Pine Valley Pistol Club is a practical shooting club running IPSC, ICORE and Steel Challenge (including a Rimfire division) on 17 dedicated ranges at the Whiteman Park International Shooting Complex in Perth's northern suburbs. Practical shotgun and rifle competitions also feature. It is one of WA's largest practical pistol clubs.
The club began in early 1977, was incorporated in 1978 and hosted the 3rd IPSCA National Handgun Championships over Easter 1979. Its original range was on Sydney Road, Gnangara; it moved to Whiteman Park in September 1996. Facilities include lights on some ranges for night competitions, undercover shade areas, a commercial kitchen, toilets with showers and plenty of parking.
Club competitions run weekly, with a night shoot under lights on a weekday evening and a Masters Match. Dates are on the club's match calendar. Members of other recognised associations who want to compete must register interest first and show proficiency credentials to the Captain of the Day.
There are no walk-ins: prospective members attend by invitation to a designated Open Day. New members then complete a 12 to 14 week training course through to holster proficiency, with around 15 places per group. Expressions of interest are taken through the club's website. The club sits at the very end of Jules Steiner Memorial Drive, reached only off Hennessy Road.
