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.

Great news from the QStore.MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT – QStore-official – BRT Shooters Supply
Many of you would have heard that BRT Shooters Supply is closing down so that Stuart and Annie can retire.

QRA is delighted to announce that we have agreed on terms to acquire the remaining stock and will continue to sell the majority of brands in the BRT range. With Stuart and Annie’s help we are well advanced in discussions with the suppliers.

Stuart, Annie and their staff have agreed to assist us to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible. BRT is a well organised and professional operation and QRA intends to learn these established processes and incorporate them into the QStore.

We will continue to provide updates, but for now we would like to wish Stuart and Annie well in their retirement whilst acknowledging the valuable contribution they have made to the shooting industry in Australia.

Club Competition – 400 yards 13 July 2024

We had 24 shooters for club competition today, with three new members participating for the first time, and 2 juniors.

Conditions were difficult gusting in from the west over the shoulder and down the range. The first stage reading conditions was a challenge, but two Sporter Class shooters were able to get possibles, both Mick and Mark, shooting a 50.05.

Sporter had 8 competitors this week, with 3 new members, that got to see the challenges of North Arm first hand. Though Mitch shot well finishing with 101.11, with a nice 54.08 in the second round. Mick continued reading conditions well, finishing with a 54.06 to take out sporter division, and Bevan Cameron taking out second with a nice 55.08 in the second stage finishing on 103.15, leaving third place for Mark finishing with a 103.9.

There were 4 shooters in FO for the day, no-one scoring a possible, Dave B took out the afternoon, after starting with a nice 59.7 and finishing with 122.13, Second place went to Ian B who struggled in the first stage with a 56.03, but finished strong with a 63.05, just beating Denis M who finished in third place with 118.05.

FStd had six shooters for the afternoon, the normal rivalry with Corrie, wasn’t there this week, as Corrie shot in Brisbane for the afternoon. Des had a comfortable win with a nice 66.07 in the second stage to finish on 12.12, second place went to Frank L with 119.10 and third place to Grant with 117.06.

FTR had 5 shooters, and it looks like Mark C might have sorted out his loads, with a nice shoot of 63.03 in the second stage, to finish in first place with 119.03. Second went to Glenn L who struggled with conditions in the first stage but finished with 62.03 in the second stage, and Rob G taking out third place.

TR saw only 2 shooters for the afternoon the Dave’s. Dave H finished the afternoon on 99.07, taking out first place.
