MDRA Range Program

The ANZAC Rifle Range is the largest rifle range in the southern hemisphere, and is located on the Malabar Headland, south of Sydney.

It is headquarters to the New South Wales Rifle Association, which hosts the annual NSW Queen's Prize.

The range is shared between various shooting associations and clubs including Metropolitan  District Rifle Association Clubs (MDRA), Military  District Rifle Association Clubs (MDRA), NSW Smallbore and Air Rifle Association,  Drummoyne RSL Pistol Club and the Sporting Shooters Association (SSAA). 

Other users of the range include the Sydney Model Aero Club and the Malabar Riding School which also utilise the range for their activities.

The range is utilised through the week by a couple of MDRA clubs and  extensively by Comonwealth and State authorities for shooting activities. Weekends see most clubs taking advantage of the complex with its spectacular views to participate in friendly but fiercely competive target shooting competitions on a wide range of targets and different shooting disciplines.
