About Toowoomba Clay Target Club
The Toowoomba Clay Target Club has been part of local sport for well over a century, and it runs its range at Charlton on the western side of the city. Volunteers handle almost everything, which keeps membership costs down and pays for ongoing work on the grounds. Members shoot trap, skeet, tower and sporting events across six trap layouts, four skeet layouts and two towers. The club's corporate days are designed for businesses and private groups. After signing in, showing ID and completing the required forms, everyone gets a short safety talk and some basic instruction on handling a shotgun. Squads then take to the range with experienced members guiding them, each person shoots 25 targets, and a shoot-off decides the winner when scores are level. A group of 10 usually needs 1.5 to 2 hours, while 20 to 25 shooters should allow 2.5 to 3 hours. While the shoot is running the bar sells soft drinks, snacks and sweets, and beer, wine, cider and spirits are poured only once everyone has finished shooting. The kitchen and barbecue can be used to self-cater, so a team can stay on and share a meal afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a corporate clay shooting day cost?
The package is $925 including GST and covers the first 10 shooters, which is also the minimum charge. Each extra shooter adds $90, and the price covers targets, shells, gun hire, ear protection and coaching.
Do we need a firearms licence to take part?
No licence is needed. Unlicensed shooters fill out a Form 33A and bring current photo ID, and digital ID is not accepted. Licensed shooters bring their current firearms licence with photo ID instead.
What should we wear and bring on the day?
Enclosed shoes are compulsory and a hat is a good idea. Ear protection is supplied, but every shooter needs to bring their own sunglasses or prescription glasses to wear on the range.
How big can our group be, and how long does it take?
Groups are normally capped at 35 shooters, and bigger groups can be arranged with advance notice. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for 10 people and 2.5 to 3 hours for a group of 20 to 25.
Which days can we book, and what happens if it rains?
Corporate days run on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with no Sunday bookings. If wet weather stops the shoot, the group can move to another date or receive a full refund of anything already paid.
