The Firearms Control Act requires that the holder of a Dedicated Hunter Certificate must participate in ‘dedicated activities’ in order to maintain the Dedicated Hunter status. The Act also requires that the accredited association (SA Wingshooters) must have a ‘dedicated process’ in place to monitor the continued participation of Dedicated Hunters in the mentioned ‘dedicated activities’. This is the reason why dedicated members are required to submit a Dedicated Activities Report annually to SA Wingshooters. This report is a compulsory legal requirement and is a must in order to maintain your Dedicated Hunter status.

The Wingshooters Pocketbook (of which every member receives one free copy with the compliments of Intervet) includes a complete shooting/hunting/gundog Personal Log incorporating the landowner’s letter of permission. Your signature is a certified statement confirming your activities, and the Personal Log comprises your reference records which you use to draw up a summarised Dedicated Activities Report (next page). The form for this annual report is provided in the following pages in this Dedicated Award Manual, and is also available from the offices of SA Wingshooters, or can also be downloaded in electronic format (PDF) from our website. The report is not complicated and members will find it a simple task to complete, especially using the Personal Log as a reference. The Personal Log is kept by the member as a reference in the event of a request for validation by SA Wingshooters or by the authorities.

Your Dedicated Activities Report must reach us with your membership renewal each year or at least by the end of September. If you are a life member or Club-30 member, the report must reach us before 30 September each year. If you did not shoot or hunt or participate in any dedicated activities, a ‘not-active’ report must still be provided in order to maintain your Dedicated Hunter status (included in the Dedicated Report form below.

We also include a form for the voluntary Gamebird Report, which is so important for gamebird conservation and management in South Africa. Please assist us by completing that too.
