LHS Clay Target Shooting Club Invitation
Every Wednesday afternoon the LHS Clay Target Shooting Club trains at the Melbourne Gun Club in Yering, 3.15 pm to 5.30 pm. The cost is $20 for 25 targets. Loan guns are available, unless students have their own. It is safe and regulated, and a great way for students to develop their target shooting skills, and meet new friends.
The first time students attend, we suggest they try 5 shots - which we will provide, unless students are experienced. Students are covered by the Gun Club's insurance but after 3 visits, a membership fee of $45 is required.
Students do not need to be licenced but we can assist with that process if they wish to progress their skills.
If students attend the club for a few months, they will be provided with a uniform and training is offered.
Please email David Blaxland if your son/daughter would be interested in attending a training session:
