About

About SSAA SA Inc

Our full name is the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (South Australia) Incorporated.

With 35 Clubs, SSAA SA caters for the needs of Rifle, Handgun and Shotgun Shooters. Our wide variety of activities include firearms safety training, target shooting, hunting, primary production, archery, working gundogs and collecting. If you like to compete, target shoot, need to sight in a firearm, or are a newcomer and just want to Try Shooting and meet new people, then come for a visit.

The first question many people ask is, what is the SSAA SA?

SSAA SA is the largest shooting organisation representing all law abiding firearms owners in South Australia with 35 affiliated clubs and thousands of members state-wide. We represent shooters with a wide variety of interests ranging from target shooting, plinking, hunting, archery, working gundogs and firearm collecting.

If you are a newcomer looking for an opportunity to try an exciting and challenging sport, or an experienced shooter wanting to improve your skills, meet new people or becoming more active, then you have come to the right place.

Our Clubs and Matches

In South Australia the SSAA SA state organisation is based around its clubs. Our clubs are structured to allow people to either participate in competitions or to sight in a new firearm for their next hunting trip.

Many of our club matches are based firmly on field shooting and do not require a dedicated target firearm or equipment to start. Many of the matches are graded competitions so that it caters to the local club shooter as well as, national and international competitors. There is also a large variety of matches to suit nearly every type of firearm.

A popular shooting discipline based around field shooting is Field Rifle. This match utilises rifles with open, peep or telescopic sights, and is an excellent way to improve your accuracy and develop your shooting position techniques at a variety of distances.
