About Brisbane Sporting Clays
Brisbane Sporting Clays shoots sporting clays at Mount Petrie Road, Belmont, inside the Belmont Shooting Complex. It is a not-for-profit association run by its members and has been at this facility since 1984. The ground is about 20 minutes from the Brisbane CBD, 15 minutes from the airports and 50 minutes from the Gold Coast.
Targets are thrown across natural terrain as singles and report or simultaneous doubles, from 120mm standard clays down to 60mm minis, plus rabbit and battue targets. The traps are fully automatic, so no trappers are needed.
Shoot days
The club competition is held on the second Sunday of each month. Fridays and Saturdays, 9:00am to 5:00pm, are set aside for practice, beginners and come-and-try bookings. Hours can change, and closures are posted on the club's Facebook page.
Trying it
Newcomers can book a two-hour coached come-and-try session with gun hire. The club also takes corporate, group and bucks or hens bookings.
