Pistol shooting software for Australian clubs — licences, permits, range attendance, match scores and registry reporting in one connected system.
Every renewal in SquadSpot re-confirms the things a pistol club has to know: licence and permit-to-acquire expiry, Genuine Reason, and the participation record behind it. Members renew and pay online; the secretary sees who is current, who is lapsing and who needs chasing.
Sign-in at the range, match scores and leaderboards all write back to the same member record. When the registry report is due, the data is already there — no spreadsheet reconciliation, no missed attendances.
Pistol clubs carry more administrative weight than almost any other club. Every member holds a licence with an expiry date, every licence rests on a Genuine Reason that has to be evidenced through participation, and the club is expected to report that participation to the state firearms registry on a regular cadence. Generic membership tools treat all of that as a custom field. SquadSpot treats it as the job.
SquadSpot was built in Australian pistol clubs first. Members, licences, permits to acquire, range attendance, match scores, renewals and committee reporting live in one system, so the records you are required to keep are produced by the things the club does every week rather than reconstructed at the end of the year.
Each member profile holds licence type, licence number, expiry and permit-to-acquire details, with reminders to the member and the club before anything lapses. Genuine Reason is recorded against the membership, and the attendance and match history that supports it accumulates automatically, so a member's standing is visible at a glance rather than buried in a filing cabinet.
Members sign in at the range from their phone, or a range officer records attendance for them, with the date, discipline and who approved the entry. Attendances can move through a pending-to-approved state so the official record is reviewed before it counts. The result is a participation register that stands up to scrutiny without anyone transcribing a sign-in book.
Scores for club matches are entered on the day and flow straight into leaderboards, grading and each member's history. Because scoring and attendance share one record, a member's participation for the year is simply the sum of what they actually shot.
Renewals run on the schedule your club sets, with automated reminders, online payment and instant status updates. Digital membership cards update the moment a renewal clears. Committee members stop chasing, and members stop guessing whether they are financial.
When the participation report is due, SquadSpot pulls it from the attendance records already captured at the range door, in the export formats your state registry expects. The same data that runs the club runs the report.
Email and SMS tools let you reach every member, a grade or a squad with match notices, results and club news. If you also want a public website, SquadSpot's built-in CMS publishes fixtures, results and news from the same system, so nothing is typed twice.
If your club currently runs its membership and scoring on ClubPlus, OpenWPlus or another AusPistol desktop database, it is worth seeing how the two approaches compare. Our ClubPlus vs SquadSpot comparison walks through the differences in day-to-day operation, data access and what moving your existing records across actually looks like.
SquadSpot is used by some of the largest pistol clubs in Australia. Book a demo and we will walk through your club's membership, range and reporting workflow end to end, using the records you already keep.
