We at Tin Can Bay, are all dedicated to promoting
our sport, and have qualified Safety/Range Officers available
on regular
shoot days. Some Branch rimfire, air, and shotgun firearms are available
for new enthusiasts
to try, however, access to our range is by
appointment only apart from scheduled calendar events when Range
Officers are on site. No person is allowed on our property
without prior permission, and nobody is allowed to
use firearms on our
range without a qualified Range Officer in attendance. We request that
you phone if you wish
to attend any of the events listed, or have any
questions regarding use of firearms on our range.
We also hold regular Safety Courses for those who
wish to attain a firearms licence and enquiries should be
directed to
Ted on 5486 4135 or Gordon on 5486 5208 to make appointments to attend.
Enclosed footwear is mandatory, and all those
planning to attend regular events will need to be at the
range at
least 30 minutes prior to starting time in order to complete
necessary paperwork and to sight in
firearms. Eye and ear protection is
also mandatory for all centrefire events.
