South Australian Gun Club

In the late 1800s, clay target shooting has become a popular and competitive sport in the country. The South Australian Gun Club, located in Adelaide, is one of the prominent sports clubs dedicated to promoting and facilitating clay target shooting in South Australia.

The South Australian Gun Club is affiliated with the South Australian Clay Target Association (SACTA), which is divided into three zones within South Australia – the Eastern, Central, and Western zones. Each zone has several clubs, and annual elections are held to appoint committees and members to the State Executive of SACTA.

The club organises a range of events and shoots throughout the year, which are listed on their SACTA Shoot Calendar. Shoots are held at various club locations and offer members and shooting enthusiasts the opportunity to showcase their skills and compete in a supportive and welcoming environment. The club also provides a downloadable spreadsheet list of all upcoming events for easy reference.

In addition to organising shoots, the South Australian Gun Club actively promotes the values of fair play and adherence to rules through its involvement with Play by the Rules. This organisation provides information, resources, and free online training to administrators, coaches, officials, players, parents, and spectators, ensuring that all participants have a clear understanding of the rules and guidelines of the sport.

The South Australian Gun Club is grateful for the support of its sponsors, including EARWORKX, a provider of hearing protection products; GOOLWA PIPICO, a sustainable and Australian-owned catch harvesting company; and PERAZZI AUSTRALIA, a renowned manufacturer of precision shotguns.
