Range Rules

Read The Signage

All shooting at Bowral Pistol Club ranges is to be shot in accord with the specific range rules and club by-laws prominently displayed at each range.

Safety Is Paramount

It is the responsibility of each shooter to be conversant with the rules and ensure that all shooting is carried out in a safe and enjoyable way.

Scheduling

In the case of a clash of range use, national and state titles take precedence over club shoots and scheduled matches take precedence over unscheduled matches. In addition, range schedule has priority, this can be seen on display at the range.

Service Pistol Match

The main Service Pistol Match shot at Belanglo is the 25m Service Match. Pistols used for the Match are short barrelled centrfire revolvers, typically .38 or 357M calibre.

The Match requires shooters to fire a sequence of shots in various positions (lying, sitting, kneeling and standing) at different ranges (from 8 to 25m), shooting against the clock.

Service Pistol Matches are shot on the 1st Sundays of each month. Contact Tom Mazar on 0418 455 185.

Single Action

Single Action Shooting requires shooters to use the guns of the Old West - single action Colt Style Revolvers, Lever Action Rifles and Shotguns. Shooters are expected to dress in the style of the Old West and to take on shooting names reminiscent of the period.

Matches are scored on speed and accuracy. Shooting at steel plates, typically some 10 - 20 m away, the shooter is required to use each of their four guns as fast as possible, in prescribed sequence, with severe penalties for misses.

Single Action shooting takes place on the 1st Sunday of each month. Contact Hank Dykstra on 0418 248 693.

Metallic Silhouette

Metallic Silhouette is a series of matches which involves shooting metal cutouts of chickens, pigs, turkeys and rams cut to various scales and set at varying distances from the competitor, depending on the specific match.

All the matches at Bowral Pistol Club are 40 shot matches. The matches can be shot from the standing, prone or creedmore positions.

Metallic Silhouette shooting takes place on the 2nd Sunday of each month.

IPSC

In IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation) a variety of target types are used (paper, steel, stationary and moving, scoring targets and penalty targets). There is no set way these targets are arranged or how many targets are used in a match.

The competition organiser creates a number of 'stages' to create a shooting challenge that competitors have to solve as accurately and as quickly as possible.

IPSC shooting every Sunday, match starts at 10am, Contact Garry White on 0416 421 044 or Ed Schulz on 0418 246 458

Rifle Shooting

As the name suggests we are primarily a pistol club, but we are approved by the NSW Firearms Registry for rifle shooting but restricted to a velocity of only 1500ft Lead Pistol Cartage per second and must show proof of membership of APA.

Lever action rifles are an integral part of the Single Action shooting sport where they are used in conjunction with single action pistols and shotguns
