Over the years the Gosford Rifle Club has allowed other shooting clubs to share the range with the result that there now exists a Kariong Shooting Complex consisting of six different clubs and facilities. Something for almost everyone!
The shooting complex covers an area of approximately 160 hectares, including its safety zone and is open for use to many organizations such as the bushfire services, police, security services, scouts, army personnel and school cadets. It is an egalitarian, multifunction facility. Prospective members, interested in target shooting as a sport are always welcome.

The day started well, with 63 entries. In this number there was 1 from West Australia and 2 from Queensland
 
The periods of heavy rain caused 2 brief stoppages mid-day, but we had an excellent day otherwise.
 
The fine off white sand that splashed onto all exposed gear was a bit of a pain, but when it dried it was fairly easy to dust off. Unfortunately that is the nature of this particular spot on the range and it is something not easily cured. A couple of smart clubs came prepared with their own awnings (obviously been here before). Who knows, we may see a tent city next year.
