Ammunition

Full metal jacket projectiles cannot be used at TPC.  Jacketed hollow points, lead, copper washed and copper plated (e.g. Frontier, Tiger Shark, Campro etc.) are acceptable.

Camping

Due the limited space available, camping is not available at TPC during the pre-match or main match.

Mobile Reception

Mobile reception at the range is poor.  That prevents us from having EFTPOS facilities.

Water

TPC does not have access to the town water supply, please be water wise.  The tap water at TPC is not potable so please bring your own or buy water from the canteen.
