I find it interesting how many pistol clubs are located near airports. I guess it's just a matter of realestate. Off the top of my head:
- Geelong (Grovedale)
- Darwin
- Point Cook
- Melbourne Airport!
I'm sure there are many more.
Did anyone else ever shoot pistols at Melbourne airport pistol club? I recall firing off a few mags with 747's and many other large aircraft flying directly overhead. It was a little concerning at first. They were seriously so close it was like you could take out a tyre if you wanted.
Perhaps that's why the club closed down!
I remember getting the directions. Drive past Tulla and enter at Gate 5 ! The road took me past an old wrecked aircraft with doors that opened at the front - looked a little like a Dove and had trailers and rubbish in it.
