24.01.2022 Hello Members and Guests, apologies for the late post, we had a very good line-up last Saturday with several Members and quite a few Guests trying pistol shooting for the first time, thank you to those Members in attendance for making this a great day. Anyone interested in trying out pistol shooting, please, just message this page and we will do our best to assist you.

24.01.2022 We had a good line-up of 9 Members with today's discipline being Sports/Centre-fire, Scores varied from 189/600 to524/600, only 1 point separated 1st and 2nd place.

24.01.2022 All members are reminded that they must complete a minimum number of Club Shoots if they are to retain their pistol licences. If the requisite number of attendances are not recorded the licence may be lost and pistols will be illegal to hold, that is they will have to be sold or handed in. The Club Annual General Meeting will be held in about 7 weeks time and this marks the end of the club year. Please attend more regularly in order to sort out this situation if you are lacking in attendances. Regards Max Neal OAM Secretary Gilgandra Amateur Pistol Club Inc.

24.01.2022 To All Members and Guests Please be advised that next Saturday, 3 April, we will commence shooting at 2.00 p.m.. We will continue to shoot at 2.00 p.m. until Daylight Saving starts again. Also be advised that this shoot has been designated as the BRIAN DANN MEMORIAL SHOOT. This will be a Modified Free Pistol Shoot. The rules for this shoot allow all shooters to shoot from a supported or 2 hands position. You may lean on a rest and use both hands rather than a single hand to shoot each round. The shoot is basically untimed. By the way this is an excellent chance to zero your guns. Trophies will be provided for the BEST SHOT and the BEST HANDICAP SHOT. A fun day, we hope to see everybody there.

23.01.2022 Hello Members and Guests, we had a good line-up yesterday for Standard Discipline, we hope to see a good line-up next Saturday for Sports/Centre-fire.

23.01.2022 Hello Members and Guests, we had a very enjoyable day yesterday with about 14 Members and Guests present for our Christmas Lunch/Presentation. there will be no shoot on December 26th, and the shoot listed for January 2nd is an error, so our next scheduled shoot will be Centre-fire/Sports Pistol starting at 9 a.m. on January 9th, we will then have our Quarterly Meeting at 12 p.m.

22.01.2022 We had another good line-up yesterday with 8 shooters doing Standard Pistol Discipline, 1 Member doing Range Officer duties, and 1 Member watching, best score of the day was 503/600. Just a reminder that next week will be our AGM starting at 12p.m. followed by a Sports/Centre-fire shoot.
