WELCOME TO TUMUT PISTOL CLUB!
The Tumut Pistol Club was previously called the Tumut / Batlow Pistol Club and was formed
in 1967 and in 1990 it relocated to Tumut and changed its name to Tumut Pistol Club
and is located on the Kurrajong Reserve Wee Jasper Road Tumut.
We are a local not-for-profit sporting club, dedicated to the advancement of our sport
and the enjoyment of our Members.
Tumut Pistol Club is run entirely by volunteers.
There is a Management Committee to oversee the general running of the Club and take
care of the legislative and administrative functions, however the Club relies on the
efforts of the members in general to help organise and run events.
We are constantly striving to improve facilities for its
members.
Tumut pistol club is affiliated with NSW
Amateur Pistol Association and Pistol Australia, the main governing body.

accordance with NSW Amateur Pistol Australia , ISSF rules.
We offer facilities for members and visitors to shoot most competitions for 25 metres
We have an outdoor range, and amenities at our facility.
Our club members range from serious shooters to those who just enjoy having a shot and
the social side of the club after shooting .
Pistol shooting is a very safe sport that can be enjoyed by the whole family, with
junior shooters starting at 12 years of age.
There are a number of families with more

with the same guns at the same distance and at the same targets.
