The NRAA is pleased to release the final draft of the updated Standard Shooting Rules (SSR) for review and comment.
This draft reflects the considered work of the NRAA Rules Committee and incorporates feedback received during earlier consultation phases. Chapters 1–3 (General Rules, Target Rifle, F-Class, and Sporter/Hunter) are now available for final review by all affiliated State and Territory Associations prior to Board approval and publication.
The remaining chapters (Service Rifle, Match Rifle, Field, and Biathlon) are currently being finalised and will be released shortly for consultation. These will follow the same feedback process and timelines outlined below.
