Ipswich City Pistol Club – Aiming true in the heart of Ipswich (The Report June 2025)

One of SSAA Queensland’s eight state shooting complexes is the bustling hub of pistol shooters at Ipswich City Pistol Club (ICPC). The club caters for pistol shooting enthusiasts of all experience levels and, as a wholly owned business of SSAA Queensland, it has built a reputation for safety, support and the shared enjoyment of shooting. 

Despite being an indoor range, ICPC caters to a wide range of pistol competitions. Regular events include modified NRA matches, combined services matches, and a variety of rimfire and centrefire competitions. Whether you’re shooting from 10 metres or 20, strong hand or freestyle, there’s a new challenge for shooters to test their accuracy, consistency, and control. With so much variety, ICPC makes it easy for shooters to reach their minimum yearly handgun shooting requirements. 

The club has a friendly and inclusive atmosphere, making it a great place for newcomers to learn the ropes. For those wanting to enter the sport and get their licence, ICPC offers Queensland Weapons Act Safety Courses, run by trained instructors. 

ICPC is primarily for members of the club, and SSAA members, but unlicenced visitors wishing to try pistol shooting and invited visitors are also welcome. The club encourages those considering a Category H licence to get involved in competitions early and often – not only to meet legal obligations, but to find the type of shooting they like best.  

Range fees are competitive, and membership options including for juniors, are available for different needs and levels of commitment. Unlicenced visitors can purchase various packages which include pistol hire, ammunition, and targets. These packages are available in .22, 9mm and .357 mag.  

A busy calendar, clear and well-enforced range rules, and an exceptional culture make ICPC one of the most accessible and well-run pistol clubs in the region. Whether you’re pursuing national championships or just discovering shooting for the first time, ICPC offers a space where excellence and enjoyment go hand in hand.
