About Hume Pistol Club
Hume Pistol Club shoots IPSC, ISSF pistol and Steel Challenge on Urana Road, Albury, about 10 minutes from the Albury CBD. The club dates from 1966 and its members have built the ground up over 50 years from a small four-range facility to an eight-range complex: seven outdoor ranges and an indoor air pistol range.
The ISSF program covers 10m Air Pistol, 25m Pistol, Rapid Fire, Centre Fire, Standard and 50m Pistol. The club has hosted state and national events, and members have represented Australia internationally. The ranges are also used by NSW Police and security organisations.
Range use
Members can use the ranges seven days a week, but no one shoots alone. Centrefire rifles are not permitted, and photos or video need approval from an executive committee member.
Joining
Come and Try sessions run on the first Saturday of every second month; no licence is needed, equipment is provided and bookings are essential. The club also runs the P650 Introductory Firearms Safety Course using a club .22 pistol, with an optional large-calibre add-on. Hume is approved for both NSW and Victorian residents to obtain their pistol licence. Details and bookings are on the club's website.
