What else is required other then club membership!!!

[rananishant]

I have been reading lots of articles @ IFG and other internet platforms on how to import an Air Pistol. Few things which are common every where is the mention of Rifle club membership. That is not an issue for me but still I have few questions.

1. what is the sense of paying Rs. 12000 to NRAI as membership of 5 years and Rs. 20000 to relish sport or any one else when i can get the same pistol in Rs. 35000 at Sharda Gun house in delhi.
2. If i have a NRAI membership, what else do I need to get the pistol cleared from customs if I order thru Pyramid Airguns.
3. What are the chances of getting the pistol cleared if I do not have renowned shot certificate.

The reason behind these questions is that most of the threads are very old and seldom any new information is shared. All those who are getting there stuff from relish or from any other online source are not giving feedback on their performance. To be frank I do not want to spend Rs 15000 extra if it can be saved. A gun worth $150 or (Rs. 9000) is costing around Rs. 25000 which is almost 3 times.

So my request to all of you is to provide the information as mentioned above. It will not only help me but all those who are interested but not taking up this sport due to the high cost.

Regards to All!!!

you may find that you get more responses if you take time to introduce yourself on the Introductions Forum first, and tell the membership something about yourself and your appreciation for guns. - moderator

Hi Rananishant,

I live in Bangalore and I have KSRA membership which is affiliated to NRAI.

I have paid 5000 for first 6 months membership and then I paid 25K for life time membership which is in total 31K and that is for life time.

I mean no offence, but getting a membership is not just to buy the imported air weapons, we get to handle firearms of different categories. Atleast I enjoy those weapons shooting with them in the range:-)

Your membership gives an addon facility to import the air weapons.

With out membership, you can also buy in few sites like airsoftindia etc which are as expensive as relishsport and airgunindia:-)

I also agree, that just to get clearance from customs, spending so much is mere waste:-)

Why do you think Club membership is only for importing air guns? A good rifle club will give you a place to practice and guidance to hone your skills, have fun with fellow shooters among other things. And if the rifle club has a good outdoor range then you can practice live shooting.
