The Association

Today’s FGA is an efficient organisation representing almost 15,000 members. Members of the Association are united by their interest in shooting sports and activities and their desire to see Australia’s wetlands preserved for future generations.

FGA is an organisation working for all firearm owners to preserve a range of skills and expand the opportunity for all Australian’s to enjoy those skills.

We promote responsible firearm ownership, ethical hunting and clay target shooting.
