Refer to our web page for the competition program. The Darwin Gun Club (DGC) was formed in 1961 and was located at the old site behind the Darwin showgrounds in Winnellie. In 1975, the club hosted its first annual shoot; an event that has become well known around Australia in clay target circles and still continues today. DGC moved across to its current site on Abala Road, Marrara Sports Complex during 1982/83. The government was indeed generous in its support, providing a large demountable from the old Darwin Hospital as a clubhouse at no cost and also a series of direct grants. Over the years the club has been able to develop its facilities to a level that is unmatched in north Australia or indeed any club in Australia of similar membership. It currently boasts of four down the line layouts, two American s***t layouts, one Olympic s***t layout, one Olympic trap (trench) layout, one Olympic double trap layout, a tower and finally a 5-stand sporting clays layout all set within landscaped grounds within a short driving distance of the majority of Darwin residents and near the international airport.
