Metropolitan Clay Target Club (MCTC) is an ACTA club shooting Olympic trench (trap, double trap and universal trap), Down the Line and 5 Stand. The club has relocated and now shoots at the Werribee Victoria Clay Target Club ground on Ballan Road, Quandong, west of Melbourne.
The club formed in the late 1930s at Sharps Road, North Coburg, when it was known as Coburg Gun Club. Members have gone on to represent Australia, including two women in the Australian Olympic Development Team and a junior in the Australian ISSF Double Trap Development Squad.
Club shoots are held on the 3rd Sunday of each month, plus the 5th Sunday when there is one, from 10am to 5pm.
Memberships are ACTA memberships (full, veteran, junior, partner and loyalty), and there is also a non-competitive recreational membership. Use the enquiry button on this page or see the club's website for details.
