Located in Southport, Queensland, The Shooting Centre offers a hands-on adventure that breaks from the conventional outdoor activity mold. Specializing in firearm experiences, the "BETTER THAN OTHERS" package invites marksmen and newcomers alike to engage with a selection of weapons including the 9mm Hera, .22 caliber rifle, and the 12-gauge shotgun of choice. This experience is crafted to deliver adrenaline-fueled moments, skill-building, and a memorable day out within a professional and safe environment.
Southport sits on the southern end of Queensland’s Gold Coast, famous mostly for its surfing beaches and hinterland trails, but here, the landscape shifts to a controlled shooting range that emphasizes precision and technique.

The range features well-maintained facilities designed to accommodate various skill levels, from first-timers testing their aim to seasoned shooters refining technique.
