BUILT FOR ATHLETES

More than a shooting lesson.

177 Club is the athlete-development brand of Red Dot Sports Academy. We combine structured coaching, competition experience and individualized planning to help every athlete progress with purpose.

From a first safe shot to national and international competition, our coaching develops technique, focus, resilience and independent problem-solving—skills that last well beyond the firing line.

OUR HERITAGE

Red Dot roots.
177 Club future.

177 Club grew from Red Dot Sports Academy, founded in Richmond in 2019. The original Red Dot identity remains part of who we are: a clear point of focus, disciplined practice and the courage to keep progressing.

Today, 177 Club carries that foundation forward through structured athlete development, competition coaching and an international performance pathway.
