Full

Receive all benefits of CPSA membership. To find out more please click here .

Clubman

Aimed at individual shooters and club members who currently do not belong to the CPSA. This scheme ensures that Clubman members have public liability and personal accident insurance along with our Pull! magazine (Pull! magazine is not available to Overseas Clubman members). It is possible to upgrade to another membership category at any time with members only being charged the pro-rata increase.
This membership allows the individual to shoot and try out CPSA registered events on a targets only basis at one nominated CPSA (Registered, Premier or Premier Plus) club/ground. It should be noted, however, that scores from these events are not submitted to CPSA Head Office and therefore not used towards any form of classification.

Veteran

Persons must be 60 years of age when applying for this, and their date of birth must be given.

Disabled

This new membership category was launched for Disabled shooters in January 2006, allowing shooters to gain a CPSA classification, but allowing the benefit of reduced cost membership. To receive this membership type please send a copy of your registered disability status to CPSA HQ along with your membership application.

Junior

Persons must be between the ages of 16 and 21 years when applying for this membership, and their date of birth must be given. They must be under the age of 21 when entering into competitions in this category.
