Shooting as a hobby provides immense satisfaction, whether for sport or personal enjoyment. However, the complexities of state-specific regulations regarding minimum mandatory attendance can be overwhelming. These rules are essential for ensuring responsible firearm ownership but also need to accommodate life's various demands, such as family and work commitments. This post aims to help shooting enthusiasts understand their obligations and introduce Squadspot as the ideal application to manage these requirements efficiently.

For both club administrators and members, keeping track of shooting attendance is crucial for ensuring compliance with participation rules set by regulatory bodies across Australia. Using modern tools and systems, it’s now easier than ever to log shooting attendance at the club and confirm your participation history.

This feature provides real-time access to your participation records, ensuring you stay compliant with the minimum required shoots for maintaining your membership and firearms license. Whether you're logging in from home or checking on the range, confirming your attendance is just a few clicks away.

By integrating these tracking tools, clubs not only streamline their administrative processes but also provide members with the peace of mind that their participation records are accurate and up to date.
