The Gold Coast Clay Target Club Inc., a Benchrest Shooting club located in Gold Coast City, is thrilled to announce an upcoming local Benchrest Shooting event that is sure to ignite the passion of all shooting enthusiasts. With a friendly atmosphere and a legacy that spans across three generations of shooting families, this club is the ultimate destination for anyone looking to enjoy clay target shooting.
At Gold Coast Clay Target Club Inc., they cater to individuals of all ages and skill levels. Junior members, who have completed the Firearms Safety Course and are at least 11 years old, can partake in supervised clay target shooting under the guidance of experienced professionals. It's a fantastic opportunity for youngsters to nurture their interest in the sport while being in a safe and supportive environment.
As for the disciplines offered at the club, there is a wide array to choose from. Sporting Clays provides a thrilling experience that replicates field shooting, with clay targets being thrown in singles or pairs from different angles and trajectories. For those who prefer a more traditional approach, there's Trap or DTL shooting. Here, clay targets are shot from 15 meters away from a traphouse, with competitions involving single or double barrel shots and targets progressively thrown from one station to another.
If you're looking for an Olympic-level challenge, then Olympic Trap or Olympic Trench is your go-to discipline. Shooters engage in a gripping battle against 25 targets coming from 15 different traps situated in front of them. For a slightly modified version, Universal Trap offers the same intensity but with fewer traps and reduced angles of targets thrown.
Last but not least, there's Skeet, a discipline that tests your aim and precision as you tackle targets shot from Low and High Trap in singles or doubles. With a wide range of disciplines available, Gold Coast Clay Target Club Inc. ensures that every shooter can find their true calling within the sport.
Mark your calendars, as Gold Coast Clay Target Club Inc. hosts regular competitions throughout each month. Sporting competitions are typically held on the first Sunday, while Trap competitions take place on the second Sunday. For those interested in Olympic Trap, mark your calendars for the third Sunday, and for Universal Trap enthusiasts, the fourth Saturday of the month is your time to shine.
