South Burnett Pistol Club (SBPC) was established in 1962 to promote and regulate the competitive sport of target pistol shooting in the South Burnett region of Queensland. Based in Kingaroy and affiliated with Pistol Shooting Queensland (PSQ), the club has grown into a well-regarded regional shooting club with a strong focus on safety, community and competition. Shooters from as young as 11 years of age are welcome.
SBPC operates four ranges within minutes of the Kingaroy CBD: Range 1 (25m, 15 bay), Range 2 (25m, 10 bay), Range 3 (50m, 25 bay including IPSC), and Range 4 (10m, 11 bay indoor air-pistol range). The indoor air pistol range is a standout feature, providing a climate-controlled facility for precision events regardless of weather.
The club offers ISSF precision events, Service Pistol, Black Powder, WA 1500, IPSC and Air Pistol disciplines. Weekly club shoots are held for members, with access to state, national and international competitions through PSQ affiliation.
