Geelong Pistol Club was established in 1960 and shoots at 70-80 Williams Road, Mount Duneed, south of Geelong. It runs regular competitions, training matches, coaching and safety courses for members and non-members. The member range is open 9am–6pm, seven days a week; members of the public need an appointment to visit.
Prospective members start at a meet-and-greet information session, held most Saturdays at 1pm, then complete a Notice of Receiving Instruction course before committee approval. New members then apply for a provisional handgun licence, which can take up to four months. Annual fees are $620 full, $545 spouse, $497 associate and $207 junior, plus VAPA fees.
