Located in Southport, Queensland, Australia, The Shooting Centre offers an electrifying experience designed for couples seeking an adventurous twist on date night. Aptly named “Couples Therapy,” this interactive shooting session tests marksmanship skills through a range of firearms, providing a fast-paced and memorable outing unlike any other in the region. Southport, a vibrant coastal city known for its blend of urban appeal and natural beauty, sets the perfect scene for visitors to combine excitement with exploration.
At The Shooting Centre, participants start with 18 rounds of 9mm fired from a 1911 pistol, allowing both partners to get a feel for precision shooting under expert supervision. The experience then steps up in intensity and diversity, offering 6 rounds fired through either a .38 special revolver or a .357 magnum revolver, depending on gender-specific packages. This progression introduces participants to the distinct handling and recoil of these classic revolvers, adding both challenge and thrill.
The grand finale is a shared adrenaline rush: 10 rounds each through a .45 ACP Glock, a heavier caliber pistol known for its stopping power and reliability. Each stage of the session pushes couples to sharpen their aim, control their breathing, and engage in a friendly competition—making it an exciting bonding activity.

All shooting takes place in a controlled indoor environment with experienced guides ensuring proper handling and user confidence. The range fits neatly into Southport's array of activities, offering a unique, adrenaline-fueled option alongside popular water sports and nature excursions characteristic of the area.
