You

When you join a club, you may wonder what your membership actually means. Without you, the club and indeed the whole shooting community cannot exist.  When you start shooting as a member of one of the clubs belonging to the Queensland Rifle Association (QRA), you become part of the shooting community.  It consists of many organisations operating at different levels,  each with their own role in delivering an environment to give the shooter (you) the opportunity to participate in the sport.

Club Level

Club volunteers are an essential part of any rifle club. Volunteers not only look after club facilities like the range, clubhouse and targets, but also carry out tasks such as coaching, scoring, and making new members feel welcome. When you are new to the sport you will learn about these tasks and when ready, you may become the one supporting a new member.  But it doesn’t stop with the club.

District Level

Clubs are connected through District Rifle Associations (DRAs), which organise shooting events between regional clubs, and advocate the interests of the clubs in their own district.  Involvement with a DRA is a great way to get to know other clubs and their members.

State Level

The Queensland Rifle Association (QRA) represents the clubs and their members at state level. That involves dealing not just with the management side of shooting, including governance and insurance,  but also with funding, sport pathways and other club support.
