About Westernport Field and Game

Shoot days
Competition is on the third Sunday of every month, with nominations from 9:30am. The two-day Stan McFee championship is held each January, named after the founding member behind the club's juniors-shoot-free policy.
The club was founded in 1971 at a meeting in San Remo attended by about 100 people. It owns about 7 acres at Rhyll, bought in 1973 and 1985. The original clubrooms burned down in 1998 and were rebuilt in 1999; they have a winter fire, and the licensed canteen serves hot and cold food on shoot days. Facilities have since been upgraded with a Shooting Sports Facility Program grant. The branch has about 260 members and has replaced waterbird nesting boxes in the lake at the local cemetery.
