JOINING Whangārei Pistol Club

Joining WPC takes seven to twelve months and there are no shortcuts or exceptions. Pistol shooting is a privilege that we want to be available to all New Zealanders, and this requires diligence, vigilance and stubbornness.

There are three stages to joining WPC — the process is the same for all pistol clubs in New Zealand:

1. Doing the paperwork dance with New Zealand Police, WPC committee, and Pistol New Zealand;
2. Putting in the time and ammunition to know how to handle a pistol safely, shoot a pistol safely, and have a grand ol’ time safely.
3. Doing one more paperwork dance because you’ve shown yourself to be
   a. a fit and proper person to shoot pistols, and
   b. the club trusts you enough to shoot on its ranges.
