Welcome to North Arm Rifle Club

North Arm Rifle Club provides experienced shooters and those interested to Come and Try our sport with a well equipped, friendly, safe and picturesque venue for precision long range target rifle shooting. We are located at The Davison Range Target Sports Complex, between Yandina and Eumundi, and centrally located on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

The sport of Fullbore covers several different disciplines including:

  • F-Class using a rest and telescopic sights
  • Target Rifle using a sling and open sights
  • Sporter / Hunter class.

At Davison Range Fullbore is shot between 300 metres to 700 yards. To be a successful shooter competitively our sport requires training, experience, refinement of technique, skills such as wind reading (which can be especially challenging among the hills of Davison Range), handloading, patience and concentration. Fullbore competitors also score and check score for each other during competition.

North Arm Rifle Club offers shooting each Saturday on a fortnightly cycle of practice and club competition together with annual prize meetings events. Please see our range calendar for a full list of forthcoming events.

Visitors are always welcome to the club and unlicensed shooters wishing to Come and Try need to make an appointment to attend a club practice day where they will receive one on one guidance to safely experience the thrill and challenges of fullbore shooting.

To make an appointment to Come and Try call Des on 0408 063 896.

Lest we forget.

The North Arm Rifle Club was formed in 1914, the same year as World War 1 commenced. The range was built on the Davison’s Dairy property by the Australian Army in 1914, allowing soldiers to train locally and encouraging civilians to improve their shooting skills.

Our club has a proud history of members who served our country.

Today we remember them. … See MoreSee Less
