...we're here to help

We understand that obtaining and acquiring a handgun can be a lengthy and complex process. That’s why we are committed to helping you every step of the way. Our website features a number of informative articles to assist you in navigating this process. Moreover, we also offer personalized assistance to help you complete the necessary paperwork and safety courses required by the Licensing and Regulation Division of Victoria Police (also known as LRD). Additionally, we provide training in safe firearm handling and etiquette to ensure that you are fully prepared to own and use a handgun responsibly.

...come see us!

We’ve been around since 1956! One of the oldest pistol clubs in Victoria that was formed so that teams could be fielded in the Melbourne Olympic Games. And today, we still train to this level.

So give us a call, book a session, come down and see what we are all about. Who knows? Maybe you’re a fan of the Wild West days… enjoy dressing up as Cowboys, or women of the 1800’s, call yourself the next Billy the Kid and will go compete in our fully rehearsed Cowboy Action Shooting where you get to replay the days of the Wild West!

Sound like fun? Let’s do this…
