Range procedure
All shooting is governed by clear range commands and supervision. A club contact can explain how a visit is arranged and what safe participation involves.
Your first visit
What to expect at the range.
Club shooting is conducted at Cessnock Rifle Range. The first step is an enquiry so that a club representative can explain the current arrangements, safety expectations, and suitable session for a visitor.
Times and distances vary across the current range program. Range days and visitor arrangements can change, so please review the calendar and contact the club before attending.
