What We Do
IPSC Shooting
IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation) shooting is a dynamic style where you draw a handgun from a holster, and engage a variety of targets from cardboard to steel plates that must fall to score. It is shot on an individual basis with a trained Range Officer close by, watching your every move for safety.
Scoring for IPSC matches is based on your speed and accuracy. The handguns used are many and varied, ranging from 9mm to 38/357, with divisions from production, out-of-the-box handguns, to open division, where almost anything is allowed.
Standard Pistol Shooting
Standard pistols are shot on a 25 metre range, with .22 rimfire target pistols. 5 shots are fired at each series, and scored. As the match progresses, the allowable times get shorter, with a total of 60 shots fired over the match.
25 Metre Pistol Shooting
Similar to Standard Pistol Shooting, this type of match is shot on a 25 metre range, however using centrefire pistols. The match has two components – a precision series with more time available to shoot, and a dueling series where a shot is fired every time the target turns towards you, both with a total number of 60 shots fired over the match.
Field Gun
Field Gun is an ever-evolving match consisting of pistol-calibre rifle, shotgun, and pistol. With the involvement of movement, it makes for an exciting and dynamic match. It also allows club members to shoot all three categories.
Service Pistol Shooting
Service and Action pistol matches are shot over multiple distances, ranging from 7 metres to 50 metres, using centrefire handguns. Depending on the match classification, a holster may or may not be used. Using a holster requires additional training and accreditation.
Air Pistol Shooting
Air pistol is shot at a distance of 10 metres, using a .177 air, carbon dioxide, or spring-powered air pistol.
Free Pistol Shooting
Free pistol shooting is shot on a 50m range, usually using specialised .22 rimfire target pistols, however any .22 pistol can be used (but may become very challenging).
Metallic Silhouette Shooting
Metallic silhouette is shot over four distances – 12 metres, 25 metres, 36 metres, and 50 metres, with small steel animals which vary in size with each distance.
