Natshoot - Paragraph 4

NHSA ACCEPTED & APPROPRIATE DEDICATED ACTIVITIES

BASIC PRINCIPLES:

NHSA Accepted & Appropriate Dedicated Activities are understood to be a hunting or sport shooting related activity or event as described below.

The reported activity or event must be:

- strictly legal;

- clearly firearm related as understood in terms of the use of firearms as described in Sections 13, 15 and 16 of the FCA;

- clearly hunting related, or clearly sport shooting related.

For a member’s dedicated activities to be approved by NHSA, an entry MUST, with no exception, be accompanied by attaching documentary confirmation clearly showing that the reporting member had participated in that activity or event (proving documentation must thus be presentable in a court of law). Proving documentation must be scanned in PDF format (or a take a cell phone photo) before being attached to entries please (see details of activities, and of relevant examples below).

This is the only way in which NHSA can responsibly verify that the activity was conducted by the member on said date and place as required by Law, as all our communications in this regard are conducted electronically. We also do not have branches where members come together to formally participate in a specific event which can then be verified as activity participated in there and then.
