Target shooters & Collectors have to be members of a Club
hunters do not need to be a member of a club, but can be if they wish. If the hunter does not join SSAA , they require a statutory declaration from a property owner/property manager who will allow them onto their property to hunt (this goes with their application to FAR and means no involvement with a Club once their licence is issued).
