Welcome to Katoomba Rifle Club!

The Katoomba Rifle Club is one of the oldest continuous sporting clubs in The Blue Mountains and offers several shooting disciplines to cater for a range of shooting activities.

Fullbore: This involves using a single shot target rifle in either .308 or .223 calibre with aperture sights. The ranges shot at Katoomba Range are between 200 yards and 600 metres and fullbore shooting involves using a coat and a sling and shooting in the prone position.

Free Class: There are 2 categories in F Class. Open Rifle where any calibre up to 8mm is permitted, and Standard Rifle where the calibres used are either .308 or .223. F Class involves using a front rest, a rear sandbag and telescopic sights. Like Fullbore, it is shot from the prone position from distances ranging from 200 yards to 600 metres at the Katoomba Range.

Shotgun: The Katoomba Range has one clay pigeon trap, where clay pigeons are shot using a double barrel shotgun. At the Katoomba Range it is mandatory to use steel shot, and firearms practice is currently only being run by the Blue Mountains Field Sports Association.
