About Majura Park Gun Club
Majura Park Gun Club runs clay target shooting from its range on Hector McIntosh Grove in Majura, inside the SSAA ACT complex. For a private group the club is opened up for the event, and in most cases the group has the grounds to itself. Nobody needs a firearms licence or any shooting experience, because instructors coach each person from the very first shot. A group package lasts roughly two hours, start to finish, including the final round. Qualified firearms safety instructors open with a safety briefing, help every participant with stance and technique, then run individual or team competitions across single targets, doubles and pairs. The club supplies the shotguns, ammunition, clays, vests and ear protection. Bucks and hens parties, work teams and private groups all book this format, and fancy dress is welcome for a bucks or hens outing. Food and drink are BYO, alcohol is allowed only after everyone has finished shooting, and BBQ facilities are there for lunch before the next stop. Shooters must be 12 or older, and the covered Olympic Trap layout lets sessions carry on in wet weather.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need a firearms licence or any experience?
No. Neither a licence nor any previous shooting experience is needed. Instructors take every participant through safety and technique, whatever their skill level.
How many people do we need for a private group booking?
Private group packages have a minimum of 10 people, and groups with fewer than 10 pay the minimum and shoot extra targets instead. If a few people drop out, the club can refund those spots or let the group use the spare targets and cartridges on the day.
What should we wear on the day?
Flat closed-toe shoes are required, and sandals, thongs, high heels, singlets and camouflage gear are not allowed. Bring photo ID, plus a hat and sunglasses in warm weather, and skip bulky jackets with big collars in winter. Fancy dress is fine for a bucks or hens party.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
Yes, food and drink are BYO for private groups. Alcohol can only be consumed once everyone has finished shooting, and anyone who appears affected by alcohol or drugs cannot take part. BBQ facilities are available if you want lunch on site.
Is there a minimum age to take part?
Participants must be at least 12, and anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian with them. Instructors assess younger or smaller shooters, and the club keeps smaller shotguns to suit them.
