Club in Claremont

To promote excellence in the international sport of packed bore target shooting, whilst encouraging the inclusive participation of competitors regardless of age, gender, experience or skill, and educating all people in the sound handling and responsible use of firearms. Western Australia has 70 rifle clubs across the State, and provides a safe and controlled environment for the pursuit of the sport of marksmanship for all. Target Rifle (TR) is shot off the elbows with the aid of a sling and aiming is achieved through iron peep sights. (class) is shot with or without (Optical Class) the aid of a front rest or bi pod and rear bag, with aiming achieved through a telescopic sight. Service rifle matches are conducted as they were in the Military forces. Our premature history also displays many incidents of members performing as soldiers on energetic service, as healthy as, assisting in the training of the Volunteer defense Corps and providing precious technical advice in the development of rifles and ammunition. Remote club shooting activities had been conducted within Western Australia in the 1850's generally in the Goldfields' area and around the South Western timber towns where itinerant workers lacked the opportunities of facilities normally provided in capital cities. The simplicity and convenience of target shooting in the unfold allowed for competition with a social outlet, without too much work being needed to develop a venue. Due to the concentration of people in the Goldfields and their tall level of activity a Union of rifle clubs District was formed in that area before clubs joined together on the 'Coastal' plains. Whereas the formation of state associations in the east occurred much previous it was not until 1901 that sufficient pressure by existing clubs, and, public care about the readiness of our defense on the West Coast, that government sanction was finally provided. During the reorganization of the Militia as a consequence of the 1910 Kitchener Report, a new system of raising the forces occurred. In so doing, areas whose population altered and were unable to sustain any Militia activity had functions removed. Other areas had the units bizarre to the special state disbanded or amalgamated with other units. The major reason for the removal of an activity related to population issues.
