Correct confirmation documentation is important for appropriate evaluation purposes.
NHSA Postal Targets may not be used for Target Practice
Members are requested to keep originals of electronically submitted practice targets for at least three months after submission, and to ascertain that they keep documentation which can serve as confirmation that a practice target was shot on a specific range on a specific day for verification purposes by the NHSA office, should that be required (i.e. receipt, range stamp with date on target, photo of range register of the day, day shooter sticker issued at clubs, etc.).
Note 1: target practice is to be conducted in a formal manner on an accepted shooting range or on a NHSA Exco approved farm range.
Exclusion 1: shooting of tin cans or box targets behind the dam wall is not perceived to constitute target practice as an appropriate dedicated activity, as only sport shooting on publically acknowledge ranges or on an Exco approved farm/private ranges are perceived to constitute sport shooting.
