The Toowoomba Pistol Club offers a Come & Try experience for those interested in trying out the sport of pistol shooting. This is offered subject to demand and the availability of qualified Range Officers and fully licensed volunteers.

PLEASE NOTE: This is focussed on teaching the basics of pistol shooting as a sport and is not a “shooting gallery” type experience.

During the Come & Try you will have the opportunity to experience several styles of target pistol shooting including air pistol, 22 pistol and some larger revolver and semi-auto pistols supplied by the club. Cost may vary due to changing ammunition prices but starts from $80 per person.

Each person participating is individualy supervised at all times by a Range Officer or Club Member standing at their shoulder in line with Queensland firearms laws.

While everyone who does a Come & Try finds the experience fun, please note that it is intended to be a genuine introduction to the Club, pistol shooting as a sport and the process involved in joining the club and getting licensed. It is not a “shooting gallery” type experience and may be quite different from private pistol ranges offering “off the street” shooting experiences.

Paperwork & identification required

Come & Try is open to everyone over the age of 11 provided the necessary paperwork is completed and photographic identification can be provided. All participants must complete a Form 33 prior to shooting. This Form restricts some individuals ability to use a pistol. Visit Weapons Licencing to review the form and ensure you will be able to complete this form prior to participating in a Come & Try.

Bookings essential

To attend a Come & Try you must book your attendance with the Club Secretary well in advance. Limited places are available. Contact enquiries@toowoombapistolclub.org.au or 0438 178 723.
