Disciplines

The SSAA’s shooting competitions – commonly referred to as ‘disciplines’ – are the backbone of the Association. Our disciplines include the use of many different types of firearms, such as shotguns, pistols, revolvers, and rifles in rimfire, centrefire, air, and black powder configurations, and a variety of targets, depending on the discipline and competition concerned. You can view all disciplines here.

The SSAA conducts shooting competitions in all Australian states and territories at the club, state and national levels. In addition, the Association regularly hosts international shooting competitions in Australia and supports member participation in a large number of international competitions around the world.

The SSAA has developed rules for shooting events across a range of disciplines, including the SSAA Standard Rules and other guides. The SSAA Standard Rules apply to all SSAA disciplines, and the current version takes precedence over the relevant rules in a SSAA discipline rule book. All current SSAA rule books are available on their respective discipline pages, and we encourage members and clubs to download, print and refer to them as needed. The Guide to Disciplines for Clubs and Competitors has been developed to help clubs and competitors better understand the disciplines and how they are managed.
