About Peel Clay Target Club
Peel Clay Target Club, incorporated as Peel & Districts Gun Club (Inc), was established in 1983 and shoots clay targets at 579 Old Bunbury Road, West Coolup. The ground has three trap layouts and one skeet layout and sits about an hour south of Perth. The club is affiliated with the Australian Clay Target Association and the Western Australian Clay Target Association, and membership includes both.
The ground is about 11 km south of Pinjarra: turn right onto Old Bunbury Road and follow it for about 6 km. The club is on the left, just past the yellow hall. It can also be reached from Forrest Highway via Paull Road.
Disciplines
Down the Line events (double barrel, single barrel, points score, Continental and Medley) on the trap layouts, plus skeet.
Shoot days
One Sunday competition a month, on varying dates. Register by 9:30am; shooting starts at 10am sharp, with practice targets available earlier that morning. The club runs the three-day Silver Dolphin Carnival each November and a Christmas shoot in December. Practice is on Wednesdays from 2pm to 4pm, weather permitting.
Visitors bring their own shotgun, ammunition and WA firearms licence, as WA law rules out loan guns. New members must be nominated and seconded by existing members. There is camping with showers and toilets for weekend shoots, and the clubroom kitchen serves lunch on competition days. Use the enquiry button on this page or the club's website for details.
