QRA – A PLACE TO BELONG

Our organisation dates back to 1861 and we take pride in our history and contribution to the community. 

We provide a unique community sport, offering participation at all levels to a wide range of people throughout Queensland.  The QRA is an incorporated association with a board of directors which represents the interests of members from various affiliated rifle clubs around the state. These people come from all walks of life, and as individuals have found they have a place to belong within our QRA community.
