Hey I was there, helping score that for OPC

Damn right, get your C and E at the same time as your B, all one fee

The other advantage of C-cat is you can buy a pistol at an auction with your C license then uplift it and transfer it over to your B at your convenience - ya just can't shoot it until it is on your B license

If the powers that be are going to feed us this alphabet soup bullshit we might as well game it to our advantage - after all have y'all seen how little corporate tax gets paid by the likes of Apple in NZ? We're just little fish compared to that sort of a rule dodge

I love pistol shooting, but have found attendance hard to keep up some years due to working weekends and work travel making me have to use weekend days for family.right now I I'm not even in NZ enough weekend to keep it. I really miss nzhpc wed shoots from back in the day as it let me get two attendance in a week if not working on the weekend. the way different clubs count attendance varies a bit as well.Oh and I'm excited to shoot every time I do but its hard to-shoot pistols more out of NZ than in these days-its a pain having to get others to hold pistols for you

good on you gimp for sticking with it

Could you have got your C and transferred them across? Nothing like collecting race guns

Good idea, and then if you felt like doing it again, you just transfer back after renewing B? Are you allowed to do that?

Today I've learnt what a "race gun" is I think....

It's the white one that doesn't like the black one.

Is there a section on here where it outlines the requirements for all types of licence? If not can someone please post them I'd appreciate it.

Cheers Antz

I would love a "B" but resigned myself to it never happening due to the attendance requirements.

when going for the B I'd suggest C and E at the same time.
that way you're doing the administration once. It's a single application fee rather than three separate payments of $200.
-if life gets in the way you can give up your endorsement, sell your pistols to a mate who then sells them back to you on C.
then when you're ready you can get back in to it without having to start from scratch.
Arms officers in some areas aren't too keen to swap any firearms between endorsements for the same person, that's an option to get around it.

Also with the other endorsements means you can partake in multigun or 3 gun shoots, otherwise buy a second pistol and use a carbine stock in the same calibre.

Isn't there supposed to be a cap on the number on C endorsements too? If there is, all the more reason to get in while you can. Shoulda done it when I got my E

I dont see how they can put a cap on a right as a fit and proper person.

Pistol NZ has the restriction of a maximum of 12 Pistol endorsements on the licence at one time. It's in the memorandum of understanding and not in law.
basically it's a self imposed restriction as far as I'm aware. One of those carrots on the stick that apparently keeps pol HQ happy.
Unfortunately that includes any club guns that may be under the responsibility of a club armourer.

there's no restriction on the amount of C endorsed items. I know of a few people with over a few hundred items.
One doesn't even have a safe. He turned his workshop in to a strongroom so everything just sits in racks lining the walls.
