    About us

    Welcome to Chinchilla Clay Target Club, a friendly and vibrant club located in the heart of Western Queensland—just 3.5 hours west of Brisbane. Our club is a proud part of the Chinchilla community, offering a welcoming environment for shooters of all levels, from first-timers to seasoned competitors.

    We’re home to six fully equipped DTL layouts, catering to competition, practice, and social shooting. As an ACTA-affiliated club, we warmly welcome all registered shooters travelling through or looking for a great place to compete, practice, or simply enjoy the sport.

    Our members are easily recognised by their signature watermelon-coloured vests, a symbol of the fun, friendly, and down-to-earth spirit that defines our club.

    One of the highlights of our calendar is the famous Chinchilla Annual 3-Day Carnival, held every year on the October Long Weekend. This iconic event attracts shooters from across Queensland and beyond for three action-packed days of great shooting, camaraderie, and country hospitality.

    For those keen to give clay target shooting a go, we open our doors to the public on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday evening of every month—excluding State of Origin nights, of course (we know our priorities!). Whether you’re a curious newcomer or someone keen to get back into the sport, these evenings are the perfect chance to have a go in a safe, supportive environment.

    At Chinchilla Clay Target Club, it’s all about great shooting, good company, and a healthy dose of country spirit. Come join us—you’ll be glad you did.
