An endorsement is an official document that SA Hunters issues to members in support of a firearm licence application. It confirms that the specific firearm in question is suitable for the purpose for which the applicant is motivating, but it does not replace the motivation itself.
SA Hunters issues endorsements free of charge, within 24hours, for members who have signed and submitted the application themselves. The Association does not issue endorsements at the request of or to a third party. As soon as it is issued, the member receives an SMS message that the endorsement is available to download on his/her profile on the online member administration system.
Endorsements are issued for the following categories according to statutory prescripts:
- .22 Rimfire Rifles and Semi-Automatic Rifles
- Dedicated Sport Shooter
- Occasional Sport Shooter
- Dedicated Hunter
- Professional Hunter
- Occasional Hunter
- Handgun Hunting
- Self Defence
