Guys I am been a member of numerous gun clubs since 16yrs of age. A few pointers in relation to joining a gun club:

1. Normally for NARGC affiliated clubs you must live in the area or have ties to that area.
2. Most clubs only accept membership at an AGM.
3. You will have to be nominated by an existing member who you are known to and seconded by a member
4. Find the local club and approach the secretary or comittee member
There is good reason why it is not very easy to join a local gun club, particulalry when you aren't known and that revolves around lads joining clubs just to get the licence for the fire arm
4. In our area, a vote is had (secret) on your membership and you either get in or don't get in
5. If you have any problems talk to the NARGC

Best of luck with your shooting and try again
