About Quilpie Sporting Clays Club Inc
Quilpie Sporting Clays Club shoots sporting clays on Anzac Drive, Quilpie, near the corner of the Diamantina Development Road and the Quilpie–Thargomindah Road. Local residents set the club up with council support, and it was due to open in late 2020. A local resources company funded two of its target throwers.
Shoot days
The club's main fixture is the annual Sporting Carnival in August. The format is 100 targets per day over two days, with a night-time novelty shoot on the Saturday that anyone can have a go at. The bar and canteen run all weekend, and there are toilets and parking for cars and coaches.
The 2026 carnival drew 47 shooters, some from as far away as the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast and Glen Innes.
Regular shoot days outside the carnival are not published. For dates, use the enquiry button on this page or check the club's Facebook page.
