About Brisbane Gun Club
Brisbane Gun Club is a clay target club at 292 Mount Petrie Road, Belmont, part of the Belmont Shooting Complex about 20 minutes from the Brisbane CBD and airport. It shoots trap (including Continental, Double Rise, Deauville Doubles and Universal Trench), ISSF Trench (Olympic Trap), and American and ISSF skeet.
The club dates back to the early 1870s, when it began as a live bird shooting club, and moved through grounds at Eagle Farm, Albion Park, Hedley Park and Tingalpa before the Belmont ground opened on 26 June 1966. Belmont hosted the clay target events of the 1982 Commonwealth Games, as well as UIT World Cups, Trap and Skeet Nationals and the World Masters Games.
The ground has six trap layouts, three ISSF Trench layouts and four skeet layouts set up for American or ISSF skeet. LED lighting allows night trap. The clubhouse has a bar, kitchen, BBQ and a balcony overlooking the range, and the on-site shop sells targets and ammunition.
Shoot days
The range is open Thursday 10am–5pm, Friday 12 noon–8:30pm and Saturday 9am–5pm. Friday night trap under lights is for members and licensed shooters.
