Darwin Clay Target Club

An ACTA affiliated club offering S***t, Trap (DTL), Sporting, Tower, ISSF Trap and ISSF S***t. Visitors and new members welcome.

Refer to our web page for the competition program. The Darwin Gun Club (DGC) was formed in 1961 and was located at the old site behind the Darwin showgrounds in Winnellie. In 1975, the club hosted its first annual shoot; an event that has become well known around Australia in clay target circles and still continues today. DGC moved across to its current site on Abala Road, Marrara Sports Complex during 1982/83. The government was indeed generous in its support, providing a large demountable from the old Darwin Hospital as a clubhouse at no cost and also a series of direct grants. Over the years the club has been able to develop its facilities to a level that is unmatched in north Australia or indeed any club in Australia of similar membership. It currently boasts of four down the line layouts, two American s***t layouts, one Olympic s***t layout, one Olympic trap (trench) layout, one Olympic double trap layout, a tower and finally a 5-stand sporting clays layout all set within landscaped grounds within a short driving distance of the majority of Darwin residents and near the international airport.

It was a ghastly night for some of our shooters who participated in our night shoot on none other than Halloween! Not planned purely coincidental and there was no need to dress up as some of us were scary enough.

But congratulations to all participants and winners. It was a good night, good dinner and a lot of fun.

Shout out to Samanther Michael who shot her first 25 ever on our layouts. Congratulations.

Next competition is the 15/11 0830 am 50DB, 50PS and 50 SKT DBLS.

See you there.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

The next shoot on the program is advertised as a night shoot on the Sunday 1/11. This is incorrect, it is Saturday 31/10. When I did the program I passed it onto the quality control department who have failed me.

Not to worry they are mostly human. So Saturday, the 31/10 starting from 5 pm will be 25 DB followed by dinner. Then the 50 Target State Night Point Score Championship. Then the State night 20 Pair Deauville Doubles. You pick your partners not drawn. Note: The shoot off for the DB will continue over the Point score event.

Stay tuned for an event creation because I have no idea how to do it. Back in the day I would have fully supported the Luddite movement. Chances are if you know what I am talking about your as old as s**t.... and if you don't, your too young and should google it and you will learn some s**t.......

Either way its all s**t......

Next instalment of the cash for cans.

We were nearly there.
Most lids were off. Great job everyone.

But they didn't appreciate the ammo boxes in the cans.

All proceeds from the ♻️ got straight back to the Lions.
