Shooting sports are full of surprises
- Challenging (Count the ways! See below.)
- Fun to spice up every weekend
- Builds character, discipline and skills
- Inexpensive (eg, compared with golf or boating)
- Friendly (shooters will talk your head off!)
- With competitions to challenge those who want fast action against
the clock (like Western Action) as well as those not so active (as an
extreme case, Libby Kosmala, nine times Paralympic gold medallist in
air rifle, who, incidentally, baulked originally at the idea of taking
up the sport in 1970)
- For all ages from sub-teens to seniors (a 2006 gold and silver medal
winner in skeet started shooting at age 11)
- For both genders (that champ, Lauryn Mark, is both an Aussie and a
woman, as is 2008 IPSC World Standard Lady Champion, Claire Giles)
A hundred games to play (not counting hunting)
You can take part in dozens of different shooting disciplines. Most have
many divisions for various categories of firearm, creating a vast variety
of challenges. At our range, we shoot pistol and rifle in both rimfire
and centrefire. And shotgun (as part of Western Action). Catering for
air pistol and rifle is in the pipeline.
Gain your safe handling certification
Do this at the range under the expert tutelage of an SSAA (Sporting Shooters
Association of Australia) qualified testing officer. This helps you gain
your shooting licence. From there you can apply for a Permit to Acquire
your own firearm.
Gain your hunter's R-licence
Do it at the range under the expert tutelage of our training officer
specialising in gaining hunting/conservation status with the NSW Game
Council, which entitles you to book shoots in NSW state forests.
Most weekends at a well-equipped range
