The Metro Rifle & Pistol Club (1976) ascended from the modernization and reorganization of the Sydney Rifle Club, founded early in the 20th century. We were, in those early years, an organization devoted to the development of athletics with firearms, the refinement of marksmanship skills, and a venue for upstanding like-minded citizens to share pertinent knowledge; especially to younger members. I am proud to state the evolution of our club into our modern culture, still nurtures those goals established very early in the last Century.
