The shotgun report breaks the morning quiet as orange clay plates slice up into the cool Werribee sky. Under a wide western-Melbourne plain, instructors position you at five stations; clay discs streak across a brim of wind that teaches you to lead, not follow. The range feels practical and precise: marked stations, a line of benches, and pro coaches moving between shooters, correcting stance and sight.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The range feels practical and precise: marked stations, a line of benches, and pro coaches moving between shooters, correcting stance and sight.
Go Shooting was formed in 1999 by Olympic medallists Russell and Lauryn Mark; their corporate operation has turned competitive target shooting into an accessible group activity. The range sits on the basalt plains west of Melbourne, geology that leaves the land flat and exposed — which makes for consistent target flight but also means weather matters. Locally, clay target shooting sits alongside Australia’s strong small-bore and sporting-clay traditions and draws visitors from Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Expect a 10-target practical warm-up, then a fun 20-target competition with singles and doubles across five stations; awards for top scores and a leaderboard for repeat shooters. No firearms licence or prior experience required; all firearms and safety equipment are supplied, and spectators are welcome.
Practical tips: wear closed-toe shoes and sturdy clothing, bring sun protection and a water bottle, and arrive 15–20 minutes early for safety briefing. If rain is forecast check with the operator—ranges may run in light conditions but heavy weather could affect safety. For first-timers, focus on stance, follow-through, and trusting the coach: clay targets move fast, but coaching is designed to get you hitting targets quickly.
