Let's talk.

Martin Hood was born in the United Kingdom and immigrated to South Africa at a young age. He was schooled in Zimbabwe at Plumtree High School and thereafter attended Rhodes University where he obtained his BA and LLB degrees.

Martin is an avid hunter, sport shooter and keen collector of firearms. This was the motivation behind Martin starting a practice that has a specialised focus on firearm legislation.

He is a member of a number of accredited associations and is or has been an office bearer in many of such associations.

He has been given the status of Dedicated Hunter by the South African Hunters and Game Conservation Association and the South African Wingshooters Association. He has served on the National Council of the South African Wingshooters Association and has contributed towards their publication of wingshooting in South Africa.

He has represented The South African Gun Owners Association (previously spokesperson and attorney), South African Wingshooters Association & Confederation of African Hunting Associations (CHASA).

Martin Hood is also actively involved in a number of associations including the Security Industry Alliance (lobbying for the Security Industry).

He is a dedicated sports person through the Clay Target Shooting Association of South Africa and a collector of restricted firearms, as well as a member of the South African Arms and Ammunition Collectors Association.

Martin Hood represents a number of bodies in the security industry as well as the South African Arms and Ammunition Dealers Association. As a result of Martin’s interest in firearm legislation, his practice has developed a focus on administrative law and administrative remedies with a speciality in reviewing mal administration or a lack of administration.

Martin is married and has one son who is equally as passionate about hunting and firearms as his father.
