2027 Practical Pistol Shooting Membership Applications Now Open
Thank you for your interest in joining Pine Valley Pistol Club Inc.
Our 2026 Practical Pistol Shooting training cohort is now full, and we’d like to thank everyone for the incredible interest in joining our club.
As a volunteer-run organisation, PVPC carefully manages membership intake to ensure every new member receives a high-quality induction, training and mentoring experience while maintaining the club’s safety standards, values and culture. Due to the strong demand for memberships and the association’s capacity to deliver training and onboarding, all currently available places in our training program have now been allocated.
We’re now welcoming expressions of interest for our 2027 Practical Pistol Shooting membership intake.
If you’ve been thinking about getting involved in Practical Pistol Shooting, now is the perfect time to register your interest. Whether you’re completely new to the sport or looking to become part of a friendly, supportive club, our structured training program is designed to help you develop the skills and knowledge needed to get started safely and confidently.
Registering your interest early helps us plan future training programs and ensures you’ll receive updates about upcoming training courses, membership opportunities and important information leading up to the 2027 intake.
Open Days
From time to time, PVPC hosts Open Days, subject to the availability of our volunteers. These events provide prospective members with an opportunity to learn about the club, our facilities, the practical pistol shooting disciplines we offer, and the legal and regulatory requirements associated with firearms ownership and club membership.
Recognition of Prior Learning & Transfers
Individuals seeking Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), or those transferring from recognised practical shooting organisations within Australia or overseas, are encouraged to contact the club to discuss their circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
If you’re ready to take up an exciting and rewarding sport, we’d love to hear from you.
Training
For new members PVPC provides a training course that runs for 12-14 weeks which will bring you from never having touched a pistol before, to passing your holster proficiency test and then to compete with all the other members in the weekly competitions. Each training group allows for about 15 places so each participant has the right amount of attention.
