Castle Hill Rifle Club is one of many sporting groups that are associated with and fully supported by Castle Hill RSL. Rifle shooting is a safe, challenging sport people of any age can enjoy. To be a "good shot" requires a combination of hand-eye coordination, breathing control and concentration. Despite it being thought of as a male sport, women often outshoot the men because of better "fine motor skills". The Rifle Club is accessable to anyone who lives in the western and northwestern areas of Sydney, this does not exclude others who may wish to enjoy the sport of rifle shooting. It is sometimes surprising how far people will travel to enjoy a sport. The Range is located in Hylands Rd Greystanes, Hylands Rd runs off Gipps Rd/Greystanes Rd which runs off the Great Western Highway. See 'Visit this Website' link above. The shooting calendar is on this website. The club meets each second and fourth Sunday of each month (and fifth Sunday when it occurs), commencing at 9am and by prior arrangement on the first and third Monday evenings of the month commencing at 7.30 pm . The shooting calendar runs from February to November for grading, but shooting ceases in mid December. Club members do travel to other ranges, such as West Wyalong, Dubbo, Springwood, Mossvale, Sutherland, and Malabar for competitions. Within the club, people are given a "grading" after a period of time to ensure they are competing against people of a similar skill level. These gradings are used when competing against other clubs. People who are under 18 are referred to as "Juniors" and they complete against other Juniors when competitions are held. Due to restrictions, rifles must be loaded with single rounds only (no magazines are to be used) and only standard velocity rimfire (0.22cal) ammunition is permitted. If you have any doubts about this, consult a club Range Officer. Secretary: Roman Targonski, 0409 315 651 e-mail: castlehillrifleclub@bigpond.com
