22.01.2022 Been an eventful year, fingers crossed things are nearly back to normal. At this stage we are planning the last Saturday of shooting going to be the 19th December.

21.01.2022 ...the more you cover the non-aiming eye with a blinder the wider the iris of your aiming eye will open. (thanks andrew!)

19.01.2022 This year for International Day of People with Disability, we spoke with Libby Kosmala, Glen McMurtrie, and Mark Farrow. Libby Kosmala is an Australian Paralymp...ic Icon, having won 13 medals at the Paralympics and is an Air Rifle shooter. Glen McMurtrie is an aspiring Paralympic Athlete who is hoping to qualify for Tokyo 2020 in 2021. Mark Farrow was involved in the para trap development 9 years ago where he travelled to Italy, taking part in a range of activities such as balancing on balance boards to try and prove para athletes were capable of shooting clay targets. We spoke to them about how shooting sport has impacted their life, misconceptions about when they travel, and what changes they hope to see in the wider community for people with disability in the future. This International Day of People with Disability, lets acknowledge that we have a long way to go, promise that we won’t stop heading in the right direction, and celebrate the steps we are taking to get there. Shooting Australia today announced its 2021 National Performance Series in all target Shooting disciplines will involve several events that will be fully integrated.

08.01.2022 A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE GYMPIE SMALLBORE RIFLE CLUB By Eddie Powell Early information was gleaned from past founding members, Robert (Bob) Beard, John Cross, Pet...er Brady and from 1971 onward my own recollections. In the 1950’s, no exact date is known, a few local pigeon shooters were looking for a place where they could meet to zero their rifles. There was a rough patch of ground along the side of the then Full-bore Range with entry from Sandy Creek Road. In those days all rifle ranges and safety zones came under the authority of the Australian Army. Permission was gained and these few pigeon shooters had a safe place to meet and zero. After a while the regular shooters began a bit of a friendly rivalry and held competitive shoots between themselves. News got around and soon other shooters became interested in joining the fun. It was not long before it was decided to call it a club. Permission was sought and granted by the Army Administration Department and I am told that they had to have a nominal amount of members. I recall it was 20 or so. See more
