Australian Shooter is the official publication for the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA), specifically dealing with sport shooting and hunting in Australia. It is published monthly.
History
Australian Shooter was the original name given to the SSAA's member newsletter in 1948. It later became the Australian Shooters' Journal and remained so until 1999 when new managing editor Tim Bannister was given approval by the SSAA National Board to change the name back to Australian Shooter.
A monthly magazine, Australian Shooter quickly became the main publication for recreational shooters, competitors and hunters in Australia.
In 2007, Australian Shooter became one of the first magazines of its circulation in Australia to be fully printed on 100 per cent recycled paper.
In 2008, it had an audited circulation of more than 100,000 readers. In 2016, readership was more than 180,000 each month.
Contents
Australian Shooter contains columns, firearm and accessory reviews, historical, technical and how-to articles, member letters, competition results and news, merchandise and profiles on SSAA shooting clubs and members.
The magazine also regularly features interviews with and profiles on celebrity shooters and hunters, in recent years including:
