Hi Fellow Shooters Well the time has come work is to commence Thursday the 28-01-2021 so the range is closing Wednesday afternoon the 27th. The builder... wants to erect his signs and safety fences as required so the real work can start on Monday 01-02-21 however as we are having a special meeting on Saturday the 30th at 1.30pm he has relented to let us use the range on that Saturday so there will still be a shoot + a B B Q We expect the range to be shut for approximately 8 weeks weather permitting so please keep your fingers crossed and pray for no rain while our work is being carried out. Locks will be changed Wednesday afternoon and the builder will be putting his own locks on the gates. People who have club guns in their possession please return them no later than Saturday the 30th at our meeting, The committee will still be working so that we can work out all the bits and pieces that still have to be done.

07.01.2022 Dear members and followers, As early voting begins for the 2020 QLD state election. We remind all licensed firearm owners to consider their votes carefully. Early voting starts Monday 19 October. Election day is Saturday 31 October. ... Queensland has no senate. This means that whichever party wins government can virtually pass any kind of legislation it wants. This is also the first election in which MPs will serve for four years. You won't be able to vote again until 2024. The Shooters Union of Australia have prepared a handy voting app that will tell you which candidates in your electorate will stand up for your rights to own and use firearms. Head to https://howtovoteprogun.com.au/ and follow the prompts or download the app if you'd like to. As mentioned before. We will never presume to tell you how to vote. You may consider other issues more important. However, please have a think about the gradual further restrictions shooters have faced over the years. These restrictions are not likely to halt unless MPs are elected who advocate for evidence based and fair gun laws. If you were planning to vote for a different candidate than whom is suggested, you might consider giving them a 2nd preference instead, although that is up to you. We wish all members and followers a smooth experience in this unprecedented election period. Please vote early or make a postal vote if you anticipate being busy on election day.

06.01.2022 We now have our affiliation with the Single Action Shooting Society

04.01.2022 Dear members and followers, After months of lobbying by the club executive, we are pleased to announce we have secured a funding promise from the Member for Gympie, Tony Perrett (LNP). Please see attached. Mr Perrett has committed to a $35,000 grant to the Gympie Pistol Club to help with our urgently needed range works and upgrades.... Our club committee or executive would never presume to tell you how to vote. However, if shooting sports are an important consideration for your vote, and you live in the Gympie electorate, we ask that you consider his commitment. Keep in mind that Tony Perrett is the ONLY LNP candidate recommended by the Queensland Shooters Union. Mr Perrett stood up for shooters in 2017 when he crossed the floor and voted against his own party regarding reclassification of the Adler A110 lever action shotgun. Mr Perrett stands alone in his party as a supporter of shooting sports and an advocate for evidence-based, sensible and fair gun laws. If you do not want to vote for Mr Perrett, keep in mind you can allocate him a 2nd, 3rd or further along preference if you'd like to do so - your preference flow is up to you, make up your own mind and don't listen to how-to-vote cards. We will be publishing a general guide to assist shooters wanting to cast a vote based on the importance of sports shooting in the coming days. Early voting starts from October 19, you will have some general information about party policies before then.

04.01.2022 Dear Members and followers, As you would be aware, all holders of Category H firearms licenses for the purpose of sports shooting must complete a set number of competition shoots per year in order to keep their license. For the 2020-2021 financial year, the amount of shoots Category H license holders must complete has been reduced by 50%. This is in recognition of the constant impact of COVID-19 on the ability of license holders to get out and shoot safely.... The revised number of competition shoots required on your participation cards are attached as a photo. Should you be unable to meet your requirements for the 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 financial years, please contact us for advice. We have already had members attain successful renewals who had failed to meet their obligations because of COVID-19. All the best. - Kahlel.

01.01.2022 A panorama taken back in August. See all this dirt I'm standing on? All of it has to be shifted back and a new backstop created, among other things, to get us running at full capacity. The photo doesn't do it justice. A mammoth task lies ahead but your committee is on top of things!

01.01.2022 Dear members and followers: see below a message from our hard working President. Hi fellow shooters. Just some news to keep you up to date, the contract for the range re-construction has been signed... and the initial deposit paid. the job was delivered to the builders draughtman today to complete. when that is completed it will go to council for approval, then it is full speed ahead. We don't know how long it will take in council but it will be 3 to 4 weeks construction time where the range will have to be shut. I have been promised that it will be completed by Christmas, as I know more I shall keep you informed. we did have a bit of a holdup as no one had thought about drainage but all done now, So until next time shoot straight and prosper. Cheers Poul See more

01.01.2022 Dear Members and followers; This post is lengthy but VERY IMPORTANT so please do read all of it.

QPS are conducting safe storage checks, to see if you are storing your firearms in compliance with the relevant regulations. We take this opportunity to remind ALL firearms license holders to make sure they are compliant with the law and regulations in Queensland. Som...Continue reading
