PREAMBLE

In 2012, South West Slopes Shooters, an autonomous subcommittee of Shooters Union NSW Inc., undertook to develop a sports shooting range on the south west slopes of NSW. This >1641 day (thus far) initiative is aimed to assist NSW sporting shooters to participate in the construction of a range to suit all disciplines and be available to ALL shooters regardless of club affiliation. The time is now.

​

The proposed project is for a shooting complex comprising of but not limited to:

• a long arm range of  600 metre, with metallic targets, & proposed ‘primitive’ camping area for 2 day events. Muzzle velocity and muzzle energy limits will apply as per FAR regulations

• magazine loading permissible if you desire to do so.

• a pistol range of 44 Magnum template including IPSC and ICORE events & proposed ‘primitive’ camping area for weekend (2 day) events (38+ cal  if proposed events are approved)

• Cowboy/Single action events and weekend matches.

• a clay target range

• metallic silhouette for rifle and pistol

• archery events and training

• allowance for ‘primitive’ camping and caravan area for multi day events, or just city getaways (for members only, not the public)

• BBQ and socialising areas

• availability to Army school cadets and Scout and other groups for orienteering and bivouac

• availability to Trials Bike state events

• possible running of livestock to assist with ongoing costs, council etc.
