Metropolitan Pistol Club encourages Junior pistol shooters wanting to join the sport, so Junior membership is free. Note that a minor cannot possess a firearm, until they can hold an adult licence.

The requirements for applying for a Junior Membership is as follows:

FIRST:

1. Download and complete form QP515 Application for Statement of Eligibility from the QPS website or a police station, to ensure you are a fit and proper person to hold a license. Click here for further reading regarding requirements for minors’ licence eligibility requirements.

2. In addition, please prepare:

• Proof of address (letter from parent/guardian)
• A copy of birth certificate or passport or learners permit (for proof of age)
• Letter from Parent/Guardian permitting Junior to apply for licence

3. Then submit your completed application and paperwork into police at Police Station.

4. When a ‘Form 36’ is received by applicant from the Police, you can now apply to join Metro Pistol Club.

THEN:

Metropolitan Pistol Club requirements:

• birth certificate, passport or learner’s permit (for proof of age)
