A place to belong.
The QRA 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.
The QRA is very keen to support its members and the community in any way we can. This support is both on and off the shooting range, and encompasses some very broad areas.

A SPORT FOR ALL GENERATIONS
Whether you’re young or just young at heart, shooting could be the sport for you. Unique to this sport is the fact that you will find brothers and sisters, parents, aunties and uncles, and even grandparents, shooting side by side. A sport for all generations.

NO MATTER WHAT STAGE OF LIFE YOU BEGIN
The beauty of this sport is that you can jump in at every age from 11 years old. We all share a long life journey and learn, compete and celebrate together.

NO MATTER WHAT GENDER, AGE, OR ABILITY
Shooters, safety officers, volunteers, coaches, spectators, the board, crew and staff - we are the QRA. From looking after facilities, to organising the next shoot and introducing new people to our beloved sport and community, we are all in it together.

TAKE PART AND CONTRIBUTE YOUR WAY
Shooting can actually be a very calming activity. The correct breathing techniques help you to calm down and focus - something you'll master by practising this sport. And look at the environment you perform in - surrounded by nature, accompanied by wildlife.
