Glen Innes Clay Target Club shoots Down the Line (DTL) trap events: double barrel, single barrel, points score and double rise. The ground is at the Stonehenge Recreation Grounds, 9003 New England Highway, about 12 km south of Glen Innes.
The club shoot is on the first Saturday of each month, with 10am starts on the calendar. The high gun at each monthly shoot takes a silver spoon, and spoon winners meet in a Golden Spoon shoot-off at the Sapphire Shoot.
The Sapphire Shoot is the club's annual open, held each February, with shooters camping on the grounds over the weekend. It also hosts the Macansh Tin Tray teams event between Guyra, Walcha and Glen Innes. The 2026 shoot drew a record 117 shooters from NSW and Queensland.
The club has run Come and Try days for newcomers and in 2026 held its first veterans' shoot with one-on-one coaching for local RSL sub-branches. To ask about a first visit, use the enquiry button on this page.
