Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that suppressors have been incorrectly classified as Category R Weapons. A suppressor is a muzzle device that reduces the sound caused by discharging a firearm from a level that causes hearing damage to a level that will not cause hearing dama...Please be careful of roadworks if heading to the range this weekend. Works still in progress
The work on the road has started. For those that don’t know, we put in for a grant to repair the roads into the ranges. Late last year and we were successful in getting the funding and work is well underway. Awsome work from Heritage City Earthmoving.
We have had a couple cancellations for Sunday's safety course. I know a few people were hopeing to get in this month. If you are interested jump on the website and book in.

So a bit of an update on the bushfire at the range. With the hard work of the RFS we managed to get away with no buildings lost. As you can see from the pic it got very close so we are extremely lucky.
The damage we did sustain is to the fences and the all the danger signs around the boundaries.
So at this stage we have to keep the range closed until we have the signs replaced. We will need helpers next week to come and help put up new fence signs around the boundary so we can reopen for shooing. Let us know if you can help.
Also a big shoutout to Signmax Bundaberg for working over their Christmas break to get these ready for us. The gates would be closed for a lot longer without them.
Just letting everyone know we have a fire very close to the club. Last person we could get in there confirmed there was no damage currently. Rural fire service are working hard to protect our buildings and houses in the area but at this stage we are just waiting to see what happens. We will let everyone know if we get an update.
