10/10!! I came in today to shoot for the first time ever with my friend Matt! From the lovely lady at the desk to our instructor Glenn everybody was so welcoming and kind! Glenn was very professional and really great at educating you on how to shoot better whilst keeping it engaging and fun! If I didn’t live in Australia I’d be back here every chance I could! (I will be sure to come back as soon as I can!) I loved every minute of it and have found a new interest in shooting thanks to Glenn!

My son & I visit Oakedge often to use the airgun range. It's a very relaxed and friendly place in a beautiful setting (no corporate bs). Sue on reception is always welcoming. We've just tried our hand at a clay session for the 1st time, with Glenn. He's an excellent instructor giving clear & patient advice. We both bagged a good few birds, the boy especially. Now writing this contemplating SGC application...

I got recommend Oakedge Shooting Ground by a friend to host one of our social events.. hosting for 9 of us, very clean, professional and welcoming. The instructors are excellent and very helpful. It was brilliant and can not recommend OSG enough. Will definitely be returning, cheers.
