Was a great day of Try Shooting. Only thing is the targets had no labels. Just a black hole with 2 side bars and the sight on the gun is a little hard to aim if you haven't shot before. Other than that, would highly recommend.

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Lack of Professionalism and Respect I booked a trial shooting experience for my father (70+) and myself after confirming with a staff member over the phone that it would be fine for him to participate, even though English is not his first language. She assured me that I could translate for him if needed, and only after that confirmation did I proceed with the booking. The induction was handled well, and the initial staff were friendly and accommodating. However, once we reached the shooting range, the experience took a sharp turn for the worse. While I was shooting, my father came close to take a photo—something I saw another participant’s family member do without issue. Yet, my father was rudely told to go back to the benches. The inconsistency in treatment was glaring and felt discriminatory. When it was my father's turn, I explained again that I would translate for him. The range officer responded with visible frustration, making exaggerated faces and comments like “this is so tough.” Another staff member joined in later and the ranger was loudly complaining about how difficult it was, even though he hadn’t made any real effort to communicate or accommodate. It was unprofessional, intimidating, and frankly, disrespectful—especially toward an elderly man who was fully cooperative and polite throughout. To make matters worse, we paid for 50 shots, but my father was only allowed to shoot 47. The ranger was joking with other range officers about wanting to resign because it was “so tough,” which felt incredibly inappropriate given the situation. When I mentioned I had confirmed everything with Cynthia over the phone before booking, he dismissed it and sarcastically said his name was “Mick,” if I want to give a google review which another staff member later corrected to “Bruce.” On top of all this, the pistol jammed at least 15 times, and one even had to be replaced mid-session. This was meant to be a special Father’s Day outing, and I deeply regret choosing this place. If the centre cannot accommodate non-native English speakers or older participants, they should be upfront about it. But if they do accept bookings, they must treat all customers with professionalism and respect. I urge management to retrain staff on respectful communication and inclusivity, and ensure that all customers—regardless of age or language background—are treated with dignity. Experiences like this not only ruin special occasions but reflect poorly on the entire organisation.
This is the best shooting range in Sydney IMHO as it was built for the 2000 Olympics. The targets that you shoot at are computer controlled, and so that you have a highly accurate digital record for every bullet you shoot which is so good for comparison purposes to make sure you're getting better. Finally, you also wouldn't find nicer or more helpful and patient staff anywhere else either. Many are former Olympians that have a wealth of knowledge to help you get better at the sport. Highly recommended.
I did the Try Shooting class today with a pistol and it was the best experience. Highly recommend. All the staff were lovely.
All shooters, including club members, must report to the Venue Management Office/Pro-Shop, sign in, pay fees, and present a current Firearms Licence and club or state affiliation card. Try Shooting participants need to complete a NSW Police P650 declaration and provide original photo ID, like a passport.
Only individuals aged 12 years or older can participate in the Try Shooting Program. Minors aged 12-17 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who must also sign the P650 declaration and provide their own photo ID, the minor's birth certificate or passport, and Medicare card.
All participants must follow staff instructions. Hearing protection is mandatory on the firing line, and eye protection is required for handgun shooting. Covered, secure footwear is a must, and low-cut apparel is prohibited. Additionally, anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be allowed on the range.
As of February 1, 2026, we are transitioning to a cashless payment system for all services and fees.
If you fail to meet the legal requirements before your Try Shooting session begins, you will not be allowed to participate. In such cases, your full fee will be forfeited, and no refunds or transfers will be provided.
