Equipment that will be needed

Initially, it will be important to purchase a shooting glove to protect your hand.  These are available in the equipment shop for around $60-$80. You will also need to purchase air pellets, which are around $9 - $12 for a tin of 500 pellets.  Targets will be available at the range.

You will be able to borrow good quality rifles, and these will be available to you until you are ready to purchase your own rifle.

Firearms Licence

If you are over 18 years of age and wish to purchase your own rifle immediately, you will need a firearms licence.  However, if you decide to use the rifles provided in the Targeting Talent Program, it is not necessary to get a firearms licence straight away.

As part of your participation in the Targeting Talent Program, you will receive instruction on safety and other important elements of rifle shooting.  You will then be able to do the necessary test through Target Rifle South Australia for your firearms licence.
________________________________________________________________________________
Membership You will need to become a financial member of one of the Clubs that are associated with Target Rifle South Australia, (TRSA).  TRSA is a member of Target Rifle Australia (TRA), which is a member of Australian International Shooting Limited (AISL).  It is through Australian International Shooting Limited that high performance shooting is managed.

Competitions

It is expected that Targeting Talent participants will initially enter local competitions.  Other competitions will be included on the yearly schedule at an appropriate time.
