A bit of history…
Cranbourne Dandenong Pistol Club Inc. (CDPC) has a rich history, having been in existence for over 70 years. One of the oldest pistol clubs in Victoria, established with the goal of fielding a team for the Melbourne Olympic Games. Today, our club is run by a dedicated team of volunteers who work together to ensure that the club operates smoothly and provides a safe, friendly, and welcoming environment for members. If you’re looking for a historic and well-managed pistol club in Victoria, CDPC is the perfect choice.
Come down and meet the family of Cranbourne Dandenong Pistol club!
We are an inclusive club that welcomes individuals and families of all levels to participate in the exciting sport of pistol shooting. Our club offers various competitions and activities that are open to anyone aged 12 years or older. With a focus on accuracy and speed, pistol shooting is a challenging and rewarding sport that requires skill and dedication.
Our experienced trainers are accredited and approved to teach new members the basics of firearm handling, usage, and shooting, ensuring that everyone can participate safely and confidently. CDPC also provides handgun and rifle safety courses that are approved by Victoria Police, making it easy for members to obtain the necessary licenses to participate in the sport.
