A firearms licence is broken up into 7 different purposes of use (POU).
1. Club Use
2. Target Shooting (Outside of a club)
3. Hunting
4. Paintball
5. Primary Production
6. Security Industry
7. Other
If you wish to use your own firearms for club competition, then it is a requirment that you join a club and have POU1 added to your licence. Training for this licence upgrade can be done through the club after joining.
For shooters who do not want to shoot at a club, it is not essential to be a club member. However, we recommend that all shooters support an organisation that supports your sport (
SSAA).
