Precision at Range: Legacy-Club Access to Hill Top’s Steel Targets Out to 500m
An authoritative guide to booking and running an individual lane hire on the SSAA NSW Hill Top long‑distance steel-target range — for approved Legacy Clubs and qualified individual shooters.
Precision at Range: Legacy-Club Access to Hill Top’s Steel Targets Out to 500m.
Set into the rolling bush of Hill Top, New South Wales, the SSAA NSW Hill Top Shooting Complex offers a deliberately engineered testing ground for long‑range marksmanship: 60 numbered lanes, steel targets, and selectable distances that put shooters out to the edge of precision — up to 500 metres — in privately reserved sessions for club activities or individual lane hires.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A Long‑Distance Steel Target Network
Sixty numbered lanes give shooters discrete, measurable challenges; this is a steel‑target facility designed for both rifle and pistol work with dedicated long distances that test precision rather than volume.
Legacy‑Club Exclusive Booking
This booking option is reserved for approved Legacy Clubs and their members, who may book lanes for official activities, training or events; unlisted clubs have alternative booking routes and individuals may book Individual Lane Hire.
Choose Your Distance — 50m to 500m
At booking you select the lane distance to suit your discipline: options span 50m (rifle & pistol) through graduated rifle distances up to 500m, enabling everything from close‑precision drills to long‑range marksmanship work.
What the day feels like
What a Lane Hire Feels Like
The session is deliberately modular: you arrive, check in and take exclusive control of a numbered lane for the reserved block of time, set up your mat and support, don hearing and eye protection, and run tailored drills or club training at the selected distance — a focused, measured hour where the environment is engineered to strip shooting down to discipline and repeatability.

Details to review before reserving
Valid photo ID, your original and valid firearm licence and permits, hearing and eye protection, full shooting equipment (mats, bipod, ammunition) and any personal items you need for a multi‑hour session.
Enclosed footwear is required; sleeveless shirts and open‑neck tops are not permitted on‑range. Bring certified hearing and eye protection for every shooter.
Bring snacks, drinks and a packed lunch — there are no restaurants within the range complex and sessions can last several hours.
You must present original firearm licences and permits at check‑in and bring your own consumables and supports; the range does not supply full shooting kits.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
