Australian Shooter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
[edit] 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 it had an audited circulation of more than 100,000 readers.
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.
