Lang Lang Rifle Club (LLRC) offers non-members the opportunity to visit the range to “sight in” or “zero” their rifles/scopes at a distance of 100 yards (50 yards for .22lr / air rifles) prior to that all-important hunting trip or competition. Our friendly Range Officers, (accredited with the Victorian Rifle Association - VRA), will establish sound safety procedures, and assist with proper setup for sighting in.
Please note that this is not an open-ended practice session, it is purely to assist you in sighting in your rifle(s). Unfortunately, we are unable to offer non-members open access to our Main Range.
For prospective new members and those who wish to try shooting for the first time, we offer an initial introductory session on our Smallbore Range, which includes basic tuition, ammunition and the use of a .22LR club rifle. More information is available in the Try Shooting section under "More" from the main menu of this website.
Please take time to read the following information carefully to ensure that you can comply PRIOR to your arrival at the range. This will ensure a safe, enjoyable and worthwhile trip to LLRC.
