Next month, we’ll be meeting at the range for the Christmas celebration, a party with novelty events for .22 rifles (only). It will be held on 15 December.
The range is at the Hastings Shooting Complex at the end of Lady Nelson Drive, at the rear of the Port Macquarie Racecourse. Any query that you may have regarding licences, range passes and club membership will be cheerfully answered.
Practice is available each Friday morning and on the morning of the third Sunday of the month (see program for benchrest practice dates.) Each attendance, whether practice or competition, counts towards licence requirements.
