Thread: E cat endorsement question

SWP

Contrary to the advise given above, You do not need to be a member of any club to gain an E endorsement (although this will help).

However you will need to provide a genuine reason and upgrade your security to meet the regulations for storage of E endorsed firearms.

Some acceptable reasons are,

You currently compete in, or wish to compete in Military/Service Rifle and or 3 Gun shooting competitions.
Your employed in pest control and require an E endorsed rifle to work as such.
You belong to an incorporated society or approved club who's usual activities include shooting E endorsed rifles.
Or any other lawful use that you may be interested in from time to time.

There's many other reasons but these will get you there.

Good solid Referees are also going to be required.

Many people I know including myself were not members of any such club when we gained our E endorsements when they first came into being.
One of my reasons listed at the time for E endorsement was Goat culling, along with a desire to compete in 3 gun matches.
I listed these reasons again when I went through relicensing at the beginning of this year.

That said the cost of a new stock will be far less in both time, money and inconvenience than applying for E endorsement and upgrading your security.
