24.01.2022 Event Spotlight: Benchrest Class 1 Benchrest is shot, you guessed it, on a Bench, over a rest! This event is competed at the 50m and 20m distances (depending on what is available at your local range). Benchrest has 3 classes. Class 1 is restricted to standard 'bunny guns' or lightweight sporter Rifles in the .22LR calibre. Rifles such as the CZ 452 are popular in this benchrest competition. The rifles cannot weigh more than 3.5kg and telescopic sights cannot exceed 12 pow...er magnification. At 50m the standard ISSF 50m Rifle target is used - this has a 10 ring that measures just 10.4mm across. In a 60 shot match, Competitors in this event are likely to only get 10 or so 9's. Competitors spend lots of time practising to read the wind, and getting their setup just right - they want everything to be exactly the same, for every shot! This match is shot by members of all ages, and allows members to stay in the sport when age or injury no longer allows them to shoot prone or air rifle. It is also a good starting point for new members, as it does not require a lot of expensive equipment. See more

14.01.2022 Our TRSA State Championship kicked off yesterday with the 3 Position match and today we saw the Air Rifle (Open and Junior), the 20m Prone is currently underway and the Air Rifle Points game commences in just over an hour. The Air Rifle finals were both exceptionally close, and the Junior Final was decided by shoot off! Congratulations to all our medal winners, and good luck to those still yet to compete

13.01.2022 Mother Nature has pulled out all the stops in preparation for our State Championship this weekend While the weather for our 3P athletes tomorrow looks a bit exciting (hail, thunderstorms, strong winds are all on the cards), our Prone shooters on Sunday look to have some excellent conditions! Big thanks to Craig for mowing our lawns while our Lawn mower is out of action, the Range looks great! Look forward to seeing you all at the Range this weekend!

12.01.2022 Where has this year gone! It is almost Christmas already, and this Saturday is the last day for the Equipment Shop for the year. We re-open on Tuesday 12th January. We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and New Year and we look forward to seeing you out on the Range in 2021

12.01.2022 In line with the Premiers announcement, the Wingfield Range will be closed to all shooting activities from tomorrow. This also affects all TRSA Clubs and the Wingfield Junior Club. The Equipment Shop will remain open, but please do not attend if you are unwell.

06.01.2022 Event Spotlight: Benchrest Class 3 Next up in our event spotlight is the Benchrest Class 3 competition. This match is quite similar to Benchrest Class 1 that we highlighted a few weeks back. This competition is also shot using rifles over a rest. It is typically competed at 50m and 20m. The difference being that Rifles can weigh up to 8kg and there are no restrictions on the style of the rifle or the magnification of the scope. This match can be quite competitive, and shooters need to be able to read the wind well. Often the winners are determined by how many 'Inner 10s' (10.2 or better) they shot! You'll often find Class 3 shooters in our testing tunnel, testing out different types of ammunition to find out which one works best in their rifle - every little bit helps in this match!

06.01.2022 Don't forget - entries close THIS Saturday 19th September for our State Championships (25-27 Sep). Enter online here - https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=644065&

04.01.2022 Exciting things happening at the Range today! Keep an eye out for our Come and Try days that will be happening over the next few months

03.01.2022 Today our Rifle athletes competed in an international competition online. Our Aussie athletes were joined by athletes from Singapore Shooting, Iran, BSSF - Bangladesh Shooting Sport Federation, Thailand, Vietnam Shooting Federation and Egyptian Shooting Federation. The competition was competed live, with all participants starting at the same time - around 4:45pm for us Aussie's. A great experience for our junior athletes and an excellent way for our High Performance guys to stay on top of their game

03.01.2022 Event Spotlight: 50m Prone The 50m Prone event is a 60 shot competition in the Prone position (lying down). Competitors use .22LR target rifles. These have a longer and heavier barrel than you might have seen on hunting type rifles and sometimes have aluminium stocks with lots of different adjustments. This means the athlete can get the rifle to fit them perfectly. These rifles use peep sights (no magnification!) and there is a sling to help support the weight of the rifle.... The best athletes in the world are getting 600/600 in this competition! This event is very popular with clubs because there is not a lot of equipment needed. Depending on the club, this event may also be shot at 20m or 90m. What's your favourite range to shoot Prone at?

01.01.2022 Good news! Our Equipment Shop will be open normal hours from tomorrow. The Range and all clubs remain CLOSED to all shooting activities until further notice

01.01.2022 QR Check In is available at our Range. Don't forget to scan the code when you get to the Range (there are a number of them around the Range). Paper sign in is available for those without the app or a smart phone
