SA rifle ranges with no membership?

[Dilmah]

Hi fellas

I am new to shooting and was wondering if there is a range is south Australia I can go to,so I can practice and zero my rifle without having to join a club and compete ,as it seems that is the only way to get access to the shooting ranges.
Any information on the subject is greatly appreciated.

SSAA ranges are your best bet I think. Independent clubs often seem to have the mentality that unless you're there to support their club, you can start you're own club before they'll let you pay to use theirs. Also, lots of smaller clubs only exist so the handful of members can get their shoots in without having to travel, so they're only open once or twice a month for their members to shoot those comps.

Try myponga pistol club. They will let you shoot there for a nominal fee without needing to join. At least,they did a while back. And even better if you're mates with a member lol.

The SSAA ones that I've talked to will let you shoot once or twice.....after which they expect you to join....

I go to SSAA Para to zero/plink with my rifles. I've been doing it a few times a year for a few years now, and haven't joined up, mostly because I don't think I would get the use out of a yearly membership YET...once I have more weekend time I'll definitely be doing it.

it is $50 a visit though when you do it that way though.
