Established in 1954, the club was created to promote smallbore shooting in the North Rocks area. Over the years, many of its members have represented Australia and New South Wales in prestigious competitions such as the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, and World Cup.
The club's original range was situated off Hepburn Road in North Rocks but was later resumed with the construction of the M2 Motorway. In 1991, the club moved to the Hyland Park range in Greystanes. Thanks to the efforts of Holroyd Council, Transgrid, and others, a new and improved rifle range was built in the same vicinity in 2011.
