Welcome!
Bowral Pistol Club was established in 1971. We were originally located at Mandemar and moved to our current location in the Belanglo State Forest in the late 1980's. Our current facilities have slowly been upgraded and we now have a comfortable clubhouse with kitchen and bathroom facilities. We have a Single Action Range, a 100m Metallic Silhouette Range and four 25m ranges. Bowral Pistol Club also has an Air Range in Mittagong. Information on how to visit our Club is located here.
We have approximately 100 members. Past and present members have represented Australia internationally and won individual and team events at competitions such as the IMSSU World Championship, the European Championship, Oceania and the Bianchi Cup.
Pistol shooting is an enjoyable family sport available to people from 12 years and up. We offer discounts to families, spouses and pensioners. Information on how to join is located here.
Our sport is strictly regulated and very safety conscious. Pistol shooting in NSW is administered by the NSW Amateur Pistol Association (NSWAPA) and shooters and their firearms are licensed by the NSW Firearms Registry.
Anyone over the age of 12 may now try air and live pistol shooting - even without a licence!!
