Getting bigger 

Attentive members will have noticed a new logo recently adopted for SSAA Queensland. A fresh look is more than just a change of colours or design though. It reflects the direction of an organisation that continues to grow in size, strength and ambition. Most importantly, the new branding puts Queensland front and centre. 

It comes at a time when SSAA Queensland has never been stronger. Our membership now sits at more than 82,000 members and continues to rise. Every new member adds to the voice of lawful firearm owners, hunters, sporting shooters and outdoor enthusiasts across the state. Growth in numbers also means greater capability to invest back into ranges, events, further hunting opportunities, services and advocacy. 

Our media presence has grown too. The Report has staked its claim as Australia’s largest print circulation hunting, shooting and outdoors magazine, reaching members across Queensland and beyond. It is something we can all be proud of, and it continues to expand alongside the organisation it represents. Also, if you aren’t following us on Facebook, now is the time to join. 

The Australian Shooters Alliance is another example of growth. As part of the wider SSAA Queensland operation, it has developed into an internationally recognised advocacy body, helping ensure Queensland voices are heard loud and clear. 

Our competitive footprint is also expanding. SSAA Queensland now sends multiple teams overseas, and by next year we are planning to send about 12 Queensland teams to international events. These trips provide valuable experience for our shooters, strengthen relationships abroad and help put Queensland firmly on the map. 

We are building momentum. Bigger membership. Bigger opportunities. Bigger influence. Bigger ambitions. When you’re part of SSAA Queensland, you’re part of something bigger.
