SSAA-SA is the largest organisation
representing firearms owners in South
Australia with 25 affiliated clubs and
thousands of members state-wide. We represent
shooters with a wide variety of interests
ranging from hunting to target shooting,
working gundogs and firearm collecting.
SSAA-SA actively supports the traditional right of all South Australians to hunt ethically and responsibly. Click here to visit our Go Shooting
page with information on hunting and shooting in
South Australia.
Our members are our strength. They come from all walks of life ― from doctors
to boiler-makers and union organisers to company directors. We have ranges
throughout the state that are available to our members for sighting in
purposes. We encourage all shooters to join with us to defend our sport.
An important side-benefit is that all
members are covered by an insurance policy whenever they shoot whether on the range or in the
field.
We are organised around our clubs. Many of our
matches are based firmly on field shooting and
do not require a dedicated target rifle - any
hunting rifle will do, and that is what most
members use. A popular shooting discipline is Lever
Action, using, as the name suggests, lever
action rifles from .22 calibre up. Another is rimfire Field Rifle utilising .22 rifles with
open, peep or telescopic sights. Click on

full range of disciplines that we conduct. More
information is available

Air rifle is enjoyed by millions of
able-bodied and disabled shooters world-wide.
It is very popular with junior shooters and
is generally shot on indoor ranges. It's a
fantastic way to teach young people safe
firearm handling and instils patience,
discipline and respect. Young people find it
challenging, enjoyable and rewarding.
We lobby the State and Federal Governments on
matters that affect our sport but we can't
do it alone
—
we need your help. The greater our
membership, the more effective we are. Help
us to defend your rights.
