ATTENTION
ALL PPLA MEMBERS AND VISITORS TO OUR CLUB

Effective immediately there is to be NO handling of firearms within the clubhouse.

The practice of de-bagging/bagging of firearms from vehicles is also to cease.
This includes all pistols, rifles and shotguns.

A new safety area has been constructed at the far end of the veranda for all de-bagging/bagging, cleaning, repairing, showing and practice drawing etc.

Additionally, any person found handling any firearms within the clubhouse during a competition will be disqualified from that competition. Handguns may still be worn in a holster in the clubhouse.

Welcome to the PPLA webpage.

PPLA is Victoria’s largest IPSC club with fantastic facilities that ensure we can shoot all 3 disciplines of IPSC.

Situated at the SSAA Eagle Park range complex at Little River, we have access to 23 pistol ranges which can be used for shotgun and rifle competition as well. Thus the ability of PPLA to run pistol, rifle and shotgun competitions put us in a position envied by many. We have a fully self-contained clubhouse with all facilities; kitchen, toilets, showers, TV and a great fire to keep us warm in winter.

Our range has hosted many National and International events over the years including the IPSC National Championships, IPSC Australasian Championships, Steel Challenge Nationals and the World Police and Fire Games.

PPLA is an IPSC only club, in that we only compete in the one discipline. IPSC is the fastest, most action orientated pistol sport in the world. Competitors use only full power handguns with a minimum caliber of 9mm. IPSC originated in the US in the early 1950’s and has become a favorite in over 80 countries around the world. More information on IPSC can be found at www.ipsc.org.au

PPLA has approximately 100 members and runs regular competitions on the third Sunday of each month. Specialized training days for new members are on the first Sunday of each month, although every Sunday is a training day for new and not so new members. Results can be found on the results page.

PPLA members are amongst the best shooters in the country, with members and previous members being major winners at many State and National Championships. PPLA also has within its members, leading National and International Range Officials. Without these Officials, matches would not function. 

So please feel free to contact the President if you require more information about joining what we like to describe as Australia’s Premier Club.
