Tuesday evenings 7.30pm – 10.30pm. Bookings are essential for visitors. Please email us at: northcoterifleclub@hotmail.com
Only email bookings are accepted. Please email us and include:
You will be advised by return email of the next available date. If you do not confirm this date as soon as possible, the booking may be lost. NOTE: There may be a waiting list.
Yes, however, just looking won’t give you a full appreciation of what our sport is about – you need to try it! Bookings are essential as we need to assign a coach for every visitor. Our club has fixed programs running throughout the year, and these take priority. So unless you have a confirmed booking, don’t be disappointed if you don’t get to shoot.
The introductory session fee costs $35.00.
A non-refundable $20.00 deposit is required at time of booking.
The balance of $15.00 is due on the night.
EFTPOS is not available.
No, but we can only allow you a limited number of visits. If you wish to continue, you will need to become a club member.
There are two fees involved. You must become a member of our club and of our governing body, Target Rifle Victoria.
As a visitor, there are no other fees. As a club member, a $10.00 nightly range fee gives you unlimited use of the range.
No. Owning or shooting a rifle has legal responsibilities, so for this reason, we can’t allow it.
You will be taken through a Range and Firearms Safety Induction before your session on the range. A session takes approximately 20 minutes. Allow at least two hours for your visit.
A coach will set you up in the prone position and assist you as needed. You will shoot 15 rounds of ammunition at your own target card.
Shooting at a target from a laying down position.
No. Everything, including the ammunition, will be provided. However, it is recommended that women wear pants as the coach will need to check your shooting position from various angles.
Don’t worry, every visitor gets a coach by their side to provide assistance.
Safety is our prime concern, and we insist that all visitors have a coach. Our style of shooting is very different from field shooting, and as a visitor, you will not be familiar with our techniques or safety procedures.
As a visitor, a firearms licence is not required, but you will only be allowed to attend for a limited time. Handling firearms comes with legal responsibilities, and all club members are required to obtain a firearms licence. This licence will allow you to purchase a rifle and ammunition and to store, transport, and shoot it.
No. Firearms licences are only issued for specific purposes. Our club is strictly about competitive target shooting on a Target Rifle Victoria approved range. This category of firearms licence is not valid for hunting.
Minimum age is 16, and children need to be accompanied by an adult.
Yes. This is one of the few sports where men and women can compete equally in the same events.
No. We are licensed for .22” calibre, single-shot bolt-action target rifles only. These are designed especially for our sport. Any rifle with a telescopic sight or a magazine is not allowed.
There is very little to no recoil, and the sound is not deafening. However, we provide everyone with hearing protection.
Look at a 50 cent coin from 20 metres away to get a rough idea, and the bullseye is the size of a pinhead. It’s not as hard as it sounds!
