Gosford District Rifle Club is a long-range target shooting club. The club shoots at the Kariong Regional Shooting Complex, which is located off Woy Woy Road, Kariong.

The club shoots over ranges which start at 300 metres and extend to 600 metres. Many of our members also regularly shoot at Hornsby and Malabar ranges which both extend to 800 metres. To achieve accuracy at these ranges, our members use purpose-built precision target rifles. The main calibres used are .308 and .223. ‘Off the shelf’ sporting rifles are not suitable for our particular discipline.

Our club conducts a shoot on most Saturdays commencing at 1pm. Prospective members may attend to observe the club shoot, but must first obtain approval by contacting the club.

NSDRA CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS MATCH

Two of our Club Champions competed in the North Shore District C of C Match at Hornsby Range on 4 June 2022.
The competition was shot over four ranges, 300m, 500m, 700m & 800m in very windy conditions.
Adrian Hall emerged the winner in F Standard, making him the District Champion this year. He will now go on to compete in the State Championship.
Grant Roberts finished in second place in Target Rifle, only three points behind the winner, Dmitri Kazakov of Roseville RC.
As there were no other competitors in F Standard Junior, our Club Champion, Sandiswa Nzimande, automatically qualifies to shoot in the State Championship.
