Awaba Clay Shooting, Compared

Choosing the Right Clay Pigeon Shooting Supplier

Out in the bushland at 468 Wilton Road, the Newcastle Lake Macquarie Clay Target Club runs a competition-standard range that also welcomes people who have never held a shotgun. The club began as the Shortland Gun Club in 1947, and its Awaba grounds have hosted state and national competitions.

For a group, the shoot is the main event and the clubhouse rounds it off:

  • Corporate shooting events: four to 50 guests, for team-building days, client outings and recognition events
  • Try-out bookings: one to three people alongside an experienced club shooter, no licence needed
  • Layouts on the grounds: down-the-line, skeet, Olympic trench, universal trench, five-stand and a field course
  • Once the shooting stops: a clubhouse canteen and bar
  • Pricing guide: From $50 per person

Bookings go through the club by email or its contact form and depend on range availability, so it pays to send a couple of possible dates when you first get in touch.
