Note 1    These members can shoot at NZCTA matches by paying a daily fee of $10 (a two day provincial would cost $20), over and above all
          other championship costs and levies. This applies to National, Island, Provincial and Zone matches and is there to allow restricted
          shooters to experience and participate in a championship event without having to commit to full membership.

Note 2    Exception: Cosi club members at Cosi club shoots held on NZCTA grounds.

Note 3    Rule Book will only be issued to new members, although they are available on request to existing members.

Note 4    For competition, Juniors must be under 18 on the day of the competition (DTL and Skeet). Other disciplines have discipline specific
          categories.

Once your application form has been processed by the National Office, your handicap book (for new shooters) or sticker (for returning
members) shall be forwarded to your nominated club. Club membership fees are additional to NZCTA registration fees.
