Membership

Membership Fees

​

  • Our annual membership fee is $60 per year. Membership for Juniors is free. Note that our membership fee is IN ADDITION to ongoing SSAA membership, which you will need to maintain separately (it can be done online).

  • Fees are normally due at the Annual General Meeting in June, but new members pay a pro-rata rate when they join. Our Treasurer will advise what membership fee applies during the joining process below. 

  • You'll also need a range pass for the SSAA Majura complex. If you don't have one don't worry - you can pay with your membership fee (and pro-rata rates also apply for new joiners). Range passes cost $70/year, $35/year for pensioners, or $85 for a family (where all members live at the same address).

​

How To Join Us

​

  • We like to talk to you about our club and your shooting needs to make sure that we are a good fit for each other (so we don't do online sign up - sorry). If you already have a firearms licence for the shooting you want to do, come along to any MFC shoot - preferably for the sub-discipline you are most interested in (see our Range Calendar for a list of programmed shoots).

  • Unlicenced potential members are required to attend an Introduction Shoot - either rifle or pistol as applicable. Booking is essential by emailing mfc.act.dc@gmail.com. Rifle introduction shoots are done on the third Sunday of each month. Note that training places for pistol are very limited and it may be some months before you'll be able to attend a pistol introduction.

  • Join the SSAA. If you mainly shoot with us at Majura we ask you to set your home branch to Canberra (A01) as it means SSAA ACT gets extra funds for range maintenance etc.  You can join the SSAA and change your branch online at www.ssaa.org.au/members/membership/.

  • Email mfc.act.dc@gmail.com to request a membership form. If you wish to shoot pistol, your email should also request to register interest in the H Class probationary course.  In your email you should include the following:

    • Specify when you did your introductory shoot

    • Specify SSAA membership status

    • Advise if you already have a range pass - if not advise if you qualify for a concession or wish to purchase a family range pass

    • Advise if you already have an A/B (rifle) licence

  • Fill out and return the MFC membership form. Once we get your form, we'll let you know what the fees are for the remainder of the financial year.

  • Pay MFC membership (and range pass if not already held). Note that potential pistol shooters will not be allocated a place on the H Class probationary course or be allowed to attend an initial "safe handling" shoot (NSW residents only) unless you are a current financial MFC member.

 

If you do not have a firearms licence, we can help you obtain one - see our applicable pages on the site. 

 

If you have questions, please contact the Discipline Coordinator Ian Jimmieson preferably via email mfc.act.dc@gmail.com or on 0407 397 317.
