Hornsby R.S.L. Rifle Club is a Target rifle shooting Club, using single shot, bolt action, centre fire 7.62mm (.308") or 5.56mm (.223")  target rifles, from the prone position, over distances of 50 metres to 800 metres.

Long range Full Bore, F Class Open, F Class Standard, Hunting, Small bore .22 and SMLE .303 are the major shooting disciplines in this club.  Coaching is available for prospective members. The purpose of this website is to provide information, such as range distances and dates for competitions / social events.

Our home range is the Hornsby Rifle Range - Rosamond St, Hornsby, Sydney, Australia. All members are financial members of Hornsby R.S.L. Club Inc, and over age 12. ( A "minors permit" allows those over age 12 and under age 18 to shoot under supervision).

Shooting is from 1.00pm to 4.30pm, Saturday afternoons.

Prospective new members are always welcome.

We provide the following services to the members of this rifle club:

• Courses on how to handle firearms safely;

• Accredited administration of Firearms Safety Training Tests;

• Coaching in the sport of target shooting;

• Advice on storing a firearm;

• Advice on purchasing target shooting equipment.

A comfortable club house lets members retire at the end of a good days shooting.  Even if you have never tried target shooting, you can come along and give it a go under supervision.

Minors must be accompanied by a supervising adult. We have been in operation for 40 years and have about 35 members.  This sport suits a wide range of people. While physical fitness is an advantage, the sport does not rely on physical strength. All sexes and all ages compete on an equal basis.

A grading system divides competitors into A, B and C grades using scores from last year. The 100 metre range is opened on selected Saturdays for Small bore rifle practice. This means that membership of this target rifle club can be used as a reason for both Class A and B, when applying for a Firearms Licence.

As an accredited hunting club, membership also provides a genuine reason for adding a Hunting category to your NSW shooting licence. We do not cater for automatic weapons, pistol or shotguns. These require membership of other shooting clubs.

The main aims of HRSL R/C:

• to provide a support network for Club members as they enjoy an afternoons sport and recreation.

• to provide a competitive environment to extend the serious shooter's ability.

• to facilitate long range target shooting.

• to support traditional R.S.L. values as a Sporting Body Sub-Club of Hornsby R.S.L. Club Inc.

• to take all steps possible to ensure that practice in this sport is conducted in a secure and safe manner.
