PARTICIPATION
a. Only NHSA members may participate in NHSA In-House Postal Target Shooting through the whole year, and in the Annual National Postal Target Shooting Competition (September/October annually).
b. Members shoot targets on recognised shooting ranges of their choice (see NHSA friendly ranges on the website under postal target shooting). They then enter the scores they achieve on their personal Scores page on their Personal Natshoot web page, and upload the scanned shot target (in PDF format) where they enter their scores.
c. Their scores are then either approved or declined at the office. Scores and dates on which these were achieved are then available on the personal page of a member for as long as he/she remains a paid-up member, and can be used as proof of participation in sport-shooting or target practice when application is entered for a new firearm licence (or for renewals). Members are thus in effect in control of their own activities, can build up an own record of which they are in control, and obtain official proof thereof whenever they would want same from their personal page on the website.
d. Members use the firearm they own, as is, and in the way in which they have adapted these to suit their own needs (open or scoped sights).
e. Members may also use the firearms of their colleagues as long as this is done in a legal manner in the presence of the licence holder.
f. Members may shoot individually or they may organise local groups to shoot simultaneously.
g. NHSA members usually shoot at least 3 in-house events per annum – as they are all serious about firearm ownership and the responsible handling of such firearms.
