In the 1960's, the RVIB approached engineer George Glover to produce equipment to allow blind people to shoot, based upon that made available at St Dunstan's Hospital in the UK. The rifle range opened in February 1966 at the rear of St Kilda Road with 30 members, and soon became involved in matches with sighted rifle clubs in the area. The club had many successful years, competing against teams from Canada and New Zealand in 1968. These were the members of the RVIB Rifle Club's first international challenge team (left to right): P Hull (referee), J Mallia, R.J. Hughes, R.C. Teague, J.O. Hoffman (Captain), I.V. Leggett, F.G.
