The Sporting Shooters Pistol Club (SSPC) is part of the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA). We operate as a sub-club of the SSAA Range Springvale. SSPC has over 750 members from all walks of life who participate in Pistol Target Shooting.
Our facilities include six approved pistol ranges for air, rimfire and centrefire pistols. This allows for numerous types of pistol shooting events at distances from 7 metres to 50 metres.
Competitions are run on a weekly basis and include ISSF 25 metre, 25m Service Match, 50m Service Match, 25m Center Fire Pistol, 25m Center Fire Pistol Rapid Fire, modified “3-Gun” and both weekly and monthly in IPSC.
Club members have free access to over sixty club owned pistols in various calibers, which can be used for practice or competition. Both rim-fire and center-fire pistols up to .45 caliber may be used on the ranges, so long as the power factor does not exceed 180,000 (Projectile Weight in Grains x Velocity in feet/second).
The SSPC is one of the biggest handgun target shooting clubs in Victoria. Our club is run by a large group of volunteers and we maintain a friendly club atmosphere where family participation is encouraged.
The Club is also affiliated with IPSC for members who wish to shoot that discipline. SSPC Springvale boasts great facilities with a well equipped Bar and Bistro dining facilities where members can relax and socialise after a day’s shoot.
