At the Perth Fremantle Rifle Club we enjoy our sport - Competitive Target Rifle Shooting - in a safe and controlled environment and we aim to excel to all aspects of our shooting.
Our sport is one of longevity, free from the discrimination of age, sex or disability, where young and old, male and female step forward onto the mound as equals.
Our club and sport is over 100 years old, steeped in history and tradition, but we refuse to rest on our laurels and we constantly look forward, thinking about the next shot to come.

Perth Fremantle Rifle Club's motto is Aim
For Excellence and the club has done just that.
With a strong attendance on the mound at club shoots often making up at least 1/3 of the 5 participating clubs attendees, an excellent turn out at the interclub teams days and fantastic member attendance at country District prize meetings throughout the year. With the final shoot at Swanbourne Rifle Range being held on the 13th December 2014, two of our club members finished on an exceptionally high note, with our club champions out shooting all other clubs champions to become District Champions.
Congratulations to Stan (Target Rifle) and Geoff (FClass Standard).

Looking down the range
The Swanbourne rifle range is a two target gallery range with short range 300 to 600 yards (gallery with targets) and long range gallery 700 to 1000 yards (large numbers in the back ground). Shooters in the background are shooting at the 300 yard mound, and people in the foreground are moving back ready to shoot, when the all clear is given at the 500 yard mound.
Electronic Targets
Perth Fremantle and the other Swanbourne based clubs shoot on electronic targets, which plot the shots on a monitor situated next to the shooter.
Scorers tablets
Scorers use tablets to follow the shooters progress and the lastest development in electronic target and control room sofware is the ability to stream the shooters score and group (the plot of the shots) directly on to a website, so other shooters around the world can watch the results live.
