Roseville Rifle Club Australia

It was a horror end to 2025 with the awful events at Bondi. The community was rocked to its core – and collectively we have said “no” to extremist violence. However, the repercussions are that there is now new gun legislation at the State and Federal level that has now been passed. We all need to understand and work with the authorities to support that new legislation to ensure we survive as a sport and help keep the community feel safer.

One outcome is that we took a long break over Christmas in sympathy with the community and our neighbours. However, Roseville Rifle Club is now back on the range. Roseville is Duty Club this month; therefore, this post is to highlight how the club has pulled together at this time to support the other clubs on the range for the shooting activities.

Whether it is helping with set-up (range flags, range servers, etc) or range officer duties (flouro vests, briefings, safety checks) or helping with pack up (range flags, ranger servers etc) the Rosevillians were out in number lending a hand. There were also the usual Saturday jobs to be done too (targets up, tents up, monitor set up and then packing up all of that afterwards). And of course, where would we be without Dmitri and his trailer skills?

Thanks to everyone that has been helping with “Range Duty” month. We couldn’t do it without you – and it was good to see so many people back after the break. Check out the photos!

But what about the shooting you ask? Sydney has thrown our way some weird weather in January (wind / rain / heat) that meant the cancelling of one of the shoots and some pretty tricky conditions.  For today at least, the best part of the shooting was the ice blocks delivered by Captain Rob Trodden. Just don’t ask anyone about our scores over the past couple of weeks.
