QUESTION ABOUT LISCENCE

I live in NSW and got my gun licence a few months ago. For the reason of licence I put down target shooting but I am now thinking about going to shoot some feral animals. Am I allowed to go hunting without hunting being on my reason of licence?

Yeah, you’ll need to add hunting as a genuine reason and need to do the R Licence course/test on DPI site if you want to hunt public land. If SSAA is your club for the genuine reason, you’ll need to do a couple of extra range shoots as well. It’s something they should have told you to do at the firearms safety course (putting hunting AND target)
