Club shirts, hats, stubby holders—are you getting the most from your club merch?

In my latest blog, I talk about how our family’s Graysholm Pistol Team uses branded gear to boost our community spirit and club visibility. Done right, merchandise can turn your members into proud ambassadors and attract new interest to your club.

In shooting, consistency is everything. The same goes for sponsorship. In our latest post, I dive into why showing up year after year builds trust and grows both your brand and the sport itself.

Sponsorship in the shooting sports is more than just money changing hands. It’s about connection, trust, and supporting the community that keeps the sport alive. Grycol Outdoors and Target Arms Australia - Potter Fi****ms supporting the event and Jakins Accounting, Clifford Gouldson Lawyers, and Ballistic Branding supporting the Graysholm Pistol Team all played their part at the Target Pistol Australia 2025 ISSF Nationals, and the impact reached well beyond the range.

Social media can be a minefield for Australian fi****ms retailers. Want to promote your products without risking bans or burying your content in the algorithm? Email marketing might be your best asset.

🚨 You do not need to be a TikTok sensation to grow your coaching business. 🚨

You don’t have to post every day, go viral, or suddenly become an “influencer” with a ring light and a dance routine. But if you want shooters to find you, trust you, and book in with you—then you do need to show up.

📸 Just a real look at how you coach.
💬 Just your voice, your values, your approach.

No gloss. No gimmicks. Just useful, honest content that connects with your kind of people.
