osorry thats the other club I'm in.

Also the observation of boundaries, detail the role of the officers and committee. Fundraising activities, Qurom for meetings and voting
Up as far as recently you could download a copy of the rules from the NARGC website.

I will say it again a Club is only as good as its members...If you have a club not performing properly change the Committee and officers. Its a democracy we live in

Every new member to a club is supposed to be given them, ask for them;)

Wish it was so simple, problem is that most clubs the commitee members are always the same lads who actual do something. Hard to get committee members in most clubs because you have to do something and most members just want to pay their dues and that's it

How is that a problem, that then is a good start there are 40 in a club I am in 20 are very active 12 are probably doing most of the work. Become one of the few..Since we are bitching about gun clubs look up the story about the little red hen its your typical club...but to be honest I love the gun club and the characters good and bad. Nothing beats November 1st in the Pub...I like a drink but on the 1st of November I need to take the 2nd off:o. Christmas, New year I will have a drink or two but the 1st of Novemeber Ill sit there slagging, laughing with those usual few lads from the Gun club.

from my experience no, whether for insurance reasons or other reasons but usual its a throwing out offense unless you have prior permission from the committee. Now:P it also depends on who you are as well in some cases LOL;)

Got no rule book with either of my two clubs,what are the rules in yer clubs?

So ****in true! we have a chairman who has stopped calling meetings, I've only myself to blame for that, I challenge him on every single thing he comes up with, this is only because he is constantly trying to benefit himself.

At one meeting he suggested that the club should buy a laptop, I'ld say the daughter was looking for a laptop at home!:rolleyes:

In my gun club I shot a fox 30miles away and they kicked up a big fuss about it because the local Hound club will go mad :eek:
Apparently its against club rules to shoot foxes even if its not their land, how this can be is beyond me but they gave me a yellow card anyway, one more and Im out. For breaking a rule that doesnt exist, lets just say I wont be renewing membership next season

I would challenge them over it anyway, ask to see where it is in the club rules and if it isnt there tell them they cant "yellow card" you

Thats the way I'ld go too, if they can't produce a hard copy of the rules at a meeting, then whatever ruling they make is null and void.

That goes for the minutes aswell if its not written down then it never happened.

As for not being allowed to shoot foxes, thats ridculus. We released birds in an area last year and the following day the hunt ran a pack of hounds through it, I have no sympathy for huntsmen complaining about foxes being shot.

The Club rules define the acceptable actions of the club members. Shooting a fox 30 miles away is no problem if you had permission to do so otherwise you had no right to be shooting the fox on someone elses property 30 miles away, it goes against one of the cardinal rules of respecting another clubs boundary and only shooting where the club has permission to shoot.

From my experience of clubs the rules are only enforced if it suits the chairman.

Well assume fior the sake of argument that he had permission.

If you have permission from the landowner to shoot then it doesn't matter what club you are a member of and besides that he idn't shoot a pheasant or a duck..... it was a fox, any club in their right mind should be delighted that the foxes were being thined out for them.

Well lads just to add to my previous post about "club rules" note the sarcasm in the inverted commas, I shot the foxes on my fathers land 30 miles away from where the gun club I'm a member of is located, I asked for a copy of the club rules and still have yet to see them hence my reason for leaving. The club is a member of the nargc and I will be taking my case to them too on various other reasons too.

They have no case, your well within your rights, I'ld be getting an apology from the chairman. Get on to the local hunt and see if they have a problem with you controling vermin on your own land and if they do........ you can stop them from going on your land too.
