Renewal
Club Coach renewal requires evidence of continuing satisfactory performance of the relevant role. This is normally provided by a letter from the secretary of your NSRA-affiliated shooting club. Again, it is important to apply for renewal before your existing licence expires. It will be helpful to send the club secretary your logbook or a copy of it.
