About
The Inner West Hunters Club is an approved hunting club under the NSW Firearms Act.
The club is established primarily as a low cost, low hassle means of meeting the legal requirements for holding a firearms licence.
Members who attend two meetings of the club each year will satisfy the attendance requirements of the Act in relation to the genuine reason for holding a Firearms Licence.
Members may also comply by participating in club-authorised hunting activities or firearms safety training. The club does not organise hunting trips.
Hunters not based on NSW are also welcome to join.
Meetings
The club meets in one of the meeting rooms at the Burwood RSL, 96 Shaftesbury Rd, Burwood. For the AGM we meet upstairs, and for all other meetings we meet either in the bistro or one of the downstairs meeting rooms at the back of the bistro.
There are four general meetings each year, of which one is the Annual General Meeting. Meetings commence at 8 pm.
The Committee meets prior to each general meeting.
Meeting dates for 2024 are as follows:
- 13 Feb
- 14 May
- 13 Aug (AGM)
- 12 Nov
Firearms Licences
To obtain a firearms licence in NSW, a genuine reason is required. Options include:
- Target shooting as member of a target shooting club. This may include rifles, shotguns or pistols.
- Hunting and vermin control, either through access to a rural property or membership of a hunting club such as IWHC
- Collecting, as a member of a collecting club.
The process of obtaining a firearms licence is described here. Club members are available to assist other members with their applications.
The NSW Police Firearms Registry website has useful information for firearm owners.
There are strict rules governing the storage and transport of firearms and ammunition. Club members should ensure they are familiar with them.
