Watch SSAA NSW CEO Pete Szaak speak with SSAA NSW President Jai Rowell and SSAA NSW Gallery R***e Discipline Chair Rod Pascoe as to why disciplines matter more than ever. Watch here👉 https://youtu.be/hX_ufvC5kUY

Under TOLA, a licence held for recreational hunting or vermin control caps you at 4 fi****ms.

Add target shooting to your fi****ms licence and that goes up to 10. 🎯

And there's no shortage of ways to do it, with over 20 disciplines available in NSW. The full list is on the SSAA NSW website under the disciplines dropdown, with the rules and a contact number for each one.

Take Gallery R***e for example. It covers matches shot at short and medium distances with ri**es chambered for pistol-calibre cartridges.

And this discipline is hosting its State Titles right here 👇

📅 Friday 30 October – Sunday 1 November 2026
📍 SSAA NSW Hill Top Shooting Complex

Three GR Club days will run beforehand, so you can come along and see if it's for you.

Target Shooting as a genuine reason must be on your Fi****ms Licence to enter.
