How to become a member of the CTSASA

  1. The first step is to visit a registered Clay Target Shooting club to discover more about our sport and what it entails.  To find a club which suits you, click here:
  2. Once you get hooked (because when you break that first clay, you will definitely be hooked!!) and you decide to take up Clay Target Shooting, the next step is to speak to the club committee and follow their procedure for joining the club.
  3. Your chosen club will then enrol you with the CTSASA or you can sign up directly online (see above).  You can also choose to become a TEMPORARY member (click here to find out more) which will allow you to shoot 2 events before needing to join as a full ordinary member.
  4. Complete and sign a CTSASA  Membership Application Form and submit with your application for club membership.
